Melandri: 128 lb, 5'6"
Stoner: 128 lb 5'7"
Capirossi: 130 lb, 5'4"
Rossi: 130 lb, 5'11"
Hayden: 150 lb, 5'8"
Gibernau: 154 lb, 5'9"

skill differences aside if I was in a race against Pedrosa, he would need to carry his identical twin on the pillion to even things up.....

But taking skill into consideration, if he rode with his pillion on my bike and I was solo on his bike, maybe that would even things up a little?

or maybe not....
