IMHO Hoffman is neither experienced or talented enough to do the Kawasaki justice. I say it's time to get rid of the pretty-boy and get someone who at least has enough bike control to NOT highside the bike at 40kph
Now i don't even want to think about how long Hoffman would've lasted in those conditions when the guy struggles with just cold tyres at 40 kph Hoffman chasing down Rossi ? Only on the X-Box me thinks
Bravo! I was praying everytime OJ hopped on his seat on that right hander, praying for him to stay on the bike.
I didn't think he could catch up to Vale, but he did and finally got the chance to show what he was really capable of. Funny how you're at your best when you have nothing to lose. You could see he was having fun too! Imagine Sete's thoughts as he watched that Green machine eat him up as an apetiser!
Bloody best race I've seen in a while, mission accomplished OJ, CHAPEAU!!

Yeah great result. It is more than likely the rain that allowed the Kwaka to shine, I too expect them to be slower in the dry. If we can get OJ and Nakster out in the wet a few more times a win is a definite possibility.

I chucked a tape in so hopefully I got it. If you can't get a copy from anyone down there, and if I ever get the chance to watch it I can send it your way.
God you pack of pessimists, i'm with Wannabe Flick Hoffman for someone who can help Nakkers develop the bloody bike n they should be winning races this year. There are certain tracks & conditions where the Bridgestones are only matched by Rossi's Immense talent now that the Bike is reasonably sorted So ........ Go Kwika.
Cheers Brett
Just found this link from Round 1 Qualifying & i'm sticking with my prediction ........

We may ride like Old Can'ts, But Phuk we look DOOG !!!!!!
God im looking forward to the next GP.
Think about it. Jacque has even more to prove this time.
a, china wasnt just a fluke, wetweather thing.
b, is his home GP, gotta put on a good show for the home fans.
c, he wants a full time ride.
So is it going to be a third bike for kwaka or dump the hoff?
I reckon. Someone who hasn't been on a GP bike in yonks, literally couldn't beleive how fast the bikes had become, to get up to speed so quickly. They better hang onto Jacque.
