2012 predicts

I predicted a title for Jorge and things to go .... up for Stoner, However, I don't think anyone could have predicted Spies total meltdown. Unbelievable. Hopper has had to take a year out to get his head round the level of ..... that Spies took GP to this year. Get well soon John BTW.



The other thing that blind sided me was Dani racing a motorbike. Actually racing, not getting the holeshot and doing laps, he even overtook people for gods sake. Amazing the effect that getting your arse kicked by your team mate, and having the next big (sorry wrong word really) Spaniard joining your team next year can have on a lad.



I also predicted great things for Cal, he has so nearly delivered, but he suffers from red mist. To say the least!



I had hoped, but not held my breath for more from Rossi this year, but didn't happen. I also expected Dovi to be up there, and to be honest thought he went off the boil a bit as the year went on.



So I was right with some of my predictions, but miles off the mark with others.
 
I predicted Casey not only to take 2012, but '13 and '14 as well. It turns out I was quite wrong. I had Lorenzo in second. Pedro third. I was hoping for some progress from Rossi and was quite wrong there as well.



I expected Spies to win a race or two. I believe this is where I was most wrong.



Overall, I was very wrong about a great deal of things at the beginning of the 2012 season.



Oh, I was also wrong about Cal, I was thinking he was going to finish up his contract and back to wsbk.



And I was wrong about me riding my bike through Death Valley again in 2012. I was very busy with work.
 
i was wrong about rossi improving at least a little bit.



I didn't expect Dovi to do so well, or pedro for that matter



Spies was a shock to everyone i think.



I was predicting lorenzo would win and thought he would at least be way closer to stoner this year than last, so im glad that it turned out that way.
 
I predicted Nicky would win the title this year. You got to admit, I was pretty close. He made the top ten.
