You left out the Kentucky Kid. [Dolph]

Doh... he actually totally slipped my mind.  I think it's because... well... I like Nicky and all... but he's had a lot of time on the Duc so far with not much to show :\

He's been pretty consistent with an inconsistent crap bike. give him a great bike, inconsistent or not, and I think you might be surprised

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Stretching the envelope a bit..... Capirossi did fairly well, 7 wins total on the Duc and finished the season 3rd in '06.

Granted, but the 990 was a totally different bike, and the tires were a different animal.

Did Capi ever ride the 800, and if so what were his results on it?

Even for Stoner; when he wasn't contending he was crashing....

Interesting. 2 years off the yami.. and hes comes back only 2/10ths of a second behind lorenzo in 2013 test results. Thats downright scary! Top3 in test results. That man is the GOAT!

It was a mistake, but in a way it allowed him to reflect and accept that Jorge is as good as he is, or better at this point in his career.  By being humbled and finally knocked off his pedestal, he embraces the younger generation and has more respect for their ability.  It also reignites his fire, as he needs to prove he can still compete on a weekly basis for wins/podiums.
