I am an idiot! Sorry,I was thinking pole positions and you're right he only has one win in the premier class.

Ok,but I doubt Hayden will do any better than Milandri did. I know,I know I'm a hater but really,Nicky was on the same team as Rossi during the years that the Honda flat out DOMINATED MotoGp. The Honda was by far the best bike on the track,hands down. Then Rossi switches to an acknowledged inferior bike and Hayden still can't capitalize. Now the excuse is that the bike wasn't "made" for Nicky and that's why he can't win. What will the excuse be next season,Bridgestone tires,Stoner gets all the good parts,his Italian isn't very good,etc? I know everyone wants NH to be the champion we've been missing in MotoGp for decades. I just don't see it.

No worries...I have my own least favorite racers.

But I am home sick today so I am going to fight with you a little longer...

I have only been watching MotoGP religiously for a little over three years now so I cannot say what happened previously...but the year that NH won and before the engine switch the Honda was "made" for Hayden. Once they switched it has taken him a long time to get it where it is. IMO this is obvious because of how far he has come this season.

Fair enough..

Ok,
1. the previous bike was "made" for Rossi,or his 1st team mate (can't think of the name right now)

2. Pedrosa did extremely well on the previous bike too.

3. A "true" champion can win on almost any machine. The MotoGp history books are filled with past greats who have overcome much greater "obstacles" than Hayden's so called tribulations.

Rossi did better lap times than Hayden in Assen with most of his shifter missing! Pedrosa won the 250 championship with two broken ankles. Dovisioso finished ahead of Hayden in his 1st time to Laguna Seca. De Puniet has a broken hand and finished just behind Hayden.
With all this,"the bike wasn't made for him talk",I have to remark,these are MotoGp bikes with almost unlimited adjustability,an almost bottomless budget, mechanics on the scene who's only job is to set your tire pressure and wipe the windscreen of the bike. If you can't make it under these conditions with the best equipment in the world..... BTW will someone please tell Nicky that the whining,quavering voice at the end of every race is played out. I've seen interviews of Rossi back when he was 16 and I have never seen him whine like a bitch!

Rossi is badass, call be a fanboy, but the guy is always entertaining

No doubt! I was lucky enough to see his first win in the 125s. I believe he was the youngest ever winner until Milandri won his first race. Rossi has always been awesome! Who saw that race,I can't remember where,but it was his 1st or 2nd season in the premier class. It was in the rain and he crashed,like 3 times and still almost won. I'll give Hayden one prop tho'...at least he isn't as big of a crybaby as Max "wah,wah,wah" Biaggi!

A few things i noticed:

lorenzo looks like stoner of his honda days. Way fast but couldnt keep is butt in the seat. But with highsides instead of lowsides.

Dovisioso is the real deal.

nicky had tires as an excuse till Dovi passed him. hes not the smoothest and apperently the Ducati likes it rough so he should move there.

rossi- there was only one way to win that race and he MADE it happen. now there is no excuse to drop your bike in the gravel, rossi made a pass in on it!

stoner- great googly moogly that guy is good, but be glad youre racing now and not in the 80's 90's... now THOSE were hard passes.

Lorenzo needs to stop highsiding. Seriously.

Race was amazing... then I had to download it and watch the eurosport feed so I could get the idiotic voices of the american announcers out of my damn head.

NOOOO SHIT! Dovisioso is the king of the sleepers... dude is like 4th or 5th in the championship and a fucking rookie... I think he's the highest of the Rooks this year...
