Strewth, I actually agree with that!

If you like, although I did actually retract my pro-Pedrosa comments in the "Rossi & Hayden" thread posted by doogalman on October 16th.

I was unaware BC, as I tend not to go over every post.

I'm quite happy to clash swords on a difference of opinion BC, but life is too short to make enemies over nowt.

Hardly enemies Jeff, I just happen to think you talk a lot of bollox a lot of the time. So it was nice to see something different for a change.

I'm not sure it's actually your fault though, it seems to be common to most of you Surrey guys, so maybe it's something they put in the water down there?

I've been searching all over for easy to read stats of the Podium positions for MotoGP.....turns out I've found a BRILLIANT one for almost every class...period:

However, whilst I'd much of preferred Loris to be wearing the No1 plate - Haydens consistency over the first two thirds of the season has been stunning......but let me guess - thats only because of 'Vale's misfortunes:

Enjoy!

Not to make the whole issue sound as if I'm some major Rossi fan;

But put into perspective the final placing of Loris, after what he has been through and I believe missed 1 race? lost points due to lack of fitness (more like should be in hospital), for the championship race to be that close, really says how well Loris did or how much Nicky under achieved, because he should have had more distance between him and Loris!

Sorry but I don't subscribe to the 'Rossi is God' school of thought either, I do however think he is the most talented rider out there currently-but thankfully there are some others coming through who will challenge him, just I don't think in a straight fight Nicky hayden is it. Danny Pedrosa will next year be more up for it-have you seen how small the 800 Honda is?-it actually makes pint sized Danny look normal. Casey Stoner is another one who will challenge IMHO, then there is Marco Mellandri, and of course not forgetting Loris-the 800's are much more to his size since he is another tiny guy, but he also has more than 16 years of GP experience. According to both Loris and Vale the 800 bikes will suit the ex 250 riders down to the ground being basically bigger more powerful 250's-it will be interesting to see how riders like Nicky cope with them since he is an (ex) Superbike rider not a GP250 rider.
I have been chatting to John Hackett today and he says the 800 Sedici revs to 20,000!!!-bring on 2007!
