Is this the guy who rode Petronas bike a few years back?

[Big Chief]

For me, all Honda riders are best.
Spencer
Doohan
Gardner
Rainey
Rossi (Liked him only before he joined Yamaha - That guy not loyal.
Pedrosa

[Jim.Loi]

Is this the guy who rode Petronas bike a few years back?
No lah bro..he's already paralysed..can't ride anymore....you might be referring to Carl Fogarty..runs petronas outfit for WSB..diferrent from MotoGP....:p

[Jim.Loi]

Should add Eddie Lawson who defected to Honda after Spencer left HRC....

[andrewjpan]

Wayne Rainey - the man who invented the powerslide

NOPE...not even malysian made..Modenas only sponsor the racing with Proton..engine a failure..somemore developed in England by F1 team...last year they got ditched by KTM engine supplier..can't even compete in the last two races..what a scandal....:o

Good. As long as Rossi doesn't dominate. Too boring last year.

[Jim.Loi]

This year gonna be real good for MotoGp..new faces from 250cc move to MotoGp..real challenge for Rossi..maybe..he is no longer interested..He has try out for Ferrari recently and put to shame David Coulthard and Mark Weber...brilliant...:amused:

[Big Chief]

Nuthin to do with his Bike..It is his Ego and Stardom at risk..and also his last year on Yamaha Machine..he might migrate over to F1 after this...Conclusion might be Loss of Focus This year...:huh:

[Voon Chan]

I tot he said that moving to F1 is too big of a risk to him cause he is the best in Moto GP

[Jim.Loi]

[Big Chief]

250 - Honda 1,2,3
Moto GP - ? Honda again???

I completely agree with you doc.
And his money and women...... too obscene
So it is time to suffer like Schumacher last year...make him realize he is not the ultimate in MOTOGP......hope he is more humble finally....:rolleyes:

[Voon Chan]

Rossi won last night

[Jim.Loi]

[Big Chief]

Did you guys see Shumacher riding pillion with Randy Mamola in a Ducati?
Those stunts were great. Wheeleys, Knee Scrapes and Bunny Hops.

[Jim.Loi]

Honda Dominates for the last two races...Nicky Hayden for the last race and now Dani Pedrosa for this week races...Poor Rossi, not only suffers physical injuries but also a bruised(badly) Ego.....:h:
