You've not been to Spain lately have you? He's huge and only getting bigger. And if there's anything Spanish people love to spend their money on, it's useless stuff that has someone's name/face/football team on it. Trust me, he can.

laverty:  First run on the R1 felt great but I hope to attack a dry track tomorrow. The bike is rather spacious, I feel like a flea on a greyhound!

Good.  While it'll suck for the rest of the season, I want Rossi healed up and in shape for next year.  And it may move The Ben up in the standings for this year.  If he can pick off Rossi (likely) and Dovi (mayyyybe -- depending on how many more times Dovi tosses it away this season), he could end up 4th.

yamaha are in a tough spot.. they have to actively transition their support away from valentino while not 'disrespecting' who he is, what he's done for them.  but the further down the road of that transition you get, the more of a threat he becomes.  he showed on sunday just how threatening a broken leg'd, f'ed up shoulder version of him can be.  kicking jeorge around the track like that was the ultimate mind game: i'm at 65% and i can still kick your ass.  i'm winning next year.

the moment the valencia race ends he IS the enemy.  they were never going to let him test.

Don't forget old... Tongue

I think Furusawa considered him the enemy the day the Ducati contract was announced.
