I'm really curious to see what he and JB can do to sort out the front end of the Duc....I'd be willing to bet they'll have it stable and running at the front in fairly short order.

If Hayden can top 5 on it, Rossi can win on it...

You mean the maxipads they strapped to the front aren't helping?

No joke, it won one championship already with someone who seems to his own ups n downs.

That's exactly what I'm thinking...

I think... if they get that front end sorted... they'll be dominate like the Duc was a couple years ago when Stoner won the championship. if not more so with Rossi at the helm...

just saw this on the wiki page for vale

Quote:

The text on his helmet refers to the name of his group of friends: "The Tribe of the Chihuahua," and the letters WLF on his leathers stand for "Viva La Figa," Italian for "Long Live Pussy." He has so far escaped any sanctions or ultimatums that he remove the letters because the "W" in "WLF" represents the two "V"s in "ViVa". Equally obvious is his success at escaping any disciplinary action from the FIM or Dorna for having the letters so brazenly on the front neck area of his leathers.

I thought he actually had the phrase printed somewhere?

Rossi walks like a crippled old man. I'm wondering if his injury last summer will have any permanent effects on his riding ability. He looked good, slower than on the yamaha, but it is a new to him bike.

How weird would it be to jump off of a bike you've rode for 7 years on Sunday, and onto another bike on Monday. It'd just be so weird.

Ducati has had front end issues all year...and the bike was just not as stable as the Yammi or Honda.

Stoner and Lorenzo are gonna walk Rossi in '11.
