three to go for rossi to try and take it.. whats everyone thoughts on the up and coming tracks.. history with rossi and hayden on these tracks and any other inputs.. what does everyone think?

NO!

[CBRVFR]

Rossi is truly one of the greats. But he can't catch Nicky this year.

[ND4SPD]

That pass at PI was ballsy on his part, hopefully he won't do anything else of that caliber(or worse) and endanger fellow racers in the heat of the battle. If he does, I hope Dorna grows a set and deals with him accordingly.

[deez]

I wouldn't doubt the guy, ever. But having said that all it is going to take is one of them going down for whatever reason, and it's game over. End of the season is going to be awesome! 21 points is still a decent lead this late in the season. Hayden only has to finish on the podium (doesn't have to win at all) at every race and he could have it. It's a flip of the coin really.

[ccwilli3]

I agree. Pressure honestly is on rossi. He has to win every race and hope nicky ****s up. With 21 points, the gap is 9 points from 1st to 3rd (25 points versus 16, right?). If rossi wins all three (doubtful, I think loris will take motegi), nicky can't get just 3rds... that would be a 27 point loss...

I need to put a new hex on Rossi......... the old one seems to be wearing off a tad

[BIGSAPOTEER]

Nicky all the wayyyy!!!! I'm making it offical, I'm putting a curse on Rossi as of today . He will have a DNF (mechanical) in 1 of the races. He is not the only one who can put curses on people. Nicky will have (2) 2nd places and (1) 3rd. I made a with a "miracle worker".

[FrenchieR6]

I like to see Nicky go all the way.

The fact that he's riding a Honda is also a part of it for many here but I personally think he's one of the most hard working young racers today with about the best attitude of the bunch.

The Euro press has also pissed all over Hayden. The announcers to the races have also...

As an AMA champion and longtime racer, many of us feel like we know Hayden more than the other guys, and he has a great personality.

And of course, yes, he's an American. We know CEII is a loser, we have to root for someone else.

What?!?! You can't be talking about Colin Edwards! Can you? I'm guessing you are saying this because you...

1. ...don't know what you're talking about
2. ...think just because he hasn't won yet doesn't mean ****...how long did it take for Hayden to win?
3. ...think you can ride a bike


Just because he isn't a contender for the Championship doesn't mean he's a loser! Sorry...that was a little harsh on your part. When you beat him you have the right to say that. Until then....


As for the main point of this entire thread. Never count Rossi out. DO NOT doubt him. I mean how many times has he proved everyone wrong? As for Nicky, on the Honda of course, he HAS to win it this year. Rossi took the title away from an American(Roberts) and Nicky is the American to take it back.

Dani Pedrosa is going to be amazing. He's already proved that this year. I'm not so sure Nicky is going to be able to fight all the top dogs and him off as well

Man, you stepped in a pile right there..


Colin has obviously been a talented rider, and his WSBK battles are legendary. But if you have watched motorsports carefully, you tend to notice that series champions that are able to maintain the fire in their bellies after losing touch with the podium for a while are very rare. This is called "Jacque Villeneuve Disease," not to be confused with the "Juan Pablo Shuffle,"

Colin seems to have it pretty bad. He whines and finds excuses for his lack of results that seem to satisfy him. The best thing he can do is go back to superbikes and try to rekindle the flame. Or go home and spend his millions.


Rossi, DuHamel, Mladin, Capirossi, Scumacher are among those apparently immune to this.

And Hayden's emotional outburst at getting screwed out of critical championship points isn't the same thing, by a long shot.

It's part of our culture, like bumping the umpire. I remember Michael Jordan used to do it after he'd get hammered under the basket when he came to Detroit. Eventually, of course, he never had a call go against him in an important game.

You've got to be kidding. What about McCoy? Everybody seems to think he's still hot **** when all he does is crash or podium(Which is rare). Seems to be takin some notes from Biaggi(who went to WSBK cuz it's the last place he can win...F1 didn't turn out so well did it)

The point you didn't answer is how long did it take for Hayden to win a race? **** it took him til his 3rd year in GP and then won at Laguna Seca . You can't really count that cuz he owns that track. His first win was this year! OOOOhhhh the Almighty Nicky is a much better american racer than Edwards just cuz he won a race more than him.-Okay I was being an A-hole. It's not like I'm saying Kurtis Roberts is a great MotoGP racer, k?


Not to mention the damn age gap between them. **** Colin's almost a decade older than Nicky(well not really...7yrs or so). I say ya can't count him out because he just finished in the Points what was it 35 times in a row? **** man that's still good, admit it. and he whines? BS he's got the same if not better attitude about the whole thing than Nicky. He's got a great sense of humor about it all. Not to mention what bikes they are on, cuz you should know that.

[Valekeyes46]

Nicky's first actual win(excluding Laguna of course) was at Assen this year! With a shady ending between the both of them. I'm not saying Edwards is better than Hayden. I actually never did say that. What I am saying is He's not a damn "Loser" He's the second best American racer out there. Who gives a **** if he's on a yamaha.


Oh yeah back to the point. Hayden must win. It's his only chance

[CBRVFR]

Correct me if I'm wrong..I don't actually remember Edwards EVER winning a race in MotoGP. And he can be said to OWN Laguna every bit as much as Hayden.

I actually like Edwards, but his culture of whining and being comfortable in his excuses for not being competitive in this series seems to have attracted a following of like-minded individuals.


OK, BDA, he's all yours. I tried..

Holy crap... LTL did you use a spinner or a spoon?

[Valekeyes46]

My point, again, it takes time. He's movin up the grid just like Hayden did. Well...it doesn't help we got all these new guys in the pack either. Them 250 guys are pretty fast.

I don't know him to whine any more than any other rider. Every time I think of that word I think of Eric Bostrom or Max Biaggi.

I'm done cloggin your blog. Just was pissed luvtolean called Colin a loser. I guess that makes 75% of the MotoGP grid a bunch of Losers. Wow. I thought most of them were Champions of some sort. You're right they're all losers. Maybe we should invite em all to a track day.(The Losers of course. Hayden and Rossi can't come)
