Stacey is such a *****. He moaned his little head off at the battle with Rossi at Laguna, and there was zero contact.
What a hypocrit.
That's some track invasion!
He just 'ran into' Bautista.
Not on.
I think Ducati are finally looking competitive... Then again there are only 10ish people racing non CRT machines...
it would be nice to think so but its just because its ducat's test track so it faltered them alittle
he was world superbike champ and has won a motogp race
sadly this year he hasn't clicked with the new 1000cc bike yet
to be honest dovi doesn't have anywhere to go but stay at tech3, Yamaha have already said there ready to resign spies..
its not about the money for cal he wants a works bike.
the problem with staying with tech3 is he will not get a 2013 bike he will have this years work yamaha in the spec it finishes this year in, just like he did in the 800cc year.
the main reason for this years good show by tech 3 is the new 1000cc rule change meant everyone had to have new bikes, so at the begaining of this year tech3's bike was the same as the full works bike, as the year goes on the works team get updates so slowly start to change.. come next year tech 3 will be a year behind again as in the 800cc years
Casey on Bautista: "I'm sorry for the incident with Álvaro, I went to make the pass into turn 2 and he started to close my front off and I couldn't do anything."
Casey on Bautista: "I'm sorry for the incident with Álvaro, I went to make a lunge into turn 2 and he started to close my front off because i was so far back he couldn't see me and I couldn't do anything."
The problem at Tech 3 is that Bradley Smith has a deal for motoGp next year at tech 3! Dovi might get into a satelite Honda squad but Dovi, Cal AND bradley just won't go! it's possible that yamaha might promise some works support to tech 3 for Cal or Dovi to stay, expecially as they're both getting great points for the constructors. it's a difficult situation.
As for Casey and Petrucci there wasn't much Petrucci could do. The honda was so much faster but he's got his own runs to do. Casey should have just taken it on the chin and got on with it.
Anyone else think Bradders isn't ready? He's not had a podium in Moto2, Redding has had a couple. There are plenty from Moto2 who should be moving up instead of him.
I can't see Rossi back on a Yamaha personally although it would be good to see how he compares to Lorenzo now he has matured. I remember the quote Stacey made when Rossi broke his leg "We're all crashing trying to catch Lorenzo".
It seems like one big game of chicken, as soon as one person makes a move the rest will seemingly fall into place. Dovi has said he will leave if he doesn't get a factory ride next year http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/dovizioso-threatens-quit-motogp-124046504.html
