Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / May 2006Rossi leaves cages to those who lack balance.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/5012822.stm > http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/5012822.stm No sh.t! I wish I had cable - this looks like it is turning out to be a very interesting season. There is a lot of fast new blood. It would be cool to see Hayden take the win, although I still have to believe Rossi could easily pull it off since no one is dominant right now. A few 1st place finishes and he would be back on top. RRW had an article saying how the 800 cc engines of next year will not necessarily be less powerful, just higher rev'ing and a lot more expensive. I imagine this would give them a smaller power band making them a bit less ridable. - Kurt > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/5012822.stm > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Rossi could easily pull it off since no one is dominant right now. > A few 1st place finishes and he would be back on top. Depends how Hayden et al keep finishing. If they are consistently on the box maybe not. I remember one year Ben Bostrom won the AMA championship and never one a single race. > RRW had an article saying how the 800 cc engines of next year will not > necessarily be less powerful Oh but they will be less powerful. Power is the area under the hp curve, not just it's peak value. > the box maybe not. I remember one year Ben Bostrom won the AMA > championship and never one a single race. That is the path Hayden is on right now. >> RRW had an article saying how the 800 cc engines of next year will not >> necessarily be less powerful > > Oh but they will be less powerful.

The area under the hp curve doesn't have the units of power, but I understand what it is you are saying. - Kurt |
