Motorcycle Racing.?

Question

Whilst drunk and reviewing the GP races of Qatar. and being one to shout about young Scott Redding. I just realised that he got the lap record on sunday. 2:05.695 this compares with the pole time of Bradleys 2:05.242.

not only this but my other favourite tip... Dovizioso, held the lap record from lap 4 until lap 12 when Stoner(GRrrrrrr) put together 3 faster laps to break the rest. I still think these 2 are going to make this season. I know traditionally Qatar means nothing, and this year even more so due to conditions. but if I throw Bautista into the mix. have I got anyone worried in the tipping stakes. or will you stick to you Guns....? Ha Ha.

Answer 1

dont forget toesland 2nd in qualifing on your fist gp on a year old bike aint bad....

Answer 2

Hey Proc :)

You got me thinking.... But it is not only what you said. While I was watching the race the other day (I mean on Sunday) I was amused to see Dovizioso doing his thing. It was the first moment that I realized he has great potential.

As for the tipping... There is still time to think about that one but one thing is for sure - I'm still choosing Lorenzo for a spot on the podium. I got to the point to understand that where you stand on qualifications doesn't mean much in the race now does it? :/ And Lorenzo for some reason looks reliable.

I would be much happier writing every single time Rossi's name and earning points for that one... We have to be realistic and this year is going to be hard to predict who's winning, who's loosing (excluding Stoner... he's a bit boring with his all winning thing, don't you think? :D )

ok... I stop here before I start typing more pointless stuff ;)

Answer 3

Proc,

young Scott Redding surprized a lot off people including myself so top marks for tipping him and besides Dovizioso the other one which I think went well was Dani Pedrosa so think it is going to be a great season and think Rossi has made a mistake with the choice off tyres.

Answer 4

Great points, it would have been really interesting if brads damper never broke, i'm sticking my neck out here and tipping JT with a podium in JEREZ, also cant see DOVI touching ROSSI at JEREZ

Answer 5

well you did us proud tipping young scott unfortunately i missed getting my tips in having reminded everybody else too so i have ground to make up already grr ( again  As for the racing what a spectacle roll on the next round!! Casey did look impressive yet again on the red rocket talk about being made for each other hopefully rossi will lead the way nxt time out and bradders will clear off into the sunset

Answer 6

Hey Proc

I'm keeping schtum about my tips! But I liked the fact that they wanted us to choose; 1st place, any rider to place and 1st d.n.f. - made me think a bit harder but I only got one out of 3 right. >:o(

I think you've got it spot on about Dovi. this year - not only can he ride it like a bandit - he's got the best looking paint job in the paddock! Beeeeeeeauuuuuuutiful! don't you think?

Answer 7

I really dont where to go with this my good man.

You comments are bang on.

I guess the only thing that [ might ] have changed this conversation is that , if Braddder's steering damper had not of come loose.

Other then that, I'm 100% with you.

1 race in, & im a little bit to giddy already about the next race !!!
