2008 MOTOGP Riders / Teams ?

Question

Well I'm truly sick of "first bike" "mx this mx that" "wheelie bars for quads" and other rubbish NON racing questions, so here is a good one.

Rumor control is buzzing at the moment in the MOTOGP paddock, so here is my predictions.

Team Fiat Yamaha:

God & Lorenzo

Team Repsol Honda:

Pedrosa & Edwards

Team Rizzla Suzuki:

Hopkins & Vermulan

Team Eckal Kawasaki:

West & De Puniet

Team Malboro Ducati:

Stoner & Melandri

Team Konica Honda:

Dovi (without his number 34!)

Team Grasini Honda:

Elias (solo)

Team KR Honda:

Ben Spies

Team Pramac Ducati:

Barros (solo)

--------------------------------------...

No Tech 3. No Hayden. No Nakano. No Caparossi. No Hoffman. No Roberts (both) No Checa.

So, copy and paste that and tell me what you think.

Nice to have a "RACING QUESTION" !!!!

Answer 1

I agree with you with the whole "racing question"... I haven't seen one for a while until now ;))

I was wondering the same thing about the teams. I got to this point where I realized that there won't be so many changes :/ Honestly Lorenzo and Rossi will stay with the Fiat Yamaha team and at 2008 the whole battle is going to be between them and Stoner. I guess he won't be leaving the Malboro Ducati as the bikes are going pretty well and they seem to be made for him :)

as for Team Repsol Honda.. I'm sure that they will keep Pedrosa... But I can't really say anything about Edwards... I like him, he is a good rider... maybe if Repsol Honda takes him he will have a chance. Who knows? I'm interested in Nicky Hayden... The "big" star... :P this season he showed nothing! I saw him race in just the last race so the question is who is going to risk and take him? I think I can see him with the Marboro Ducati team.

I see the Kawasaki team keeping everybody :} both West and De Puniet (I find West pretty good in the rain maybe they need to fix their bikes and become good in the dry also...)

Team Rizzla Suzuki will probably keep Hopkins and Vermulan...

But then again.. If Lorenzo goes to Fiat Yamaha where is Dovizioso going? I heared that Rossi's team is wondering who to take... Honestly if they go with Lorenzo than the whole motogp won't be so interesting... I see in the face of Lorenzo a real competition. Dovizioso is also good but... I see him in a team like Repsol Honda or Rizzla Suzuki, Malboro Ducati, Fiat Yamaha... he belongs there.. I hope he gets in a place where he will show his potential...

I got so confused in my own thoughts that I have no idea what I have written so far :// Still.. it was nice to make a few suggestions... :))

keep the good questions coming... although I'm gonna miss a few of them and the race!!! but at least I'll have sth to read when I get back :)
