The other riders have enough experience at Laguna now to make it just like any other race in terms of track knowledge (not so much for 250 graduates). The home advatnage will be worth something, but i don't think enough to win.

has there ever been AMA at Indy?

Sorry Nicky I voted for none.
The Laguna advantage is gone, and I'm not sure about Indy. He adapted to Istanbul pretty quick in 05 as a new track to all, but that would have been at the height of his powers.

Don't think so, fresh track for everyone.

I know, it's rotten, I'm sure Nicky could win the raffle at Laguna.

, unless some miracle happens (ie Rossi Dani Stoner and Lorenzo crashing between them in the last lap and Nicky taking the 1st , from 5th xD), well it might win one of those tho there's still a month and more to go and work with his bike and see wut could happend that day

Sorry, you have to make nice with TC to win an AMA superbike race. Tommy isn't big on TC either, so little bro would really hate it.
I'm afraid Nicky doesn't have a chance unless serious improvements are made at Honda. The extra work required to lug the additional 20kg he lugging around seems to be too much for the Honda to overcome. I'm not enthusiastic though, every team in GP bought their pneumatic tech, Honda seems to want to attempt to do the donkey work themselves
It also appears that he has sold his soul to the testing department again. I'm sure he'll get the bike as good as possible for the U.S. races but I'm not holding my breath for a win.

i rekon Colin is more likely to take Laguna than Nicky.
Colin winning a race? Are you serious? Hahahaha... that's the funniest thing I've read all day. This is Colin Edwards we are talking about right? Hahahahaha...
Could happen.

i'd be willing to have a little flutter with anyone who thinks Nicky will finish higher up the order than Colin ?
