Well said Bob and as I said, "Tsutomu Ishii should find a sword and fall on
it." I forget where it was, but it was evident earlier this year Dani was,
either by design, or by sheer lunacy trying to make an issue with Nicky and
had the old man still been around I guarantee he would have been put in his
place. Then again, had Soichiro still been alive I would imagine many things
would be different. If there really is that "face" thing still at HRC, I can
imagine we'll see a few new ones fairly soon...

This last race, I'd agree. But you don't have to go back very many races
and Pedrosa had a solid chance at the championship. And that makes the
team two number #1s and not a leader and follower. And let's not forget
that Pedrosa is coming off 3 consecutive championships in two classes
and a whole bunch of records. He's employed by HRC to win and he's
proved he can do it. Not to be second. Above all he's a racer and
they're all driven, ego-maniacs. If they weren't they wouldn't be as
good as they are. If your team mate is your biggest competitor you do
the mind jobs on them not the other teams. Just ask Max.

And let's not forget he's a rookie to the class that was given the absolute
best bike and still couldn't keep up pointwise with that damn hillbilly...

That's what you get when you take a #2 rider, put him on the #1 bike
and give him a big, bright green light...

Oh Dani boy
The bikes, the bikes are falling
>From track to dirt, and down they both do slide
The lead has gone and all the hopes are fading
Tiz you, tiz you and boy you need to hide
But come you back and dare to face the music
Of Nicky's rage and red of face
'Tis I'll be here to watch them fail in Espania
Oh Dani boy, oh Dani boy I love you so
