Pedro Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Heartily agree My only concern is that he's going to get too big, he's shooting up at a rate of knots P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Indeed, he really deserved that, I reckon he would have won but for the facts (a) Simon was basically stunningly good and ( b ) Bradley had a few too many crashes. I am pleased for Hiroshi Aoyama too. Edited November 9, 2009 by john_r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 i cant believe hes staying in 125s next year as hes going to look massive on one of them tiny bikes unlike MARQUEZ. trouble is where would he go otherwise? also the change in bikes?

shaun4860 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think he looking at it in the way of serving an apprenticeship, Good luck to him either way shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntercarbine Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think he did very well and is a great talent but, staying in 125's could be a mistake. He should have moved up to gp2 on the new 600's. It will be a level playing field with the new bikes and the really talented guys like Smith will stand out. Saying that he may win the 125 title next year(if he stops growing). Also, how good was Ben Spies in moto gp. That blokes gonna go well next year.

Yeah, he showed up Toseland who has been really disapointing in motogp. shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojusa Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yeah, he showed up Toseland who has been really disapointing in motogp. shaun Not only Toseland, he came home in front of some very good riders including Dovizioso on the HRC Works Honda. I think Spies will be a force next season. 1 Daniel Pedrosa, Honda HRC 46:47.533 2 Valentino Rossi, Yamaha Factory 46:50.183 3 Jorge Lorenzo, Yamaha Factory 46:50.466 4 Colin Edwards, Yamaha Tech3 47:20.068 5 Nicky Hayden, Ducati MotoGP 47:22.138 6 Antonio Elias, Honda Gresini 47:22.441 7 Ben Spies, Suzuki MotoGP 47:25.259 8 Andrea Dovizioso, Honda HRC 47:25.917 9 Mika Kallio Ducati, Pramac 47:30.044 10 Alex De Angelis, Honda Gresini 47:31.242 11 Randy De Puniet, Honda LCR 47:33.571 12 James Toseland, Yamaha Tech3 47:37.779 13 Gabor Talmacsi, Honda Scot 47:39.537 14 Aleix Espargaro, Aprilia Lotus 47:44.721 15 Loris Capirossi, Suzuki MotoGP 47:54.430 16 Chris Vermeulen, Suzuki MotoGP 47:59.254 17 Gabor Talmacsi, Honda Scot 48:01.958 18 Marco Melandri, Hayate Racing 48:20.978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was great this year when he managed to defeat the evil empire in WSB( Ducati) I imagine they will ask for a 2 minute head start next year in WSB, so they can be sure the title goes back to Bologna.

Apparently Toseland is bigging up his chances for the title. I think Crutchlow will kick his **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Toseland beating Crutchlow, I don't think he's as hungry for it as Cal is. I really enjoyed watching Crutchlow in WSS this year , he's a class act.
