Pedrosa leaving ?

Remember the good old days when Pedrosas size was considered an unfair advantage?

 

I suppose if it was too light they could add a slug of lead under the motor or wherever it would best help performance.

 

Talk about optimistic. Lol

VDM would go before him

 

Pedrosa speaks. About the Honduh, not his career. http://www.sportrider.com/motogp-pedrosa-reveals-honda-rc213vs-issues?src=SOC&dom=fb

 

That advantage ended the moment he stepped off the 250 but people needed reasons to hate him.

 

2006 wasn't enough?

 

Do what? His size was and is still an advantage. Well, it would be if Honda has listened to its riders instead of its engineers.

 

The whole weight thing seems to have grown out of a need to explain Dani's performance vs Marc. If you look at his lap times from France, they aren't that far off from Marc. It's a Honda problem, not a Dani problem. The people saying he is going to have the "same" issue if he goes to Yamaha need a reason for Yamaha not to sign him. Pedrosa was the top Honda in France, the rest....... well they all proved just how bad the Honda is this year.

I hope Dani does go to Yamaha, he is still one of the fastest riders on the grid. Honda have lost their way and now Suppo wants to open up the engine rules. I like HRC but WTF were they doing last season? With all the money they have, it's crazy that they have this same issue that not only the two factory riders have been complaining about, but Stoner also said the same, and for three years running. Nakamoto is done this year I think(60YO), so monkeys all over the world will be rejoicing and maybe they can find their way again.

 

I hope Dani goes to Suzuki.

He won't but hope in one hand and shit in the other.

 

Aren't Honda who pushed for crazy fuel and engine allocation numbers/development freeze? They thought they could out design the other factories and crush them by making it difficult to get adequate power/reliability from their motors. It makes me lol when I think about that

 

I know they pushed for the fuel regs. Not sure about the others.

 

Eff that. He's too damn expensive.

 

And here everyone thought you'd be happy to have a rider that could put the Suzuki on the box legitimately.

 

Not if he is out on his ass he won't be.

 

Cheaper than Vindaloo.

 

The very young fast kid who's projected to be ridiculous on a good factory bike (sorry Zuki, you ain't that yet) vs Dani for what is also guestimated to be the same money... yeah, tough choice for Yamaha.

 

For sure. I just hope that whole podium thing doesn't get in the way of his going.

 

I'm sure Maverick has higher aspirations than 3rd place.

 

A checkered flag was a feat for him...

 

...on the Suzuki....
