I don't know if Rossi is getting special super-hard stones, he might have to run off the shelf tires.
Colin will come roaring from ahead to finish 12th...... Don't get me wrong, I am a fan, but damn. His GP results speak for themselves.
i'm not going to say it will happen, but i hope that it does. i used to root for him to win, now i root for him to lose.

I am with Chad. I was a fan but I think his ego has gotten to big. Typically that doesn't' bother me but in his case it effects the sport. It may not be 100% his fault but the constant whining about why he got his ass royally handed to him last year started to effect how Dorna was going to run the series. He thinks it was electronics, he thinks it was tires, he thinks it was Yammi...............I think he just got his ass kicked. Deal with it, work harder and come back next year.
his whining about equipment, and then when he did his best to try and get a single tire rule in place. it was fine when he was on the best tire and the BStone riders were suffering, but one season of having the tables turned makes him completely change his tune. even Burgess wanted to stay with Michelin, as you dont abandon a long term working relationship after one bad season.
Rossi is acting the same way that Jeremy McGrath does now. I'm a huge McGrath fan but listening to him speak the last couple years, he seems jaded towards not being the King anymore.
When Edwards was Rossi's teammate, was his role more to be a support rider for Rossi (i.e. testing parts and settings that were based on Rossi's setup) or was he developing his own settings? I get the feeling that he is a little relieved to be going in his own direction with the bike, but nothing has been printed confirming that.....
