But it's fantastic! :D

But Elias... that guy has to be one of my favourite riders - how can you not like a guy that looks like sliding out of the race every time he applies the brake?? :D

Heheh, who says u have to be an 'on rails 250 type rider' to master the 800?? Elias rides it like a Superbike haha..

I still doubt he will make regular repetition of Istanbul.

Rossi's psy war to turn down Elias' apologies post race and said this is the second pain and warning that they will meet in Shanghai is wrongly addressed.

It is sometimes interesting to see that style of riding like Felippe Massa drives a Ferrari if you watch F1 also. All Elias needs is consistency, He might only performs that way once or two races of the season. Let's wait Shanghai.

I recond that Elias will be Rossi wrost nightmere now without Biaggi and sete gone

probably, but I didn't see yet any rivalries against Rossi made by any rider would be as incisive as that made by Biaggi and Sete.

You have to be finishing around Rossi every week before he starts to take notice of you and none of the current crop have proven that they can do that yet. Maybe if Casey keeps doing well then we might have something but he doesn't really seem confrontational enough. Shame really because it adds even more spice to the Moto GP excite-mo-round :D

Oh have a whinge Rossi! Sometimes that happens in racing!

You are certainly right with your first point but then they've only been around for a season. The likes of Casey and Pedrosa will only get stronger. And don't you worry, Casey isn't afraid to speak his mind and has been known to ruffle a few feathers with his opinions. If he remains consistently up the front til 2/3's through the season, that is when Rossi will start trying some mind games and Stoner will be more than happy to fire a few words back. And I'm looking forward to it! :up:

Hehe, too right, at the start of his GP career (last year) Casey would often speak about Rossi as though he was some immortal god (rightly so.) I think now however that the image may have been shaken down somewhat.. Maybe to something like; really really good rider with really REALLY good mechanics hahah..

Yes he seems to already have made a name for himself in the paddock as one of the stronger personalities. I agree, the psych war that's gonna break out mid to late season will be a pearler.
