    Statistically he's better than Rossi. Why should he wait a year?
    Still tyre testing? Or M1 '06 troubles?
    1 Northern Monkey "in the points".

    So you don't think Rossi is going to win the title again?

    Two if you count Mellandri, he lives a few miles away from where I do.

    Well, the same thing he said when he arrived to 250cc... let's see what he
    does.
    Green powah! :)

    I think that we will have more fun watching MotoGP, no matter who wins.

    I'd promise to do something if Pedrosa is MotoGP champion in his first year,
    but last time I made such kind of promises I finished skiing a glacier... in
    underpants.

    Oh, yes, and we will see the evolution of the Ducati enduro-GP bike thanks
    to Gibernau. Don't forget his grandpa (Don Paco Bultó) made the finest
    off-road bikes of his time, the Bultacos...

    I just hope that your press don't start slagging him off if he doesn't do
    well straight away.
    You need to speak to your English teacher about some spelling lessons :)
    James Ellison. Did near miracles with the WCM, and now appears to have
    both D'Antin and Tech 3 after his signature.

    Could be worth a trip to the bookies though.
    heh... how fickle the Spanish fans are.

    Heh, you know well those cunts... I simply ignore all that shit.
    BTW, she enjoyed the explanation of what the UKRM acronyms are and what the
    GAGARPHOF is.
    Ah.

  14. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ
    These bets are *always* dangerous.

    I once (in a bar in Cape Town) bet a mate that he couldn't talk another
    mate into turning his airport-bound taxi round and missing his flight to
    Jo'burg.

    "I'll walk naked across the dance floor if you can!".

    ....

    "Oh, hello Ryan."

    It was eventually decided (on aesthetic grounds) that a suitable forfeit
    was picking up the bar tab for a honeymooning Irish couple.

    I didn't need to bet to do so in the paddock of the Cartagena circuit after
    a great track day (we camped in the pits). What a f*cking great party there
    was. And what horrible lap times we had on day two.

    Oh for sure. I really rate him and I hope he kicks some arse next year.
    And if it came down to him and Rossi to win the title, I'll be cheering
    for Dani.

    "growing up".

    Nope, but I've been to l'Estartit. Does that help?
