I just hope Suzuki finally gets that thing right this year, or better than the last several years, I feel sorry for Hopper and even that dick Kenny, so many HP down, they don't even have a chance.

Rossi
Hayden
Capirossi
Biaggi
Gibernau

This should give us lots of laughs later on in the season.

Gotta agree here as of right now.. I think Hayden can pull it together a bit better this year. And I don't think any of them can take the crown from Rossi; he's just too damn good.

Keep an eye on Tamada, he is the dark horse this year

Red Rider · 02-22-2005, 11:09 PM

Rossi
Gibernau
Hayden
Beotchi
...and the Tornado

So when Nicky finishes 3-6 on a consistent basis and not finishing others, he's running in the back of the pack. When Johnny finishes 3 of the last 5 races and finishes 12, 15 and 8 (out of 13), he's smoking ass?

More like sucking ass.
Very amusing how different standards are used for different riders.
Personally, I'd love to see the year finish off Hayden, Edwards, Jr. and Hopkins, but it ain't gonna happen.
Hopkins is only there because the single most biased idiot in racing likes him and sucked someone's dick.
Hayden has one bad year and everyone is questioning his abilities and place. Hopkins can't get out of his own way on a good day, and he's earned his keep.

Rossi will win the first five races, get bored, and piss off to "develop" a Formula 1 car.

Biaggi will win the next three, and try to elbow Colin off the track while attempting to get his fourth in a row.

They will never be able to get the new HRC supersecret fork tubes out of his ass before they decide to bury him standing up. The funeral director will be unsure whether or not to inter him 'because of the chatter.'

His will be the best attended funeral in motogp history.. not because anyone liked him, but because everyone paid big euros for the privelege of shovelling dirt on his head.

Tamada and Nakano will take second and third, behind Reuben Xaus. But this will be at in a line for the loo in a Thai restaurant in Brno.

The crystal is fading now.......f a d i n g

He was very fast in the last 4 or 5 races of the season. Doing it on a HP deficient machine. Many of the people I respect, write good things about Hopper, ex. being Noyes, so you can say what you want. If he was on the RCV and finishing Hayden style, I'd say he didn't deserve the ride either. That damn Suzuki is way down on power, where 5 hp makes all the difference in the world, 25 HP down, damn, him and Jr. are lucky to finish in the top 10.
6-7 hondas, 4 yams, and 2 ducks all are better bikes.

1. Rossi
2. Edwards
3. Mullet
4. Hayden
5. Biatchi

Edwards #2 for wishful thinking.

Hayden in front of Biatchi due to mid-season melt-down of Biatchi because HRC are STILL giving Hayden the newest spec.

Mullet will probably go to #2, but I see CE and Hayden having it out neck & neck, wherever they land in the race results.

CE can say it's all good all he wants, he ENJOYS placing in front of Hayden, I'm sure.

Biatchi will probably take out CE and Hayden at least once each during the season, because he's a bitch.

He's already taken Hayden out once in 2005....

Actually Biaggi admitted in an interview on MotoGP.com that it was his own fault.

Actually I didn't read anything about it on CE site so.....

But I did read that the R1 is all conquering....so maybe you should head over there.

I check his site all the time. The level of hype and worshipping is hillarious.
It is extra amusing when Colin says anything and everyone there takes it as the total undeniable truth.

Yeah, I'm just a reader as well. I really like Colin and would like to see him succeed. I still remember watching him winning the 250 title here, and on the Vance&Hines Yamaha running very fast when not crashing, talking to him in the pits thinking he was a good guy, but the hype surrounding him today makes it hard to root for him over other equally talented Americans.

I agree some of them are a bit "star struck", but I have to say that imho the hype around Hayden has been much more and unwarranted...... I do have to say that Colin is one of the most down to earth guys out there though. Very personable and easy to chat with. Met him at one of J Pridmores STAR schools and chatted a bit.

Pridmore is another good guy. Would love to see him do great this year here in the US. Heck, met him once at his STAR school and the next year at Laguna looked him up in the pits and right away when he seen me, he recognized me from out at Pahrump.

As Baketech would say "Catch and release"

You could see that from far, far away too

nedro · 02-23-2005, 3:05 PM

I think the reason there is so much hype with Hayden is because after all of the flag waving, pomp, and circumstance. Experts around the world recognize him, as the US's best hopeful in the upcoming future. I think that is the biggest reason Hayden doesn't seem to take the flack that CE or MB takes all of the time. That and Hayden simply does not whine. You'd be amazed how well that works in the corporate world.
