1) The rear tire looks massive in that pic. 2) They designed yet another midget rocket sized for Douchey McBrokenbones? Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: zooom on May 17, 2011, 11:41:17 AM 2) They designed yet another midget rocket sized for Douchey McBrokenbones? Stoner ain't that much bigger than him... Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: Spidey on May 17, 2011, 11:47:56 AM Stoner ain't that much bigger than him... 4 inches and 15 lbs? That's a lot, especially in height. Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: desmoquattro on May 17, 2011, 12:08:18 PM 4 inches and 15 lbs? That's a lot, especially in height. ...and whining.

now there's video... Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: MadDuck on May 20, 2011, 08:15:46 AM So HRC was boo-hooing the fact that they couldn't get Dani's opinion too. Well hell, what about Dovi? It's not exactly like he's chopped liver.

It's not exactly like he's chopped liver. or SIMO since he is a factory paid rider!?!?!?!

It's not exactly like he's chopped liver. Dovi pretty much is chopped liver. I doubt HRC cares what he thinks.Simo's opinion might be relevant, but I'm guessing that Casey and Pedrobot are a lot more knowledgeable and experienced with bike setup and development. Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: gm2 on May 20, 2011, 08:51:45 AM dovi is wearing orange this year because he has good managers/lawyers, not because they wanted a 3 bike team.

No only that, but the factory team is the one paying for it, so they'll want the guys that will actually be using the bike next year. Dovi will not be with Repsol next year. Maybe a satellite Honda, but not Repsol. Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: desmoquattro on May 20, 2011, 09:26:14 AM Maybe a satellite Honda, but not Repsol. Or Moto2... Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: Jester on May 20, 2011, 09:38:45 AM Or Moto2... He's too good of a rider to go to Moto2. He'll be in GP for a while. Title: Re: RC213(?)v Post by: desmoquattro on May 20, 2011, 09:58:20 AM He's too good of a rider to go to Moto2. He'll be in GP for a while. So was Tony Elias. But with Suzuki not actively developing a 1000cc bike, I wonder if the number of real (read: non-joke-claiming-rule) seats on the grid will shrink enough to the point that Dovi considers it? He's certainly at the sharp end of the stick at times, but I think next year is such a wild card that there's a good chance it'll happen.
