I see Chris V finally gets to use #7.
He has always wanted #7 in honour of Barry Sheene who helped him greatly at the start of his career, but couldn't use it in WSBK because of Chilli and couldn't use it in MotoGP because of Checa. I'm sure his livery will use the famous Sheene crossed 7.

The number that raised my eyebrow was the number 4. I was told Dovizioso was allowed to race #34 cause nowadays it is motogp and not 500cc anymore. If that is true, than good on him to decide to drop the #34.

I think Andrea would propably respect Kevins achievements rather than go over him in this way.
Must be ehy he chose the number in the first place. Where is Gabor by the way?? |

Gabor not there must be a mistake.
I only see one Aoyama in 250cc. Where is S. Aoyama? The second Repsol bike is not there. I assume he will eventually, meaning both Aoyama's on a KTM. I also noticed a Yamaha back in 250cc. How old will that bike be... |

27 is better.
Nigel Mansell, Giles Villeneuve, Jack Villeneuve, Scott McDonald, Casey Stoner. All bloody legends. Infact, i'm not entirely sure that Doohan's first number wasn't 27. But don't hold me too that. |

You forgot Ayrton Senna if we have to talk legends... (he raced with #27 in 1990).

Not trying to get anything from anything. Just answering one question and asking another.

[Off-topic]
Alan Jones effectively pioneeered the #27, by taking Williams from nowhere to the title with it. They swapped with Ferrari (who had #1 and #2 for 1980) and the rest is sentiment. Gilles' best results actually came with #11 in 1979, but history forgets that. |

I'd maintain that the ledgend of Gillles were the two wins in that dog of a car in '81. Was that with 27?
Shots of him powersliding through Rasscasse stay with me till the day.

He did win those two with #27.....it's ironic though that Ferrari's most iconic number was made due to their uncompetitiveness though...
Any reason Stoner specifically chose the #27, with the Australian falg in it?? Have to say i preferred the years where the Top 10 riders generally took the number of their finishing position the previous season, but thats just me

I thought there were only three musketeers picked originally and they were all Spanish, Elias, Olive and Pedrobot.

Then again of course, changing the merchandise each season means the diehards have to buy more stuff to keep 'current', which would please the makers you would think..... But then again how many current riders sell merchandise around their racing number? (Apart from Rossi) |

Everybody nowadays has their number on their cap, so really everybody sells sells merchandise around their race number.
As you say I would try to finish the season in a different position every year, to gain more from new merchandise every year...  In Rossi's case it is more superstition than trying to sell more merchandise I believe. He is so famous and popular that he could have given up building a brand around his number years ago. To get back on topic, it has now emerged that Ducati most probably will help KR to the 2008 grid (with 2 bikes)! |
