I know the speed channel commentators get all excited when it looks like he might score a rare podium, but the european press must be laughing at both him, and honda for retaining him as their flagship rider. as much as i cheer for capirossi, i wonder if he would be saying this if he was scoring the same results on a works yamaha or honda. i don’t believe this… just this year giberneau gets a works honda and his performance drops – shouldn’t he be better then he was on a second tier customer bike last year? amd colin edwards is riding the sister bike to rossi – edwards is no rookie but his performances should be stronger if the bike means that much. and finally we have #69 nicky hayden – in his third year of riding THE BEST BIKE IN THE FIELD.
