who is your favorite rider and why? just curious as to who we all like. mine?? has to be melandri. when he is on it, he is ripping the circuits a new asshole. he rides literally on the ragged edge of what the bike can do. i believe in a couple of years, he will be refined, and able to really compete for the championship. plus he can slide that ducati like no tomorrow.:D

Melandri good at sliding a Ducati? Typo? ;)

I would struggle to pick an absolute favourite rider. I do really enjoy watching Capirossi, Hayden, Hopkins and Tamada for their riding styles though - anyone who can back it in like the first two or consider getting their elbow down a pretty normal part of cornering has my full respect. :)

no, not a typo, but when he is really on his game...he is good. just that he is usually not on his game.

p.d. i didnt realize there was already a topic open on this, so if you want you can delete this thread.

I meant that Melandri's not exactly a Ducati rider. ;) He spent two seasons on a Yamaha and then last year on a Movistar Honda which turned into a Fortuna Honda for this season.

A tad predictable, but Mr Rossi, because he's god like and still relatively easy going/ out there to have a laugh. Different to Pedrosa who is like a robot......

There's no doubting that Rossi's a great character to have in MotoGP. I liked the little statement he made in France with his seat sticker...
