Well he has thrown it into the kitty litter a couple of times, and it broke down on occassion. Guess we have to go back to wet races where the Aus on the Suzuki wakes up or the time when Rossi was on a Honda 990.
Be nice to see if Nicky Hayden goes to Ducati next season and if so whether he can ride Stoner's bike.
Was an interesting interview with Colin Edwards in this weeks MCN, he recons that this year the Yamahas have been going better because Rossi was injured during the off season and he (Edwards) got a chance to develop the new bike. Not that he is superhuman but the opposite - being as he is just a damn good rider they had to get rid of the problems with the bike one by one, where as Rossi can develop a great bike, but as Edwards says, give him (Rossi) any shit and he will ride and win on it.
I am hoping Edwards will get a win under his belt in the second half of the season and Toseland gets a podium.
Was at Abadare Park for the Welsh National road races a couple of weekends back and one of the races saw the two best riders there pitched against each other on differing bikes. One on a Honda RS125 and the other on a Simoto 450 - which has I believe a Honda 450 single in there. They were well matched. Looking on the net for results Alex Hutchinson on the Simoto and Ian Lougher on the RS125 seem to swap paint work at regular intervals, so it looks like 450 singles would be a good replacement for the 125s
What is the betting we get something else...
