Don't get me wrong, I give them all lots of credit, there's no way I'd ever be out there dicing with them! :rolleyes:

Let's face it, at that level it's not a matter of who's good or not, it's a matter of who's good, who's great, who's a master, and who's a guru... if ya know what I mean.

It's also a matter of who has the best team and can communicate with them well, like the Burgess/Rossi and Burgess/Doohan combinations. I know Rossi would've done well without Burgess (he didn't have him in 125's or 250's) but would he have been as dominant? And would he have won straight out on the Yamaha?

But it's all theoretical... at the moment I just say bring on next year :D
 
So, season done and dusted, and first prep for next year done and dusted.

Should shape up for an interesting year!

Stoner fastest on the Honda, followed by Lorenzo then Spies.

Rossi 15th on the Ducati, but I don't think that means much at the moment.

Looks like they're opting for the "big bang" motor though as opposed to the "screamer", so I'm guessing Rossi is looking at how the cross plank motor on the Yammie made the grip a little easier to come by. I'm sure there's about 1000 other reasons they're making that choice too that I have no clue about...
 
I'm splitting hairs but Lorenzo's time from Tuesday was the fastest of the two days test, not Stoner's. It just makes a better headline in the media that Stoner was quickest, I guess. :-)

Ducati gotta get the front end sorted. Hopefully they will listen to Vale. I think in Stoner last year there was a tendency not to trust his feedback because he rides around anything. Scary fast, he is.

I cannot wait until Feb. That is just too far away. It's going to be a long winter!

Indeed he was! I didn't compare the two days together, but noted Lorenzo was quickest on day one, so Stoner's still second quickest which ain't bad for swapping brands.

I know what you're saying about Stoner riding around anything. When he first got on that Duc he was scary indeed! Bucking and weaving and he just held that throttle open, and man was he quick!

Rossi always takes a much different approach which is why he seems to fall off less I guess, but I can't wait to see what he and Burgess and the team can do with the Duc.

I can't wait for February either... should be much more exciting than this year!
 
Love GP. Great fan of Rossi and Yamaha and his crew. He's a legend. My big question about Suzuki all these years is how they can do so well at other venues like AMA and never amount to any type of competition in GP. With the number of cars and street bikes they sell you would think they would be more in the game than Yamaha.

Without a doubt, the combination of Rossi & Burgess should resolve the handling problems that have plagued the Ducati, it will be an interesting season to say the least!
 
I really think Stoner is going to run away with it in 2011. I hope he doesn't but I think he will.
