    Fiat Yamaha Bike Launch - Photos And Videos | MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks

    Meeeeeoooooow, with Vale and Jorge:

    "The biggest news at the launch was that data would no longer be shared between the two sides of the garage. This move comes after various accusations back and forth between Lorenzo and Rossi that the other side had been using their settings."

    Team Prima Donna Fiat Yamaha, at your service! Maybe while they're dukin' it out and withholding critical info, Ben or Colin can sneak onto the podium occasionally.

    I predict the biggest winner to be the Italian tax bureaucrats.

    Come Hayden and Spies, wring those f'ers necks! Both of you guys have faster bikes than that...

    Those interview vids on MV's link are interesting - I really like Lorenzo's (public) attitude. It takes a certain amount of maturity to maintain that position; to threaten Rossi's dominance without appearing to be anything but a polite and deferential team mate..

    Not surprised to see Rossi at the top. I am surprised and happy that Colin is right there with the top two. Hopefully he can maintain that all year. I would have to think, that he is more motivated this year to place higher up, having Ben as his teammate. I wonder just how much of a difference there is now between the Fiat bikes and the Tech 3 bikes... I wouldnt be surprised if 4 Yamahas finished the season in the top 6.

    Someone correct if I am mistaken, but I don't think that Spies has been to Sepang. It's quite possible he thinks it's a narwhal when it's really a coelacanth...

    He'll be there on race day...

    Spies will do well this year, but I dont think he will mirror the success of last season. These bikes are much different and I believe there are a few tracks that he will see for the first time this year..

    The bikes are different but I think he's proven that seeing a track for the first time doesn't mean anything.

    When he raced 250's, he came across as a petulant, arrogant punk. I never would have dreamed that he would show such maturity and poise at the top level. He's certainly earned my respect over the last two seasons.
