killmach Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) If you watched the build up to last weekend's german motogp, you will have seen the piece on Rossi's pit board man and pitboard. They revieled that they put a pic. of a fox on the pitboard to warn rossi of a certain other rider's presence or threat, but they wouldn't reviel who it was. I rekon it's Stoner, but it could be anyone of a number of rider's, who do you rekon and why ? Edited July 15, 2008 by killmach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Danny crashed, so its not him and Stoner was infront so I doubt it was him either, that only leaves Lorenzo who he definately wants to beat just for being his team mate and also because he doesn't like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I still think its Lorenzo, he knows hes got to beat Stoner and Danny whatever happens if he wants to win the championship, but Lorenzo's not really close enough anymore, but he wants to beat Lorenzo just cause he dislikes him.

DutchMick Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I got the impression that it was someone following him during the qualies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evs7 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 yeah it's not for a particular rider, it's for a number of riders who Rossi believes could become more of a threat if they follow and get to know his braking markers, lines, etc...I believe it changes from track to track which is why Rossi mentioned that he had his word about a rider following him who they didn't think Rossi would deem a threat.I know you have to be on edge these days and any advantage you can gain over your rivals is a handy one, however I reckon alot of those guys brake within half a metre of each other anyway, so I think the top guys should worry less about who's behind them and more about riding.Hopefully Hayden can give Stoner more of a run for his money as a team mate next year. I reckon Hayden on a powerful bike will be back up the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchMick Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 HANG ON!!!!!! I must have missed that, has Hayden got the Ducati under him next year? That could be fun really, more his style, hanging it out and it looks bigger than the Honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evs7 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 nothing confirmed, there were/are rumours, but neither Hayden/Honda/Ducati will confirm anything yet.If you listen to Eurosport they seem to think Dovi on the Honda next year is almost a done deal leaving Hayden looking for a new ride and the rumours point to Ducati.I hope for Nicky's sake it happens cause like you DutchMick, I think the Ducati will suit Nicky's style, and he's a nice lad, deserves some luck after the 2007 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hayden's on his way out of Motogp, he just ain't good enough. He might get a ride next year but I think his results will be disappointing again. I think he only won the other year because of Rossi having such bad luck and because there wasn't as many good new riders as there is now.

DutchMick Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 In 2006 Hayden led for less laps in 17 races than Troy Bayliss in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evs7 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 You've got to be in it to win it. Hayden was consistantly on the podium.I think even Hayden admits he had some luck, but don't they all. Hayden is a quick rider and I'll beat on the Ducati he'll get some more podiums/wins and probably if Ducati keep making good bikes, another shot at the championship.Hayden will be the only American champ out of the current batch I think, Hopper maybe could have been but Kawasaki looks like they are going backwards with bike development sadly Hopper needs to jump on a Honda or Yamaha.Who knows what Spies can do?
