Who's gonna win the Catalunya GP ?

Dry
1. Rossi
2. Stoner
3. Pedrosa

Wet
1. Rossi
2. Vermeulen
3. Stoner

Last year's race was a hell of battle. Even Rossi didn't win, that was one of the most best race I've ever see..

Rossi is very strong in this track, but if it is wet, than he has to spend more time with his wet B'stone.
If Honda give Pedrosa pneumatic valve than he'll can handle Stoner in the straight.Although it maybe still very hard to beat Rossi.

Just a guess,
Dry
Rossi
Stoner
Lorenzo
Pedroboring

Wet
Rossi
Stoner
Vermulen
I don't think Pedrosa will beat Stoner to the finishline unless Michelin find some miracletires,like Valencia last year.
Stoner will be very fast from now on i think,in every race,and really go for the win.But then there is also Rossi and Yamaha ofcourse.

Stoners back on form, Dani is starting to need a win and may have the new engine to help hiom along. I fancy Lorenzo will want to be back on the podium and will bring the speed to back up that desire, but all three will struggle to beat an on form Rossi at one of his favorite tracks. In other words, the usual lot at the front!!

(summoning the "Fortune Telling Powers of Random Accuracy"...)

1st: Rossi
2nd: Stoner
3rd: Pedrosa

Considering the Championship dynamics, and taking last year's Catalunya GP into account, when there was only two Michelins in the top 9 (one of them since switched), I'm predicting it will be hard to keep up with the top Bridgestone riders. According to reports, pneu-valve Honda is dead in the water, for now at least. It is said Pedrosa doesn't like the power delivery, and rather have the jump on all corners (that, in all honesty, he has) than the top end in some straights.

Lorenzo may or my not be a factor for the podium, depending on whether the Mugello crash had consequences, physical or psychological (that move was a case of over-confidence), but I very much doubt he will challenge for 1st or even 2nd.

That said weather over Iberia is all fooked-up! Despite Catalonia very serious drought, rain over the weekend is a possibility. If so the "Fortune Telling Powers of Random Accuracy" are telling me "You're on your own, son!..".

my prediction also but it is danis home track so he may give that little extra thats needed.

i think rossi is now on a winning streak for a couple more races and it will be a battle for second with stoner and pedro. i think then ducati will sort there handling issues and honda will get more power from the new engine and we will see much closer races from then on with stoner and pedro winning some.

yesssssssssssssssssss

isnt catalunya the track where we have seen some stunning controlled powerslides in the past gib/rossi/capi???

its a dam shame that these days there not so intense.....

anyway my prediction is

1 stoner/rossi
2 stoner/rossi
3 dani

with rossi fueling his confidence he is going to be a hard man to beat stoner also, if rossi gets a setup where he can ride like he wants im sure he will win.
