    and they are saying Honder wants Dovi back. I guess they aren't all that pissed at him anymore?

    No kidding? :crackup:

    Does Dovi want to play second fiddle to Marquez? Isn't HRC grooming Marquez 2 for repsol as well?

    Hey man, I don't know. Maybe they just want to buy up all the good toys so no one else can play with them.

    and Marquez 2 hasn't been setting the world alight. He'll be moved up at some point but I don't think it'll be to repsol right away.

    I don't think that honder was ever upset at Dovi. I think that repsol forced their hand and only wanted dani and marquez on the factory team, so Dovi was the odd man out. He didn't create waves on the team and just went about his business, much as he's doing at Ducati.

    Robin Scudder, local historian, bravo sir.

    That wiki is a good read. I'd heard of him (Middleton is a fan I believe) but didn't know he was that good.

    Lorenzo yea yea yea, bla bla bla.....I wish he would just shut up and ride. He wrote a book????

    Don't remember what year, but it was LeMans.

    JL wins. Pulls out at La Chapelle. Grabs a handy garden chair and a bucket of pop corn and sits down to watch the action on the big screen.

    That one made me larf.


    It must have been someone else's suggestion....

    Bringing Uccios back to Earth is pretty constructive. :D

    Even when they have to occasionally crash land...

    Way I recall is that it was Dovi's management who got the contract to guarantee a factory Repsol team seat if he finished in the top 5. Honda didn't think he could, but he did. The contract forced them to form a 3 bike team, even though they planned a 2 bike team that year(2011). Dovi was offered a satellite team deal at the end of the year, despite being 3rd in the championship.
