Bayliss at Valencia

I have been owner of that bike : after two months my left arm seemed that of
Schwarzenegger...
However, one the best italian sport bike of the '70 , with Ducati MHR (Mike
Hailwood Replica, a lot of electrical problem and not only...) and Moto
Guzzi LeMans, perhaps the best one.

 

Other than Assen.

He hasn't ridden there on a MotoGP bike any more than Rossi had

Convenient argument method: "apart from his victories, he's hardly won
anything"

 

Come on then, give us chapter and verse on Nickys MotoGP achievements.

 

Its ok, the fellow forgot that Rossi was all smashed up in that
race....

Rossi is simply the greatest rider of the era [ever?]

K202

 

3 MotoGP victories, which is 3 more than Bayliss

 

Which was Rossi's fault

Yet you've said repeatedly that his opposition is hopeless, so why does
beating them make him the "greatest rider"?

 

Is that it? Is that his total achievement? 3 wins more than Bayliss?
You might as well say he has 3 more wins than Ellison or Cardosa.

 

My original post was Hayden had won races and Bayliss didn't. This is a
statement of fact, so what exactly are you yapping about?

 

that's way it's usually best to just ignore the trolls.

....or he has three more wins than Nusbaum.

 

However we had since moved on to Nickys massive achievements in MotoGP
whilst riding the best bike out there. We can only assume from your
reply that my statement of achieving sweet **** all is accurate.

 

Apart from winning races, which is a matter of fact and my original
point. This seems to upset you. Very weird.

 

Current rider wins:

Checa: 2 in 12 years
Edwards: 0 in 4 years
Gibernau: 9 in 10 years
Hopkins: 0 in 5 years
Pedrosa: 0 in 1 year
Cardoso: 0 in 5 years
Rossi: 58 in 7 years
Capirossi: 8 in 9 years
Hayden: 3 in 4 years
Ellison: 0 in 3 years
Tamada: 0 in 4 years
Roberts Jr: 8 in 11 years
De Puniet: 0 in 1 year
Elias: 0 in 2 years
Stoner: 0 in 1 year
Melandri: 5 in 4 years
Nakano: 0 in 6 years
Hoffman: 0 in 5 years
Vermulen: 0 in 2 years

So outside of Rossi who has a clear advantage, I don't see any rider having
a larger
number of wins. So I don't see how anyone could say Bayliss (with 0 motogp
wins)
is a deserving world champion and Nicky Hayden (with 4 motogp wins) is not.

 

Not that it changes your point, are you sure about that last one?

 

Note: Tamada and Pedrosa have two wins each

 

Why would Nicky winning races upset me? I'm pointing out that for a
works Honda rider his record is utterly pitiful and if not for the
backing of Honda USA he still wouldn't be riding that bike.

 

In World Champion terms I was referring to Troys SBK championships. I
never claimed that Bayliss had won a MotoGP one. But your stats on
Sete are interesting, how many came on what had to be the de facto
"works" Honda? And why did the Movistar team have to be the "works"
team that year?

 

By the tone of your posts, it obviously does.

How exactly does that refute my original post?

 

of course that was a mistake

 

I have no idea how I screwed up Pedrosa and Tamada. They were one of the few
that I knew without even looking it up.
