did anyone watch the Moto-GP on the weekend with TB winning on the DUKE..!!!!!

Always new if he could get the bike under him he would be competitive! :thumb

It'll be great to see Casey Stoner on the Ducati next year!

The task for Casey is exactly that - staying on the bike, Ducati or otherwise!

I've been hoping Casey would settle in to a better riding style on the GP bikes by end of season, but he's still throwing it away or running off the track. He's got the speed, but that ain't gunna win a championship if you don't finish the race.

And although the Dukes are looking a better package, getting power to the ground, they're a pretty unforgiving ride and spitting Casey would be just their thing if he don't work it out early.

Should be an interesting season for the new 800's next year. I'm sure Pedrosa is happy this season ended well - he could have been looking for another job had Rossi won it again!

dont think that troy won that truely because his bike was sorted and he was at his peak. yeah sure. he would ve been in a damn fine position to put up a good fight, but lets face it... no one tried to challenge him. no one needed to take those risks in the last race, to further enhance any position at the end of the season.

saying that it was good to see troy out front and having fun. certainly puts a nice cap on the end of his 2006 season.

Probable a stupid question but, did he ride his superbike? of a GP bike.?"M

troy filled in for teh ambulance rider (gibbernau) who was feelin a little sore cause the bloke takin his ride next year (stoner) crashed in front of him and he had no choice really but to go down as well.
troy rode the amubulance rider's bike for the last GP round. dont think the superbike would have a chance in hell of keeping with a GP bike.

TB was playin with caparossi? spelling gotta be wrong. Caparossi was ridin the wheels off that thing on the last tenish laps and each time he got close enough bayliss rode away just like superbike style. Awesome ride where is TB going next year? GP or WSB?
