The developments in the chassis could be movements toward the 800cc setup. Hell for all we know it might already have an 800cc motor in it

Are Spanish motorcycle sales greater than that of the US?

No, but Spanish money and interest in MotoGP are far higher than American.
Not to mention Spanish financial involvement in Honda in particular.

Frigging whiner and cry baby.

so there is an organised world conspiracy not to let N.H. to win the class

I highly disagree, not to mention that HRC is giving him crap or something to test and impove it for the good of the team. Things are simplier than some people tend to percieve them, Hayden is a great rider, but some guys over there are slightly faster.
Doohan said once about the awesome reasons Max Biaggi using to justify his past bad performance in the M1, I wonder (Doohan said) where he found that book of excuses

For the good of the team? Nobody else is having to use any of the crap Nicky is running. Nicky is faster on the bike Pedrosa runs.
HRC wants the title, but if they could get Pedrosa over Hayden they and Repsol would be ecstatic. It is FAR more complicated than you want to believe.
Everyone knows that politics are a huge part of MotoGP. to believe otherwise is pure idiocy.

I can appreciate how hard it is for both of them and all the others to do what they do

. But damned it, Pedrosa's personality is too dry. Kinda like eating sand

. On the other hand, Hayden is the popular kid, everybody likes him cause he knows how to make himself likeable.

Pedrosa should learn that from him.

In any case, a big round of applause to all riders. They make me remember my dreams every race.
