[ Proc, this video shows when Dovi took JT52 front away and caused the crash ]

Rossi has never lost at Mugello on a four stroke. The last 500 race there in 2001 rossi binned it while in the lead. It was white & blue surfer paint job.

As for Caparex, the Suzuki is not fast enough, nor is Dovi's Honda. The ducati will be quick as always, but will it be Marco.

The only two riders to break Rossi's winning race streak here are Casey & Lorenzo. Jorge might be busted up bad, but with 14 days to recover, he will fighting fit.

As for Casey, we know he has the talent, and we know he has the top end.

Tough race to call.

My money is on The Doctor. £10 infact at Corel !

Your thought's please real race fans.

Answer 1

Me too (typing supersticiously carefully again :-).

Miguello is Rossi's track and after the last two GPs he gained the confidence he needed.Last week has been much of testing for him and after all is well with his machine I see him as the biggest favourite for the winner trophy.Moreover it is in his home country.

Hmm,Lorenzo,he's not going to give up ,when has he done so...When he's on board it is not going to be easy for any of the other riders.

I'm eager to see what Pedrosa and Stoner will do.Le Mans was a very troubled experience for Stoner and his team,so I bet they have been working day and night to improve the tech.

We all know how skillful Dani is and I bet he's mad and willing to prove himself after injured Lorenzo finished before him in Le Mans.

Answer 2

Hi Wiggysan. bad clip to defend JT with he looks a long way back to me.  

As for a GUESS as to Mugello before practise. Iv got to go with Rossi too. I think Stoner has fuel consumption issues, I think Lorenzo is on the wrong tyre as is Pedrossa, But what about The Honda wild card, I forget the name now (maybe Tady) Honda's test rider on the Pneumatic valve we have been long awaiting. if he goes well in practise, whats to stop the ped jumping on it for the race ???  I still think the bridgestones ability to get away quickly when cold is the difference Rossi was shouting about last yr. its not a problem for him now. and he beat Pedrossa on Michelin's by 3 seconds last yr.  I will be watching the practise sessions with interest.

Answer 3

Oh, I really cant wait. Unfortunately cant make it to Mugello this year and will miss it so much. The best atmosphere ever!!!

Nice breakdown Wiggy and video too - thanks!

Im definately going with you - the Doctor to win - Lorenzo and Pedrosa for podiums!!

Answer 4

Hi wiggy

I think the above have called it with the usual suspects, and Vale at the front of them, hopefully!

p.s. How mad is the weather at Donnington today??!

Answer 5

I'm backing the Doctor all the way as usual!! But.... u kno how things can go, maybe Dani if he's determined enough(like h**l yea!), maybe Casey if he gets dat bike sorted. Expecting a great race as we had in France!

Go Vale ;-)
