Answer 1

Hi wiggysan.I did in some way,but i also put him down for a win and Pedrobot for second.Good result.Good race,I think(was up at the crack of dawn for the one twenty fives,and was drifting off in the middle of main race).What happened with Stoner?.

Answer 2

Not me :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))...

after the 2 podiums in Estoril and Jerez he gave a bid for the first place,but the best thing is the way he won it,that's what I call champion's performance!!! (good pics).Bridgestone must be very dilighted having 2 riders on the podium.The new tyres seem to be working !!!!

Answer 3

Hey Wiggy

You'd have to be a bit shortsided to think that Rossi is on his way out - he's just relishing the challenge, and enjoying the kudos when he proves the riders the most important thing on any machine!

p.s. got the honey off me keys - thank you very much!

Answer 4

Never count the Doctor out!!! I always back him for the win (wrongly sometimes lol)!! He really needed the win today and put in some excellent times a few laps from the end!!

Answer 5

Hi wiggysan

Great result for Vale. As I've said before, I would never rite him off. But I still think he's lost a little credibility and bargaining power within Moto Gp. Unless of course he can carry on like this for the rest of the season (or at least for another 3 or 4 races, when it'll be contract time). Its gonna be a tall order though!

What seems ominous for me is Lorenzo's 4th, with the injuries he had. I have a hunch that fully fit, he would have won that. (Which for me points to tyres, although I don't doubt Jorge's  skill and ability)

Anyway, although I'm pleased for Vale and the championship, it wasn't a good result as far as my tips were concerned. I had Casey down for the win and Vale to place. Oh well, never mind. There's always Le Mans in 2 weeks.

Answer 6

Hi Wiggysan. Now we know how fast the Yamaha is on both Tyre's, The race pace was awesome. I'm just wondering if the fuel situation slowed down Stoner. I'm not making excuses for hI'm im just surprised at his pace down the straights and his inability to keep up around the corners. though Rossi was flying and Pedrosa just stunned me with his pace. I don't think that people will stop saying he (Rossi) is still on the wrong Tyre's seeing the job Lorenzo did with 2 fractured ankles. I still think he will prove it the right choice. He can get up to speed quicker on the bridgestones and that's where it will count. we did all say this season was going to be great. No disappointments yet. and no sure winner either.

Answer 7

He finally won and I missed it!!! Tell me if that is not bad luck!

As for writing Rossi off, never! There is a reason for him to have won seven championships. I really can't wait till the next race. It's gonna be all great fun. I don't believe someone can predict who will win this season. Four races have passed and each one is getting better and better...
