I hope Dani finishes well next season.. somewhere in top 10 right after Stoner, Vale, Hayden, Jorge, Edwards..

I hope Repsol will never win another championship, and to hell with HRC and the 800cc GP bike they've designed and what they let Puig/Pedrosa get away with: I will not buy a Honda bike not until those two around.

I am going to write a letter to Honda, explaining why I will not buy another Honda bike, there probably enough people who feel the same way let them count how much business they've lost.

There will probably be enough bike mad Spaniards around buying Hondas because of Pedrosa that your letter won't make a bit of difference to them.

Every Repsol gas station mini mart in Spain has Pedrosa stuff for sale.  Hayden stuff?  Not so much.

Its not the size of the American consumer market that drives Honda to support a Spanish rider in MotoGP, it's the size of the MotoGP audience. There aren't many people here who have even heard of the sport in this country, and fewer still that can name more than two riders, and a minuscule portion that are even aware of the shenanigans between HRC and Hayden. The fact is that the decision helps them in Spain and has virtually no impact on the American market.

That might've been true up until Lorenzo showed up. Now the Spaniards have someone to root for who actually has a personality and some human-seeming talent. Heck, on the TV broadcast from Jerez it really seemed that Checa (a long-time crowd pleaser) was getting more cheers than Pedrobot was.

Sure the Spanish are nationalistic. Same as Americans - and look how quickly we forgot about KRJR as soon as Nicky came onto the horizon. Couldn't even put Junior on the T-shirts when MotoGP returned to Laguna. I'm still perturbed about that... but the point being that Junior actually won the world championship, and we forgot about him anyway. See how quickly the Spanish forget about Pedrosa.

I think the thing with KRJR vs Nicky was Nicky has a very approachable, down to earth, likable personality. KRJR seems rather distant. Nicky is the guy everyone likes, while KRJR... no one knew him.

I understand and agree with you completely. Although aside from the 250 championships, lollipops and HUGE highside at Laguna, I don't know much about Lorenzo.

If Puig and Pedrosa keep this up, they'll find themselves in the same boat as Biaggi.  Biaggi went looking for a ride, but nobody wanted to work with him because he blamed everything and everybody but himself.  If he doesn't get results for a couple of seasons he may find himself looking for a ride outside of motogp.

You would figure that Pedrosa wouldn't start any crap with Hayden knowing that Honda was giving their best stuff to Pedrosa.    Danni is just sour grapes cause Nicky won the 2006 Championship.

I'll say one thing, with the way that Stoner's Duc was outrunning Rossi, Pedrosa, & Lorenzo all season in the straights...  If Hayden doesn't do better this season it's not the bike but probably the rider. Lol

On a side note, I really wish Hopkins could at least get in the top 3 every once in a while.  He's such a likable little goofball.  My wife thinks he looks like fivel the mouse.
