    if it happens(rossi & stoner on honda), it would be the best thing ever...., they are both superhuman and their rivalry is fiercer than anyone else's....,

    regarding same machinery - found this on a forum...

    Rossi's fan - give rossi a honda and then we will see who is better...
    Stoner's fan - give stoner a ducati and you already know the result...

    Also found out about the Jerez's tests...

    Now as a self respecting fan - I expect mr Rossi to quit monkeying around and go test that ducati...

    Also the 2011 macau GP...gonna try to get complete race...
    In a way its gud the Checa is testing the Desmo. Maybe he gives a feedback Different from Rossi and they can work out.

    Hope Bayliss did the test.....

      Yup but Brivio belittling stoner's feedback from the bike isn't fair. I mean how do you say his feedback isn't as good as Rossi when the manufacturer is not willing to listen. Doesn't matter how good or bad feedback the rider is giving.

      EDIT:

      What about Dovi? From a factory Honda to a satellite Yamaha.. Would he have a factory support like Gresini or he would have Cal and Colin like bike??
      You can see in many of the race weekend replays, rossi adjusting brake (or clutch). It will be a big rotating wheel on his handle bar which he would try move in the straights.
      But I thought this was a standard in all the motogp bikes...

      All the satellite and factory start the season on same spec bike but as the year goes on, the updates on the bike goes first to factory bikes and then goes to satellite bikes. Should be the same with Yamaha as well.

        There was an interesting article about rossi in the magazine 'Bike India'. Dont remember much.(I'll try to search tho)

        It was about rossi adjusting his front brake lever on straights.........


        So many reasons of him being the greatest rider.
        I was about to post that. It was written by Mat Oxley and I think he mentioned about Rossi doing the same in Laguna Seca race.

                Moto2 rider Michele Pirro is being considered for it. He being already in Gresini team and did well in the last race of the season. Also he is an Italian

                I too am eagerly looking forward to the next season, first due to the rules change in motoGP and also moto3 with 250cc four stroke single cylinder replacing 125cc class.

                Edit: Nobody highlighted this in recent news:

                  This definitely needs a new post.
                  Unofficial times from Jerez test 2. And look who's on top
                  Aprillia CRT and also Colin's BMW powered sure will give something to the factories to be afraid if those times reported are anyways close to be true:
                  From here: La CRT progresan en las pruebas de Jerez | MotoGP | Deporte | Motoworld

                  Very happy to see these times of the CRT bikes though Aprlia was an SBK bike with carbon brakes on (I guess)

                    Just saw Fastest...
                    Its as good as the first one, infact even better than the previous version if you are a hardcore rossi fan.
                    Its all about ROSSI.

                    Loved it, would watch it 20~30 more times as watched faster.

                    The only disappointment was that it had no 2011 season at all (as they say shot around the world in 2010 and 2011), only 2010 in detail and ofcource epic rossi races like catalyuna 2009, laguna 2008 and motegi 2010.

                    It gives us a more clearer picture about rossi (it sure does even if we know it all).

                    Very well made movie though, guys please do not wait, grab it as fast and as soon as possible.

                        I downloaded it from racing underground.
                        its a 7.8 gig dvd file.

                        It has a lot of extras too, rossi's younger brother beating rossi in a go cart race, a very rocket science explanation as why yamaha is better than the competition in the corners, why is yellow so important for rossi , and lot of others.

                          I think the reason he was not at Jerez test was because rally show was a tribute to Super Sic.

                              Not very sure I guess there is still a ban on factory riders with respect to the amount of testing for the year 2011. Which is why Rossi or any other factory rider aren't testing after the valencia test.

                              There is a debate going on in other sites whether Rossi deliberately missed the test and let the test riders do the testing and went for the Monza rally or he is actually banned from testing in 2011...

                                8 days of test was allowed for the factory riders( combined... and if you guys remember After Vale hurt his finger.. Nicky did some testing lateR) in 2011 if i remember properly and this test was mandatory for the CRT bikes.

                                And after the second day colin is about 3-4 secs off the pace of Stoner. And yeah RDP is good on the APRC SBK Bridgestone.

                                The way things are turning out I feel Jorge Martinez has been the cleverest or smartest of all. By 2015 Aspar should be a title contender.
