Rossi might be the best but Hayden is on top of the pack. Sorry fullzx12r.
How about Kawasaki finishing second? Nikano did a great job. Kawasaki has steadily moved up the grid. It was cool to see the green on the podium.

Great race. What a heartbreaker.
I've met Colin, and ridden with him. Really nice guy. So I'm prejudiced.
Usually his ace is too stay cool, no matter what, right?
Looks like he's getting it dialed in, I hope.
He won that race, start to finish. Didn't he?
We'll see.

i guess it is such a big deal to them that they don't settle for second position.
got a question, just curious how this moto gp do in qtr mile time and speed. i watched a video in 5th gear of jason botton honda f1 car vs. honda superbike, not gp and they were even up to hundred miles then f1 aero took over. wonder how the gp will compare to superbike.
p/s: i know they all have different setting on gears and sprocket etc...

I bet they would do 8's if you could get launched.
Does anyone know their weight? I think #300/450 w/rider approx?
I think 250rwhp is the published hp isn't it?
I'm pretty sure traction control is std/must have item.
I wonder if the Duc MGP/streetbike will have TC?
Bad ass. But not as bad as an F1. HP/weight + aeros. 1000hp/1250-1400 pounds w/driver/gas, last I heard?
I still don't see how the MotoGP's keep the front end down. I guess they are balanced to spin 1st , and they are nearly always spinning right?

Sounds right.
It's impossible to really launch I guess.
Needs straps/lowered/SA extensions/+2 front sprocket?
Would that blow the lid of the factory's $100mil race budget or what?

Don't right Rossi off yet......Remember how many points he won by last year and how many wins.... Hayden may podium but he has to beat Rossi every time...Can he do it? Rumor that Edwards will not be with Yamaha next year??? Jorge Lorenzo alias Chuppa Chup kid id rumored to be the one they are hunting for....

I would never write Rossi off, but he is in some deep doo doo right now. His broken hand will probably keep him from being competitive at Donnington and after that it's Laguna Seca. You know Hayden will be pumped for that! Rossi is 46 (ironic!) points behind Hayden. If Hayden just keeps on hitting the podium he will be in serious contention. As we all know however anything can happen.
Lets see Nakano put the Kawasaki on the top step at lest once this year!
