This is Dani Pedrosas Front tyre from Motegi.
You have to respect the little guy for shutting up and just getting on with the race rather than bitch about some mystery fault.
This was good enough for 3rd place. How fast will he be when/if Honda get the bike sorted.

I bet if he'd known what state it was in, he wouldn't have been pushing as hard... :-o

Could you imagine Stoner with the same tyre? Theres a lovely excuse, like he needs more.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just piss off and leave me alone.

Not to mention the fact he can barely walk..... making for an interesting season already. Looks like I'll be eating some words about boring fairly soon.

I kind of think it does.
Surely it shows that the Honda (and a maybe Mr P) just was not using its tyres as well.
Great and frightening pic. How he worked with those is extra ordinary.

I watched the race again and Rossi did seem to catch him up and pull away faster on rights than anywhere else towards the end.

I wonder what he felt when he got off and looked at that tyre?
did it just confirm what he knew that he was dicing with death and yet still raced or was he surprised?
I think he knew.
