[QUOTE] Verdigris emerged from their own little world to say [/QUOTE] Not forgetting that in the past the end of the one season which had promise turned into nothing. Thinking recently of Barros when he first got given the Honda V5, he won the last few races and then did nothing with it the year after. [QUOTE] They'll have the extra incentive of Pedrosa coming in too. Especially Hayden who will have to work extra hard as Repsol will be keen to have a Spanish rider as their no.1 In recent testing Pedrosa was 1sec. off the pace but almost as fast as Gibernau on the Ducati.[/QUOTE] If he can muscle the bike around, it will be interesting. Stoner was 4th fastest in the testing at Valencia. Nice to see that Ellison was faster than Rolfo on the D'Antin Ducati, which Rolfo has been riding all year.
