That Rossi's unreal!! Feel sorry for everyone else in Moto GP again. That flippin Rossi went almost as fast as the quickest Honda in testing 2/10 off thats all and blew all other Yamaha guys times into the weeds! He must be good! I wonder how he could do on that ZZR Ninja GP machine then??!!? Is it the rider that makes such a huge difference in that sport! Unlike the cars?

Yah, after he conquers this challenge (winning with the Yamaha) he can move on to a bigger one, like winning with the Kawasaki! ____________

Possible.... You know swft, that little bastard could probably do it!!! He is an awesome rider, but he did need a challenge. When he made up that 10 sec. penalty, then stretched a few more seconds to win (? which race) last year I was astonished. He rode the wheels off that Honda that day.
He's only been on the M1 a few days and he's right there with the second fastest Honda riders lap times. (Sete Gibernau) I feel it is safe to say that they will work on that Yamaha and give him what he needs to win. It may be a tall order to win a championship this year, but I bet some race wins are not far off. That guy is good, which I know is an understatement.
I honestly felt like it'd take awhile to get the Yamaha up to speed. But Rossi's talent was the shot in the arm that the M1 needed I guess. Rossi said that more work was needed on the engine, so I guess he needs a little more BHP to get the job done. MotoGp is going to be AWESOME this year fellas!

Yep, should be a great year! Just wish it was somewhere other than the NASCAR channel to watch it...
