I bet Marco Melandri would have done no worse if he had the golden key to the executive bogs.

I think that you conveniently overlook Dani's string of titles through the smaller classes, which would have seen ANY leading factory want him as their Moto GP rider. I cannot accept anyone not recognising his amazing talent, albeit that fairing to fairing it seems is his achilles heel.

Me too

My theory is that Pedrosa was Honda Number 1 and the bike was built for him and him alone. And yet he will see Hayden and Stoner(probably)take the title on the same bike. Seems if Honda had Stoner they may have won another championship a little sooner. Pedrosa didnt deliver the title....others did. And that is the cold fact. He has had injuries and that is part of the game but so have others.

His lack of dogfighting is well known but he and Puig cant say nothing when Stoner is delivering the goods. His time has passed. Biaggi has a stronger record and he is in WSB and so is Melandri. Only as good as last race. Brno he crashed when leading and was very strong in practice. Stoner has had solid results all year except the Rossi incident.

I don't think Pedrosa's time is over he's hardly a spent force, I just wish he would open up a bit more Puig has trained him out of it. You have to remember that he was only 4 points back before Supersic took him out in Le Mans. I'd hardly call that a spent force. If he stays injury free he'll win the championship.

As for Max Biaggi he's in WSB because he's an complete and utter tit and he seemed to spend his time in Moto-GP slagging off all of the Japanese company's he represented. Remember he spent a year not riding because no one would touch him, he was a liability. That and the fact he was broken by Rossi, he played mind games and lost. It also must have really hurt him to watch Rossi take the bike he said wasn't good enough and win on it first time... Isn't it funny how Max has tried the same with Melandri in WSB and he's not really winning out in this one either.

My view is that Pedrosa is not going to win a motogp championship.

We shall see. Stoner will be unstoppable. If Casey plays it right he could win every championship until he gets bored of winning. We shall see about that too.

I'm not having a go at you here but Hayden's title still kinda irks me. One fact from that season says it all too me.Troy Bayliss lead for more laps in that season than Nicky Hayden and he only did 1 race.

I still think that if Sete Giveupnow hadn't taken out his team mate at the first turn in Spain I'm pretty sure Loris Capirossi would have been world champion. but hey ho thats what happens racing life isn't fair.

Gonna start have to record Moto2 I think.

[carelesschucca]

You really should, and the 125's the both races are way better than Moto-GP. I was on the edge of my seat for about 90% of the moto2 race.

I think this was the last year for pedrosa, i think he will alway be slightly off the pace next year due to the heavier bike and having to muscle it round a bit more.

I think Pedrosa will win next year, becuase he is a midget like me.
