Post by: Jester on October 22, 2009, 09:58:09 AM Since we're on the Malaysian round.... those of you who have access to the 2006 Malaysian GP, go back and watch it again. That has to be one of Rossi's top five races. He and Loris pass each other back and forth like madmen. Its a fun one to watch.

Post by: Jester on October 23, 2009, 05:22:40 AM Rossi probably would have cracked a 2:02.5 if DeAngelis hadn't of fubared one of his late hot laps on the final turn. Rossi wasn't too pleased about that and I don't think is quite as far off the pace as the times show.

Post by: ZLTFUL on October 23, 2009, 08:30:53 AM What's the deal with Hayden? Seems like all of the recent FP1s he makes a respectable showing then goes downhill from there...Good FP1, worse in FP2, lower mid pack in QP, way off the pace in WU and then speared off the track in the race...

What like early warning radar with anti 'dumb-ass about to punt you off the track' missles? Why don't they just take the target off the back of his head [cheeky].

Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!) Post by: duccarlos on October 24, 2009, 11:34:05 PM Goes to show how well he rides when he's feeling 100%
Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!) Post by: Jester on October 25, 2009, 12:15:39 AM Well number 9 for Rossi. As a diehard fan of his over the years, I have to contemplate if he has another one in him. We have three current riders entering their primes as GP racers ( Stoner / Lorenzo / Pedrosa ) and a big crop of new talent joining the grid next year. I don't think Rossi is anywhere near slowing down, but I think the amount of 1st class riders in the class will make a 10th an extroidinary achievement. Whatever the outcome, 2010 is going to be incredible if these guys stay healthy.
I think that the level of competition might spur Rossi to stick around 2-3 more years before he calls it a career. Italian press or not, I think we could all see him riding into the sunset on Ducati in 2011 and 2012. The final stop and last challenge to build a Ducati that everyone can ride, not just the Aussie. History is a fun thing to experience. Enjoy the man while he's still here. Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!)

Next year is going to be unreal. Now there are the young bucks at the front who are running a whole other race than those after 5th place. The young bucks at the front are crashing less and making better decisions. Something Rossi has had on them by a wide wide margin. Next year there will be some real rock star talent joining. Spies is going to be very fun to watch. Who knows what he will do but he doesn't come across like the 21 year old wet behind the ears rockets that joined in 06. + and the biggest + is that Stoner has come into his own in a more balanced way. Rossi's voodoo isn't going to have the same effect I predict. Stoner seems to be over it. And he's clearly able to throw it back in his face. I'll guess the playing it safe thing for Rossi is done now. Next race will be a good one. I hope next year too. Well number 9 for Rossi.

Next race will be a good one. +1 Rossi doesn't like Valencia much, but I think he'll push as hard as he can there to secure a top three result. He needs 3rd or better to crack 300pts and I know its important to him. Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!)

Post by: Jester on October 25, 2009, 02:31:29 PM What's up with the chicken? ??? The are essentially calling Rossi an "old hen." Rossi saying the joke is that old hen's don't lay eggs anymore, and the commentators were remarking that old hen's make the best broth. I thought it was funny that the chicken had a face shield on with what looked to be the tribu dei chihuahua writing on it. Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!)

It's on again Tuesday morning. I deleted it to make room on my Tivo before I read this :( As for the MotoGP race, I hope this puts to rest the rumours that Casey just didn't want to race. Congrats to Stoner on the race and Rossi on the Championship.

The official response from Rossi: He said: “My celebration was because in Italy we say an old chicken makes good soup but can no longer lay eggs. “I am like the old chicken – 30 years now – but I have made another egg. That’s nine.” Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!) Post by: OT on October 25, 2009, 06:31:54 PM Wonder if they flew the chicken there from Italy on a Gulfstream?
Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!) Post by: EvilSteve on October 25, 2009, 08:04:03 PM Wow, great race by Stoner and Rossi's #9, what can you say about that guy that hasn't already been said?
I love it when Nicky was booting Elias, nice little fight going on with Nicky being nice and forceful. I was just concerned that Elias would take him out but thankfully that didn't happen.

That didn't look like too much fun. :( Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!) Post by: Oldfisti on October 26, 2009, 07:51:34 AM Now what to do for 5 months!?

See what Spies does at Valencia. See if Stoner holds onto third or if Lorenzo tosses it away and gives Stoner 2d (not sure if that works mathematically. Once that's done, then start jerkin' off a bunch. Title: Re: 2009 MotoGP Round 16 - Malaysia (There will be Spoilers!)
