Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

Quote What´s up racefans!?!?!?! I´ll fill you in later on the week I had at Melbourne if The Fatman hasn´t already. I´m at the hotel in Valencia at the moment just about to go for a golf game with Riders for health. Just wanted to fill you guys in that you will know something in the next day or 2 as to what I´m doing next year. (As if you don´t already know)

He is definitely riding on the V5 next year. Everything I've heard is that he'll be on the Telefonica bike, he might be on the Gressini team (sp?), either way he's back

Good for Colin, good for racing, and I hope he is in the top part of the pecking order - above Biaggi would be real nice.

Any 'official' word on Rossi, anyone?

Excellent! I see 2 americans in the top 5 next year! Edwards is soooo smooth, he'll get mad tv time next year! Welcome back TORNADO!

Assuming all the RC211V bikes will be the same next year, I think max, sete and hayden are IN FOR IT!

It's been over ten years since we've had two Americans to watch dicing for wins in the top GP class. It's about time to be seeing it again!

Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

Good for CEII. you guys are forgetting though, that bike is going be a little different from what he is accustom to. It may take him a little while to get back in the grove. I think maybe half a season before he actually stretched his legs.

Well thinking about it... he does have those first season jitters out of the way. Regardless i think it will be about 1/2 season before his is up in the pack.

Just my $.02

Welcome back to the fast bikes Colin,

Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

I don't think so. He is Michelin's #1 test rider, even before the Dr.. And don't forget he has ridden it already. When the RC211V came out, he was faster on it than Rossi himself

Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

I cant wait for the Tornado takeover! He has already proven he is going to be fast as the first test in Valencia has shown.(faster than Rossi's time) By the way can anyone tell me who is going to team with Max Biaggi since Ukawa is retired and who will team with Nicky at the Repsol team?

Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

Also what do you guys think about the WSBK now that everyone has pulled out with the exception of Ducati Fila who are under a contract with Fila, or else they would have left too.

Re: Colin's words on his move to Honda

Without doubt my fav rider to watch, he's smooth, real smooth just like Abe.
The tornado on a competitive bike oh yeah.
Honda didn't sign him up after WSB cause on the same machine as Rossi they couldn't afford their number one man to be number 2!
Oh yeah and he's half Aussie too!
