I know rossi will win on a bicycle but wish riders will benefic from the reduction on HP. Maybe little guys like pedrosa should love it! I understand he is like 5' tall and wights 100lb or something like that!

Where does 'tacker' come from? Never heard that one before.
Does he use that box at the start of a GP then! He must be hanging off before the start! :wink:
I also heard he doesn't sleep much before a race. Some guys have lucky socks, pants, shirt...Pedrosa takes his race tyres to bed...

What's amazing is the two guys picking up the bike and turning it around at the end! :shock:

I'd hurt myself if I tried that with the R . . .

Chris...the term 'Little tacker. must be an Aussie thing..it's a term used to describe small kids..like toddlers...crawlers...etc.

Here's a great pic of little Dani on the start line of a race.

where'd you find that pic! Brilliant, exactly what I was thinking. :)
He'd go well on a minimoto!
