Philip Island. MOTO GP?

Question

With just under 8 hour to the first practice. any predictions for sunday morning. I think Stoner at home is going to be on form. I would love to see Rossi take the rest of the season just to set up next year. But if I was going to make a bet - for some unknown reason - even to myself- my money would be on pedrossa.

I would like to think that the texas tornado was getting the same machinery as rosssi, just to prove something to himself. A small parting gift should we say. What do you think - before qualifing starts.........?

Answer 1

I also would love to see Rossi run the critics nose's in it, but I feel that Stoner is on cloud nine at the moment.

A mate from work asked if Phillip Island " was the one with the long straight?" [he was meaning just in Aus] and figured that would win Stoner the race from the start then. I then told him, he was on the podium at Muggello!!! That wipe's that therory out!

I figure:

1) Casey #21

2) Vale #46

3) Chris #71 ( to thank his team for the 08 contract )

********** ********** ********** *********

1) Lorenzo Land Flag Time!

2) Hector

3) Alex

********** ********** ********** *********

1) Pasini

2) Gasbor

3) (yes you've guessed it already!) Bradley Smith.

Answer 2

Hey Proc

Well, qualifying has started and Stoner is where everyone expected him to be- top of the table.

I do expect the home team advantage to play a big part this weekend - and with them having some wet weather already, you've gotta like Vermeulen and Westy for places too.

However, the Honda riders seem to fancy it, and Rossi doesn't roll over for anyone - it's gonna be interesting but I don't have a prediction..........yet!

Answer 3

I agree with Wiggy, the 1st places belong to Casey, Lorenzo and Pasini :)

I'm hoping the new paint jobs to bring luck to both Vermulen and Rossi.

It's been so long since the last race that I just can't wait!

Answer 4

Casey Stoner won win, hes never really performed well on Phillip island.

1st Louis capirossi

2nd Rossi

3rd Vermeulen

Answer 5

Would love to see Loris be first   and then Casey and Colin in the next two places,so hopefully it will be a good race and can,t wait.

Answer 6

There is no way Edwards will get the same machinery as Rossi, Rossi won't have it.

While there's no doubting Rossi's talent, he's a prima donna and doesn't like it when 'lesser' riders beat him.  Edwards will always play 2nd fiddle to Rossi, who will make sure of it too.

While Rossi is by far NOT a spent force, he will be up against it on that Yamaha thing he rides.(and for the rest of the season too)

Pedrosa, is a wildcard for this race, Stoner is No 1 pick to win, but don't forget Melandri.

Answer 7

I hope Rossi wins, felt sorry for him the last race. Just hope it's a good race, especially if I'm gonna get up early to watch it.

Answer 8

hi mate been away for a bit not been on laptop she would not have it you no how thy get  yes i to would like to see old rossi do well for rest of season but you no stoner is going to like s- - t well i am going  right out for Colin to win he likes philip island well once he did as for the rest lets hope thy all get in the way for a bit and have some good raceing dont let stoner run off with it better set clock now shes pulling her face   she says i wake her up shouting at the tv

Answer 9

You got there before me!!

I would like to see Vale, Colin and Randy D P on the podium, in that order

Would like Dovi or De Angelis to be on podium, but Lorenzo will probably win

Pasini, Talmasci and Smith for the 125's

Roll on 2008!!!
