    That fekking tyre choice !! That team is making so many strategic mistakes now a days !!

    In the last 2-3 weeks lots of firsts happened with Rossi !!

    Before Le Mans, he had never finished dead last in a race !!

    It was the first time in his career, he was out of the front row in qualifying.

    He didn't win the race after 7 years !!

    But at least his luck is better than Pedrosa's !!

      And Sukant i don t think you noticed this ! Do you have any answer for this ?

      And Why are you so concerned about Daniii all the time ?

        I agree riders do not have any say. Which is y having a good team is so important. Its the pit crew that decides which setup and tyre choice will be good at which stage. its not decided at the start of the race.

        When the team is ready with the setup, they put out a pt board saying its okay to come in !! Even after that it's the riders discretion to come in or not. Like Lorenzo did in Le Mans !

        And 13 laps left, cold conditions, tyres need to be up to temperature fast. With no intermediate compound available, was it that hard to figure out that softer tyres shud've gone on the bike !!
        After all that team is considered the best in business.
        I'm not slaggin the team, one rare misjudge is harly a blemish.

        I'm just ruing Rossi missed a chance for a fair fight !! thats it !!

          Hmm So the tire rule could be the culprit here ! They would ve even used up the soft tires they had for that weekend !

          And guys did anyone notice the incident that happened in 250 practice !? De Rosa holding on to the bike at 80 mph after thrown out of the bike and climb up onto the bike again !

          Search in Youtube as 'De Rosa Mugello' ! It ll pop up first !
          I m not able to give that link here ! OFFICE RULES OUT YOUTUBE

            They finished their entire quota of soft compound tires !!!!
            While no other team did !! Not possible unless they ran out of condoms and urgently needed some !!

              usually there's a Tire engineer from Bridgestone that works with each team.

              In Rossi's case at Mugello the tire choice was left upto Peter Baumgartner, the highly experienced Bridgestone tire engineer assigned to work with Rossi. The hard front tire seemed like a logical choice but the damp asphalt at Mugello prevented the tire to get upto temperature. By the time they were upto temperature it was already too late.

                If the asphalt was damp, how was it a logical choice yaar !!
                Sure they are highly experienced and competent fellows, but it was an error of judgement.
                Neways, let bygones be bygones !! Looking forward to Catalunya !!

                As an aside, this year none of the races have been won by home favourites !!

                    Here you go

                    A lot of stunning things happen in 250 class . Similar incident in the race when Bautista was thrown off in the air but luckily landed back right on the bike and continued racing

                        It wasn't a logical choice but Rossi like the hard tires the best.
                        He can manage those tires like nobody on the entire grid. Mebbe thats why they went for the harder option.
