My 2p's worth.
Rossi rode the wheels off the Yamaha-because he can, he has the talent that no-one else seems to have at this level. But watch Honda give Max another 20BHP-because they can, by simply adjusting the ECU on the bike-Honda hate to lose, especially to the team who 'stole' their rider. There is a structure amongst the Japanese manufacturers that Honda is top and so they will have the best riders, and no other manufacturer will poach their riders-well Yamaha did-interesting times.
The overtake, close, but hey that's racing, no contact so no problem. I personally thought that the ban on Tamada was harsh-if they applied those rules to the 125 class they would have to execute Roberto Loccatelli!
, and about half of the others.
Bayliss-the bike is only 1 month old guys, and they are still setting it up, they got Capi's more dialled in for him but Troy was riding round BIG problems-it'll come good.
I think this will be the best GP season we have seen for a
very long time.
That was a lot for 2p-you get your money's worth with me!
