it will be interesting for sure.
As far as championship goes, even MM crashes out, Dovi must come in 1st to be the champ.
a lot of pressure on Dovi.
Jorge's salary partially justified (MGP race)

I'm pretty sure if the weather stays dry, a lot of riders are going to give MM the Run of his life. Will be exciting to watch.

"have to disagree with you on that. rossi and more importantly burgess said they can fix the ducati in 30 seconds till rossi got on stoners bike after valencia and was 3 seconds slower then stoner."
Dude, honestly this is the 3rd time I have corrected you on your absolute crazy stats...
November 11, 2010 - Valenica post session testing:
Rossi fastest lap 1'33.761
November 06, 2010 - Qualifying Practice - qualifying set-up, all out
Stoner pole lap: 1'31.799
That is slightly less than 2 seconds a lap faster.. and more importantly it is a guy on a brand new bike riding it for the first time against an extremely talented riders pole lap after a weekend of setup on qualifying tires.
I'm sorry, but your stats are ....... wrong.
Let's move on to race day.
November 7, 2010
Warmup practice:
Casey Stoner: 1'33.247
Slightly more than a half second faster... hmmm reality setting in yet on your ........?
And finally the race:
Fastest lap:
Casey Stoner: 1'33.018
Dani Pedrosa (fastest total) 1'29.914
So, while you repeatedly the made up number of 3 seconds, you have to compare a qualifying lap to practice to arrive at a difference of under 2 seconds. In practice, Stoner managed 1 lap that was .5 seconds faster than Rossi's, and in the race, he was .7 seconds faster in the draft..
These are the facts, period..

1i was being general and used an average not rossi fastest 1 lap but it doesnt really matter he fixed nothing doomed ducati for a few years and continued his losing.
2 stoner is the all time winningest (if thats a word) rider in ducati history rossi was a schlep on the ducati did absolutly 0 for them except set them back.
i believe rossi after the first test was 16th or 14 the fastest and basically gave up. he was barely faster than nicky for 2 years. a constant 7th or there abouts. 0 wins 0 titles i will say one thing the guy is consistant avg 1 win a year and 0 titles 8 years and running. those are the facts
so rossi had a fast lap and cut it to a second and a half or whatever big deal. 0 wins 0 titles at ducati AND 1 race win a year for an avg 8 years.

You mean like he did and was penalised for in Sepang 2 years ago? That's some vindictive, self entitled ....... Claiming others don't race to win because of their pace on hard tires with sub optimal temps after 5 laps? I should start selling tin foil hats in Tavullia...

dont you know turbo that the title was granted to VR in 2015 like hillary was granted the presidency
but sometimes things just dont work out. again rossi was not capable of stringing together a bunch of race wins to make valencia unnecessary. the guy that put it together was JLO. rossi new this was going to happen and knew he was done after JLO won 4 in a row, thats why the stories of MM helping JLO on a race where MM won and actually hurt JLO started from the rossi camp specifically UCCIO. again nothing was ever said about his buddy 29 probably costing him because that didnt fit the narrative.not only did MM hurt JLO by winning Iaonne compounded the issue by beating rossi.
