Rossi is the man, but you gotta wonder what head games he is playing and what his motives are. Everyone in the paddock knows Nicky has been slowed by development work of the 06 bike. Unlike and Melandri and Pedrosa, he has been jumping from the 05 to 06 bike for most of the test. Maybe is he trying to discourage Yamaha from re-considering Nicky after he leaves for Yamaha. I dont know what Pedrosa's times are over a race distance, but I would be surprised if he runs upfront consistently. If testing times are all that important, he (Rossi) should've mentioned that the Kawi boys who did very well timing-wise last weekend, will also be key rivals.
