So who's going to win

#1 Post by Gio » Wed Mar 07, 2007 8:21 pm

Dunno about the lesser breeds races, but in the premier then its Rossi, Edwards (2nd or 3rd) Melandri (2nd or 3rd) Hopkins (yeah really :smt003 )

DNF Pedrosa, Haydn the daygo will do what he's best at, removing people from the track (ala Xaus)

As for my reasons, well look where they stand after free practice 1 :smt036

We all know 2nds best of the rest.

But did you know this is Rossi's least favourite track? So it won't be the walk I think you make it appear.

rossi lost his crown last year

and rode a shite last race by his standards - i have a suspicion he will piss all over the rest this race, and probably for the rest of the season

Mr Rossi will surely slay all comers this year.

Either that or sign for Formula One.

Rossi for me as well, but Pedrosa will be very close all the way.

I also think this could be the year that Suzuki step up a notch, both Suzuki's tested very very well right up to Hopkins big get off and I reckon they could be a surprise package this season

I'd have like to have seen nakano win on a kawasaki, but now he's doing what honda tell him to do i dunno.

I say Capirossi, Rossi, Hopkins but i reserve the right to adjust this after qualifying :smt004

am very impressed with stoner getting there - the dukes don't like that heat at all, and that circuit doesn't suit them - look at wsb a couple of weeks ago
