andyfr1968 772 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 rossi, should have his work cut out a ducatti, should be interesting, just back from a 200mile mile trip around the coast.... hope you guys got out for a burn... Snap. A lot of good riders have tried to sort the Ducati out, and failed, if Rossi fails, then it wants scrapping for an inline four I think most riders have struggled with the Duke 'cos it was built around Stoner and his rather odd rideing style. All of his team mates and the satalite teams have been trying to make someone else's bike work for them. It won't be like that for Rossi. The Italians want an Italian rider on their bike to be number one, big time. They'll go 110% to give Rossi the bike he needs and Stoner will find himself out on a limb IMO... I thought Stoner was going to Honda, and taking Pedrosa's ride, I may be wrong? You're right, Stealthy, I'd forgotten about that. Hang on, isn't Pedrosa staying with Honda and Dovie's jobless? There's so many different stories going round just now!!! I think most of the riders are just dipping their nets in the water to see what happens Yeah, guess so... I'd like to see Randy DP (....that sounds wrong!!!) on a works bike. He's got some proper talent, that lad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean. The folks who ride the TT have a massive amount of respect from me. However on a road circuit, the rider's don't and can't push as hard as they can on a closed circuit. The danger's just too high. The only times you'll see a road racer backing a bike consistantly into a corner or drifting the back end out is when they've over-cooked it..... I'm not takeing anything away from the road racers, I'm just saying that they can't push their bikes to the same extent. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,961 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 when rossi was on isle of man last yr he said he wouldnt do it, his lap off honour was enough, as for not takin the bikes to the limit you aint seen them down bray hill or through ballacrye UNREAL, every senario imaginable over 37 plus miles short circuit stuff to flyin through villages stone walls everywhere then up the mountain then takin into account the weather from strong winds up through the mountain to damp patches under trees then perfect conditions in other places all on 1 lap, thats why i consider its the ultimate to man and machine compared to going round a circuit UNIQUE. As for Milky Quayle he faced the ultimate challenge head on {literally!} who is to say on the right machine he wouldnt of be a success, but only financially would the circuit beat the mountain challenge !

I know what you mean, mate. Most (all??) of the top end circuit riders since Sheene have shunned the TT 'cos of the danger. I've been to the TT and seen both sides of the raceing. I used to work for Padgett's in the mid 90's... Edited August 16, 2010 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
