Repsol Max

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2004/May/040517ms.htm
Biaggi is gonna' ride in Repsol colours from now on and (presumably)
finally get the full-works bike he's been yearning.
Look out Gibberer!

 

Things culd get quite interesting if Max wasn't on the best gear
before and will be after...

Max could always keep up with Vale barr his crashing on the Yam. He'll do
great this year

 

But it will be Gibbers year...

 

I wonder what his excuse will be now then.

He hasn't done too badly the last few years...

I don't he's necessarily going to get a works bike at all. Just some
new decals on his bike.

He hasn't done much to show Honda that he's "the man" so far this year.

Three rostrums, once top honda, twice top non-works Honda (beating two
works Hondas) & second in the championship (behind a works Honda).
Who else do you reckon deserves promotion?

The 3 Repsol bikes are the offical works-team,thus far they have been beaten
by the semi-works team.[Gibber]

I just wonder how much superior the offical bike is over the semi-official?

Anyway, Max is more interested in beating Valentino [and v/versa] then
winning the race,i think they should let the old wound settle and get on
with getting the Italian flag back on the top step,that means you too Loris

Italian round next is going to be the biggest battle between them 3 of this
year,cant wait,reworked Ducati,all new revised Aprilia,Rossi/Yamaha
refocused should be great looking foward to it

Gibber-now has been on a top-spec, full works bike ever since Kato's crash.
Honda promised 6 works bikes this year for the Repsol, Telephonica and
Camel teams but then renegged and only gave Gibberer and Hayden full-works
status (i.e. the top rider in each of the top two teams.)
when Barros finally got out of his Yamaha contract and signed into the
Repsol team they upgraded this to three and included him.
That's the gospel according to AMCN.

Let's hope it's more than just a sticker-job. On equal equipment I don't
think Gibbernuts would see which way Biaggus went.

I don't reckon Rossi would be able to beat him on top-spec Honda factory
gear, either.

 

Neither did Randy Mamola.

OK you win.
According to this site http://evilurl.com/facialtittyjism Honda publicly
deny that Gibberer is on the "A" list.

Not a matter of winning,HRC have picked and made public its riders on the
"A" [Repsol] team months ago:

1.A Brazilian,a has-been [why?]
2.A Yank,low-racing form thus far [future potential?]
3.A Jap because he is a Jap [because haonda is a Jap,fact]

Shows how much skill they have in grading riders )

Depending on what Yamaha give Rossi/JB to work with,if Max/Gibber cannot win
this year they should be fired,

all that is missing from the A-Team is a Spaniolo,perhaps next year,Repsol
will insist on one

I think we will see Ducati come into winning form soonest,enough playing
around and running up back with the spastics

CDIHL

 

You mean Rossi and baggirl both on = kit, or rossi on the shitty
yamaha?

 

Eh? Who's the Jap?
Sure Kato was on a works bike but he's not really riding anymore (despite
what Gibberer keeps saying!)
Tamada's certainly not on A-Spec stuff.
Clem

 

Yes Tamada,the story i heard was he would get a works bike if he agreed to
run Bridgestone[Jap!]tyres

He of course is Max's Camel team mate but may?be painted Repsol colours like
Max

Sad but LOL

The bike is, he is not,will we EVER see a super-brilliant Jap rider?Not for
want of haonda trying,pouring in huge sums of money to get a Jap to win the
Championship.Doohan use to bitch a bit that Okadas engine ALWAYS had more
grunt then his.Japs look after their own first....

CDIHL

 

I think Biaggi still has fewer 500/MotoGP race wins than Mamola.

Nev..
'03 ZX12R

 

HAHA what a load of crap. I bet he cries himself to sleep every night atthe
thought of never having won the Championship... especially when, for 2 years,
Alex Creville and Kenny Roberts Jr were the only serious contenders.

Nev..
'03 ZX12R

 

Though he has just as many championships in the open class.
