MotoGP question...?

Question

Ok, with only 12 weeks away to the first GP, who do you think will be the Top 5 when it ends in Valencia.

Ideally I would like it to be

1. Vale

2. Marco

3. Dovi

4. Casey

5. Dani

But think it will be more like

1. Casey

2. Vale

3. Dani

4. Marco

5. Dovi

Same riders in both. I think they will be the top runners next year. What do you think?

(BTW Got my Rossi replica Mugello 07 heart helmet - just didnt pay £10k for it or get it hand delivered by Vale - had to make do with Royal Mail!!!)

Answer 1

Hey Festive Cheryl,

Glad you got some helmet for Christmas sorted!

I think you've got a pretty realistic  line up - but like Wiggy  I feel Nicky Haydon isn't done yet, and the Honda's are looking pretty hot to trot.

I don't think they will be the only ones on the podium next year - but I do think that they may be the ones who can stictch together a consistant string of results.

But truthfully - I don't have a clue, and that's why I can't wait!

Have alovely crimbo girly,

Woof woof

Answer 2

1) Vale

2) Casey

3) Vermulan

4) Marco

5) Lorenzo

Or to put it another way Bridgestone 1 -4 with Michelin runny a lonely 5th !

Answer 3

Hi Cheryl H.  

I hope its going to be too close to call. so much talent and firepower out there.

In reality its too close to call. isn't that great.

I really can see it being the best season in years.

Answer 4

I think that HRC wil be much closer this year.

1 Pedrobot

2 Stoner

3 Rossi

4 Melandri

5 Hayden

I would love to see Elias near the top, but that is my heart ruling my head, i think that Dovo will be the best rookie, and hope that Toseland doesn't score a single point! What a Tozer he is! hehehe.

Answer 5

Hi Cheryl,

Good question and 12 weeks does not sound that bad - thanks for cheering me up.

I would like it to be

1. Vale. - still the best out there and no one can serioulsy convince me otherwise..

2. Loris - just a great guy who rides for all the right reasons.

3. Nicky - my opinion of him as a person has reversed totally over the past couple of years. Top bloke.

4. James T - not just because he is a fellow Brit but because he too brings so much more as a package and realises that the fans of this sport deserve more than just an automaton in a leather suit and helmet riding the bike fast.

5. Dovi. - he rode so well in 250 on inferior machinery and just go on with it. His talent deserves the opportunity and he also has an element of class about him,

However I think it will be

1. Vale - he will want to come out next season like a rat up a drain pipe.

2. Casey - the man to beat again and on my favourite manufacturers bike.

3. Dani - sorry I don't have any time for the guy. He has the personality of a haddock but a very good rider.

4. Nicky - if Honda show him the dedication he shows them, then hopefully they will give him what he needs. This man shows more class as a human being than any other rider in that paddock.

5. Marco - not so sure about this actually. A great rider on his day, tough as boots and I hope that he adapts to the Ducati quickly.

Enjoy the new lid just hope the weather allows you to get out on the bike ti use it.

Answer 6

1. Stoner

2. Rossi

3. Pedrosa

4. Lorenzo

5. Melandri

Answer 7

I'm a dani fan, only because I like argueing with my hubby as he's a rossi man.  I'd like it to be 1. Dani, 2.Rossi, 3.Stoner. 4.Melandri, 5. not sure.

I know its a dream but it might happen.  Okay never.

Answer 8

Hi Cheryl,

            I am a bit biased being another Australian, But I think:

  1. Stoner (go Casey!)

  2. Vale

  3. Marco

  4. Dovi

  5. Dani

  I reckon you have maybe hit the nail on the head, though. Been a great season.
