Considering the short time on the M1, he is already knipping at the heels of RC211V testing times by Biaatchi, Edwards, and Hayden. He is tenths of a second behind instead of a second or more. With only a few tests riding the Yamahumper, it's amazing on what he and Burgess can do together. Testing is just testing but it does look good for Mr. Rossi. I can't wait until the irta tests. 5 weeks until the 1st race in South Africa. Irta tests at the end of this month.

Bah! Rossi claimed he wanted a challenge for this coming MotoGP season, so he moves to Yamaha. He should have offered to ride for Harley-Davidson. Oh, wait! They don't compete in real racing any more. Well, then, how about Aprilia?

Considering what bike he left, yeah it's a challenge. Honda has dominated the last 3 years. RC211V has won 29 out of 32 races since it was introduced.

I'd have to say the nsr did it's fair share of dominating as well. these last 3 yrs have been a supreme ass kicking really. It's embarrasing.

Rossi is amazing. I thought it was the bike that made the rider, but i guess its the man. can't wait for the first race. just so he beats max, thats all I Ask

Can't ask for more than that, oldgoat.

I'm rooting for the best rider to win, and since that's Rossi (hey, anybody care to argue?) I'm prepared to divide my loyalties between Honda (you go, guys) and [shock! horror!] Yamaha this year. Oh, what a fine season of racing it promises to be.
