un extrait des commentaires de ce Toby Moody, pas ininterressant concernant la politique Honda, et les changement de règlement orchestrés par le geant.
Eurosport MotoGP commentator Toby Moody reveals more behind-the-scenes news from the season-opening Spanish Grand Prix, at Jerez –
.....
Just going back half a day, Rossi's weekend was obviously hindered by the Saturday crash on the oil of Hoffman, but the really frightening thing is that there were 30 seconds between the German walking away from his smoking Duke, to Rossi arriving on his arse. Even if the marshals could not tell it had dropped oil, why did Hoffman not tell them to get the flags out? There was even more time before the lemmings then arrived with KRJR, De Puniet, Nakano and Melandri in a very expensive tip. Thank the lord no-one was hurt in such an avoidable situation.
Pedrosa is now the Honda Golden Child in the top class. They haven't had a Golden Child since Kato... They've obviously nicked all the young small riders and helped some people. Just how did Lucio Cecchinello find the money to pay for that bike? They must have bamboozled the rules through for 800cc, just as they did with the 4 and 5 cylinder weight limit being the same. It can't have been a co-incidence.
Fundamentally, if a rider is quick, he is quick and Honda have seen that in Pedrosa, Elias, Melandri and Stoner. To a certain extent they thought that of Hayden, but they've kicked him aside with Pedrosa after his three years in the works team. Hayden must feel over the moon. How long until he leaves? Monday after Valencia? Why didn't Honda take Vermeulen when they had the chance? I hope Chris can prove Big Red wrong.
