Until your beloved Honda release their Yamaha-eating, Ducati-crushing multi squillion dollar 800. Or Rossi goes back to his old ways

me too, but odds are its gonna be one or the other. Maybe our best hope is both. The doctor using his skill to stay at the front, and the Honda army using their bikes to keep up. Perhaps that`s the future of close racing. There is hope!

Think Gibbers will make the podium and not Cappers? I know it`s in Spain, but Gibbers isn`t exactly taking to his new bike like a Duc to water, And Capriex is as comfortable as ever.

Hard to say who win this one. Before (last year and before- you understand me) it was easy you just had to say Rossi and you weren't wrong. But now things are not so easy anymore. He has a challenge. He can't win the title by a mile anymore. He's behind in the table so he'll have to fight hard to get back up. But the door is wide open for Hayden, Capirossi, Pedrosa and Melandri thay can win race or just be on the podium and that keeps the season intersting.

My heart says:
1.Dani
2.Capirossi
3.Rossi

am i wrong if i were to say that rossi's whole challenge and struggle this year has brought a (much needed) stronger sense of humanity and warmth amongest the field?

Rossi doesn't seem like a faultless robot that is far superior, anymore. He is able to lose, and the rest of the field is actually providing some competition.

just a thought...

I agree totally. I remember looking at promising riders last year and thinking "They might take a win" but then I`d remember to win you have to beat Rossi. He was definately a win hog last year

That`s because Rossi`s only human. You can`t compare him to Doohan

its not something that can really be compared...

two different riders, two different backgrounds, two different eras...

we can only look at statistics and see what might have been, but the bottom line is they're two dominating riders in their days
