Looks like the mighty Honda's plan is coming together though... They wrote off Rossi, either from them being stupid or too proud or whatever, to concentrate on the future. Yes, they've been smacked up for the last 2 years, and quite possibly this year too if Rossi does his normal trick, but they had 4 RCV's leading most of the race, all with pretty young, very talented riders...
Throw in Elias who seems to be getting it on, and I'm sure they'll be replacing Tamada soon with another future hope (Vermuelen poached back??), and they look set to get back to their days of Repsol team domination very soon. I'm sure Yamaha and the rest are worried...
