 | WTF??! - Honda team orders? sounds like a real classy move by Honda....NOT!!!  WTF ever happened to the best man/best bike winning?....I hate to see politics like this ruin the sport worse than it has already....I am sure this is not gonna go over well on a Honda board, but tactics like these are kinda shady in my eyes.... | |

| Re: WTF??! I think it's common in any form of racing that has teams, you just don't hear 'em admit it much. |

| Re: WTF??! Doesn't suprise me at all. You know Rossi is good when he makes HRC fret for their lives. After all, they didn't let him test the M1 before January (the mfr's are usually cool about this), Honda said Rossi couldn't ride the bike due to contractual obligations. The only reason they did that was to slow Rossi from learning the bike, they are scared  My guess is that whomever starts busting ass in GP this year from Honda will get a green light, and the other riders will get a yellow late in the season. |
