Hayden's clutch
|
Hey AUS,
The reason none of the other Honda riders complained of clutch problems is
|
Strange how the non-HRC Hondas often beat the HRC bikes
|
|
Do tell us, because you seem to keep changing your story
|
that NONE of them had the same clutch setup as Nicky.
|
So he wins the title on the '07 bike he developed for others, thus had a
whole year to develop it for himself, and yet now the '07 bike is a blatant
attempt by Honda to work against him? Fascinating twist.
|
The development RC211 last year was emphatically *not* the same as the
RC212 this year. Calling Hayden's last year's bike the 2007 bike just
confuses everything.
Honda chose to build a one off development bike last year to try and
break Rossi. If it didn't work, there was a more understood bike on the
other side of the garage. Hayden chose to ride it. Although there was
probably considerable pressure on him to do that. It may also well be
that Pedrosa chose *not* to ride it.
Funny to see the same Honda infighting happening all over again.
Melandri was led to believe he would get top equipment. Unsurprisingly,
Pedrosa-Hayden got a bunch of new engine parts for the Jerez test. And
equally unsurprisingly, Melandri didn't and was complaining about it.
I expect Hayden to really struggle this year. And I expect this group to
be all over it, claiming it's a Honda-Puig conspiracy not to give him a
bike he can ride.

nah, the mojority of the group will claim it is hands down the best bike
in the paddock and it proves the Nicky can;t ride worth a squat.

He rode the development bike all year, the rest of them were on the
"evolution" model.When the 2006 MotoGp issue of Pitwalk comes out you'll be
able to see how different they were. They were all called RC211V, but a name
is a name...
Why there was only one development Honda is understood, but it goes to point
out the pitfalls if something isn't correct...
It was amazing how long it took HRC to address the situation. It wasn't
until after Motegi that they did something worthwhile about it That was15
races into the season.
Whine all you want about the points Rossi lost, but all he had to do at
Valencia was finish close to Hayden.
In America it's called "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory"

I'd prefer good old "choking" :)
