As for me, I can tell Rossi's really good, and I reckon I can see Loris is pretty good, and Xaus is bonkers, but I can't really tell the others apart as far as ability is concerned. But you sound like someone who knows what he's talking about, Red.

Tell ya what, though, I reckon that young Aussie Stoner might be pretty good.
I told you so, back in 2005, eh Red?

Good prophetic skills there Skins , would you be able to tell us next weeks lottery numbers?
It is great news that Casey is on a bit of a comeback for all of us down this neck of the woods , hoping that they have sorted out the Ducati's earlier problems, and the good luck continues.
Go Stoner Go!!!!

Frankie, Frankie, Frankie. I lost a lot of respect for vale after all the whinging and bitching last year. He sounded like Max and Corser rolled into 1.

In SBK Max has become an ironman and a cool guy, Corser still sucks.

You're right,
but, really, his bike + tires had to go very bad, last year.

Few years ago, someone told about Vale on a Ducati. I'd love that...

Valentino is avery professional rider and he has a vry professional team working for him
They are able to debug any trouble out of the bike and Valentino seems able to ride and challenge with almost anything has an engine and two weels.
Si, ma che due baaalllllleeeee!!!!! (And this's so boring!)

If you listern carefully the sound of the engine in a gp bike, you can hear the "cutting" by traction control.
Stoner just pulls the trottle fully open and trust in traction control, Valentino (and all the other riders, Melandri included), try to manage the power handling the trottle.
Desmosedici requires another kind of riding, more "digital" and less "mechanical".
Ducati is leader in such a tencnology just because had the best performing 1000cc engine abd needed it, while Honda could just "cut" the power in 1st and 2nd gear (They confessed about 50%)

I think you`re right, Nicola.
Traction control is for Auntie Betty & all that can`t handle the engine... Like me & most of us, but it`s not f serious racing!
So is Launch Control, the silliest thing ever invented: Electronics helps you start til the first corner. Many F1 races 2-3 years ago, 3-4 cars don`t move, sorry, LC did not work! Is`nt starting skills a racing factor, how you handle your vehicle from the start!?!
