What a race:fire

What a pln for Rossi to intentionally slow the pace down then once the trailing pack cought up to make a dash for it for them to sort out with the remaining podium positions:bow :bow

Great effort by Hayden to stick with him for alot of the race though:yesnod

Im going off this that i saw yesterday..


HONDA has poured cold water on Australian motorcycle racer Chris Vermeulen's hopes of a move to MotoGP for next season.

The manufacturer said it wanted Vermeulen, 23, to continue in the World Superbike class in 2006.

Vermeulen stepped onto the Camel Honda bike of injured compatriot Troy Bayliss at the Australian Grand Prix today, and finished a creditable 11th behind Valentino Rossi.

The race marked his debut in the premier class, and his performance attracted measured praise from team owner Sito Pons.

Bayliss, who has struggled with the bike this year, returns to superbikes next season.

Pons, however, said nothing more than Vermeulen was likely to take the place of his fellow countryman at the next round, in Turkey.

Vermeulen made a charge towards the World Superbike title this year, with a string of late-season race wins, but eventually finished second to compatriot Troy Corser.

Honda Racing Corporation sporting director Carlo Fiorani said today that Vermeulen should ride superbikes for another year.

"It seems difficult for Chris in grands prix next year,? Fiorani said.


"I think the best option for Chris is for him to try to win the World Superbike championship with Honda next year.

"That job is not yet completed and he would like to win the Superbike championship.

"For Chris, it may depend a little on results in these final races, but it seems that a place with Honda in MotoGP in 2006 is very difficult."

The Camel Honda Pons squad have lined up Italian Max Biaggi and Spaniard Carlos Checa to replace Alex Barros and Bayliss for 2006.

when it comes to Rossi as much as I would love to say it is the bike it isnt. the rc211 is the baddest overall machine out there. This is the first time Yamaha has won like this since Wayne Rainey they didnt have the best bike then and they dont now. with that said I truly believe (forgive me I have always been a huge Rossi fan) that if you put rossi on MY bike he would hand Mladin his ass. Just my opinion. Mladin is an Awesome rider, no doubt about that, but then Suzuki is AWFUL in MotoGP! It just depends on the money mostly which is why Honda is so badass in MotoGP. Hayden is going to be a real threat soon I think and hope. But opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink. As far as streetbikes like we ride go it is mosty rider. And I believe if you take a amatuer rider with little skill and put him on the big 4s I think he would be fastest on the zuk or kaw. But you get someone who knows how to ride and isnt afraid to keep their bike up in the rpms you just can't beat an R1. OK I'm done.....sorry

I personally loved Dani Pedrosa's win especially his stress relief that came out as tears of joy ... gosh that was awesome. Bad luck for Stoner and De-Angelis's jump was marvelous in the sense that he didnt crash ... no wonder these guys are The Best of the Cream of riders in the world.

Rossi is without a doubt a living Legend and i personally believe hes larger than any other GP rider in the past, and thats not to say that other werent. I am a big fan of Doohan and like Rainey, Mamola, and Lawson ... Big names in the history of bikes BUT Vale Rossi by far is a near pefect package, hes not just another rider whose had so many wins ... its his riding skills, analytical approach, mental strength, ability to cope with stress on race days and play with other riders minds, and alot of other things that make him a Living Legend :bow :bow :bow

Having said al that i was supporting Sete and Nicky as usual as always to win the race cos i wanted some competition and was really happy/amazed to see Nicky doing a 1.29 lap :rock but Rossi still dominated even though he wasnt on as superior bike as Nicky and Sete were on.
