Edwards looking strong in pre-season...
|
perhaps finally he'll have the type of season that he should be capable of.
in both tests he's been looking consistently impressive. which could mean
he's hungry... or that rossi is simply not showing his entire set of cards
yet. stoner also showing very impressive improvement on the ducati.
hayden nearly a second behind edwards. roberts actually the best honda
rider.
all this pre-season stuff just has peripheral meaning, but the emerging
pattern is that the honda has problems.

I love this time of year - almost everything seems possible. Even the
satellite Ducatis are on the pace.
And, as I've a completely irrational but deep seated dislike of
Hondas, I don't mind them having a few problems.
|
i *so* share the sentiment. root for the underdog. team roberts all the way!
:-)
|
I wouldn't mind seeing Team KR get some good results this year. They did start to
get it together near the end of last year.

Geee, i thought i was the only one in the world!
Come pay day we know he will have it in the bag, and after last years
3 failures with Yamaha throwing it away for him. he deserves to win
it, and to think Nicky [who seems a nice guy] REALLY thinks he won it
fair and square..LOL
|
In that case Rossi's titles on the Honda only count as half-titles, too. I
agree that Honda has the huge budget and the corporate arrogance stuff going
on, but at the end of the team they're racing like anyone else, and their
riders don't have it *that* easy, even when Honda top honchos think they
could have anyone riding the bike and winning (whether it's an American or a
Spanish midget is just a market pleasing consideration for them).
