 But I'm afraid you might be right. Dunno why, just a feeling I've gotten after reading about all the testing. I hope we're wrong and he kicks ass a lot. Is Honda not supporting him the way he needs them to? | |

 | Re: Jerez FP2 results - which mean exactly nothing Rossi OWNS Jerez. Should be a great race for second. The Ducatis could get a few podiums this year. I'd like to see Sete win a race or 2. |

| Re: Jerez FP2 results - which mean exactly nothing Gotta wait until they line up for the real deal. I would be willing to bet that Nicky will pick up where he left off last year. Check out all the testing they did in the off season and look at how many laps they all ran. Nicky consistently puts in more laps than anyone else. His biggest problem last year was not maintaining the lead pace... well and falling. |

| Re: Jerez FP2 results - which mean exactly nothing Nicky and his team have made the decision to go with the new bike package, even though it hasn't been the fastest version in testing. I expect they'll struggle this first round while they finish ironing things out on it. Then he'll get right back to the front few. |

How many times will Rossi win? How many times will Gravelplow crash? How many times will Colin change his riding style? Can Honda get the pixie dust this year? I mean, Pedrosa's pretty close to pixie stature himself, that's gotta help, right? |
