That's true. I honestly don't know what's going on with Dani. Anymore than I understand what happened to Stoner. To be honest,in the last couple years,it has seemed as if only a few riders can keep their shit together at any one time.

Dani is simply inconsistent. To add to his worries those magic tires actually did take some getting used to. When he has someone mentoring him and mentally massaging him he does OK but when he has do get it done on his own he struggles. By that I mean when he is fast set up wise he can click off the times, but when something, anything upsets his confidence he just can't rebound or ride around it.

Well Vale didn't switch tires midseason. He ran Michelins until the end of 07 and then had all winter to work and test the Bridgestones.

And talk about injuries. What a year. Dani, Nicky, Hopkins, Lorenzo, I think Capirossi missed a round or two...It has been a rough season.
