As if the Kawis weren't bad enough last year, Kawi just shot themselves in the foot for the next half-decade of MotoGP.  What idiots.

True, but it's an essential part of any monday morning quarterback toolkit.  I never go onto the interwebz without it.   ;D

"Kawasaki had wanted a total withdraw, but has been 'persuaded' to back a privateer entry after consultations with Dorna. Kawasaki will supply the machinery and necessary technical support to Hayate, but no development is expected."

I don't care how good Melandri is.  With no development and on a Kawi?  He's gonna be in eleventy billionth place  for every round this year.

"Whilst Melandri was a worrying 3.207sec off former team-mate Casey Stoner, Melandri was within two seconds of third placed Valentino Rossi - a reasonable deficit given the troubled background of the Hayate project - and only 0.065sec from Tech 3 Yamaha's James Toseland."

at least he's only .06 off last place so far... =)

sad part is that reasonable deficit is only going to get more and more unreasonable.

seems like it is just downright pathetic to me unless it has immeasurable set-up and handling in the rain which seems to be an equalizer and he ronks and stonks on that thing.

what is the old phrase?...a bad day of riding still beats a good day at work!  I guess for him it is just the opposite...but still...he IS riding!

maybe he needs to take a cue or few from them BSBK guys with their "Bin it or Win it" way of riding and hangin it out there!

I know he's not getting paid much (perhaps at all) to ride it, but I wonder how much Casey would pay him (in unmarked bills in a brown paper bag) to take Rossi out early in the season?
