Watching the MotoGP again tonight made me wonder what if. What if Spies was on one of uber fast Hondas? Like if he took Dovi's place. Food for thought. I'm thinking he might be #2 instead of Pedrobot in the champ run. Don't see The Ben running down Stoner even on the same scooters. But I see him toasting Pedrobot on the same bike. Talk amongst yourselves. Grin

I dont think it would matter if he was on the 800 Honda, the bike is to small for Ben and he will blossom next year on a bike with more torque. Pedro is something like 48kg how the hell anyone is meant to out accelerate him Im stuffed if i know.

Must point out that Spies is about 11 lbs lighter and an inch shorter than Simoncelli, who seems to be able to go pretty damn fast on a Honda.

I must point out that Ben isn't the fastest rider on his own team.  Give Lorenzo the Honda and see what would happen.  Not Spies.

They should just rotate manufacturers every week. One week they all ride Ducatis, next week Suzuki, etc.  laughingdp

And it's awesome.   waytogo

I don't mind disparity between the manufacturers (Honda is fast, Yamaha handles well, Ducati sounds good), b/c it leads to different solutions and bikes with different strengths and weaknesses.  But I mind it when Honda builds a killer and the rest of the season isn't worth watching.  Unless you find it interesting to wait and see if Respol will sweep the podium.  

In reality, the problem isn't with the Hondas.  It's that Suzuki and Ducati aren't remotedly competitive.  So at tracks where Yamaha can't use its advantage (balanced and handles well) to make a race out of it, it's pretty much gonna be a Honda win.  If the other bikes were competitive, at least they'd provide a chance of mixing up the look on the podium.  No fun when it's a two horse race and one of them is guaranteed to be lame at half the tracks.

Yah, the big H finally got all the pieces of the puzzle together at once.
Would be nicer with a little more competition from Yam, Suz, and Duc.

We can take some satisfaction in watching Stoner slide that bike around.
At least he doesn't ride like George does, and the pedrobot used to.

Isn't WSBK the same, except its Ducati at the front letting the rest squabble for the minor places last year it was the Aprilia. Most motor sport is the same Formula One etc, I guess that's racing.

OK. I'm done with MotoGP. The big bike races are boring and after watching the Moto2 race I'm calling foul. If it was an AMA race there would be a motor tear down on Marquez's bike. Sealed 600cc Honda engines my ass. It was a Spanish GP with a Spanish rider on a Repsol sponsored bike. He motored past every rider he wanted to down every straight. Slip streaming my ass he had 20 horsepower on everyone. He had some good tussles up front but when he said goodbye it was all horsepower. I'm calling bullshit. bang head He isn't that good.

When's the next REAl race? WSBK trumps MotoGP every single day. waytogo Dolph popcorn

Checa is doing well this year, but it is usually good racing regardless. WSS is very good as well.
