So, what was Pedrosa thinking?
Going to a different topic, does anyone in here think that HRC will take team-order more seriously after today's race in Portugal where team-mate Dani Pedrosa accidentally took-out Nicky Hayden, and perhaps ruining his chance of a championship. I feel that, although it was an honest mistake, Pedrosa should had been more careful to Hayden's championship contention, where he was 11 points ahead of Rossi. Since Rossi took second-place in today's race, he is now leading the championship by 8 points over Hayden. What was Pedrosa thinking by being so aggressive to his team-mate? He (Dani) was so behind in the standing that it would take a miracle to win the 2006 championship, so he should have eased-off and stayed behind Hayden.
To re-pay Hayden, Pedrosa must torpedo Rossi.
It'll never happen. So sad for Hayden. 
Although I am a Rossi fan too.

Hahaha..."Pedrosa must torpedo Rossi." I like how that is worded. In all fairness, I think Rossi deserves to lead the championship because he had two or three DNFs. It was hilarious when Pedrosa ran away after taking-out Hayden. The little guy was probably afraid that Hayden would drop-kick his ass.
Honda will win the constructor's championship this year and perhaps next year. Their diminutive 2007 MotoGP bike looks incredibly agile and their rivals are taking notice. I'm a little bit flustered that the 2007 Yamaha and Ducati bikes look the same as this year.

To quote motogpnews.com:
On lap three Hayden bullied his way past his team-mate Pedrosa to take third - if Pedrosa had have been normal sized contact could have been made. One lap later, and at the same bend, Thumbelina thought he'd have a crack at the same manoeuvre. Here's the countdown to the collision and thoughts provided by Dani.
-3.0 seconds "I'll show that fat American that I can pass there too."
-2.9 seconds "Wow! What amazing drive I got"
-2.4 seconds "I wonder if I won that bid for them vintage stamps on eBay?"
-1.4 seconds "I do hope HRC are watching this! Better start braking"
-1.1 seconds "Hello, my back end's coming up. Better shift my weight back"
-0.7 seconds "Well that did sod all. What a waste of bloody time."
-0.3 seconds "Okay what's plan B?"
-0.1 seconds "How come my front wheel is pointing like that?"
-0.0 seconds "Oh dear"
+10.0 seconds "Why is that fat American guy yelling at me? And what's he saying? What's a sock cutter?"
+15.0 seconds "Alberto! Help!"
+45.13 minutes "Damn, I can't believe I was outbid. Why does all the bad stuff happen to me?"
