M1's chassis is very "match" with Assen characteristic,so I guess :
1. Rossi
2. Stoner
3. Lorenzo
Sorry phleg, I've got you again...

1 Stoner
2 Rossi
3 Pedrosa
Agree with the comment about Ducati raising their game. Did anyone notice how much quicker to the first corner at Donnington Stoners Ducati was than those around him .... they all seemed to get off the line equally well but by Redgate Stoner was several bike lengths ahead. I'm not taking anything away from Stoner, he rode a great race and the fact that no-one else on the same bike was even close to him says a lot about his ability. However, if his bike is that much quicker from a standing start then at a track with eryv slow corners surely that's going to help a great deal in terms of lap times. Yamaha have caught up a bit, top speed wise, but i still think they ( any everyone else ) has got a lot of work to do to get on par with the Ducati's accelaration out of slower corners.

I've been to 4 gps and have never been there when Rossi has won, hopefully this time he will.

agrreed, waayyyy too early.As we all know,. the learning curve is very very steep from WSBK, even steeper from AMA, but he definitely has the desire, talent, and intagebles
top ten would be spectacular IMO

It's a fight for the best setup between Rossi and Stoner. The wether are unstable and that can play a big role even if it's dry on Saturday as it did at Donington. Rossi with his B.Stones need all the time he can get or some luck to hit the right setup.
However Assen have really only two places where pure accelleration play a big role and top speed play no role here so the Ducati advantage will be minimal compared to most other tracks. Thats why my prediction is that I will sit a few metres from the chicane and see Rossi pass me first of everyone at the last lap
1. Rossi
2. Stoner
3. JLo hopefully.

Lorenzo was pretty good there last year. I've got a feeling that Pedrosa will crack this weekend.

Spies is never gonna win a race, Hopkins hasn't yet and Chris only managed it in the wet. Americans are not the greatest on wets.
Assen
1. Rossi
2. Stoner
3. Pedrosa
Its becoming pretty predictable the first 3, in any order really but i think Assen suits the yamaha really well.

what pressure, hes only lived up to the standards like tim henman, english cricket team, english soccor team. there used to it
the only decent thing to come out of the UK has been hamilton, but even he is chocking big time
