Catalunya Predictions

Talpa · May 29, 2012

Depending on weather of course

1. Jorge-too good at home

2. Stones-ready to retire

3. Rossi- a good finish here last year, best chance in the dry with all of the testing

4. Pedders- Battle with Tech III

5. Cal- Stays on-new brakes

6. Dovi- pissed being beaten by his teammate again.

7. Nicky- much more on song here

Hayden - doesn't hold back this time and embarrasses everyone

Stoner - watching Hayden ride the Duc like he used to

Ben - Finding the hidden parts he and his crew couldn't find the first four races.

Lorenzo - Wondering what happened to the plan

Peders - Settling for consistency

Dovi - Brembos and bimbos

Crutch - Bimbos and brembos

Rossi - Still developing

Edwards - CRT masterclass

Rest...

So for the lead I'm not 100% sure. Lorenzo and Stoner could battle with eachother near the end after Stoners tires fade, and since Lorenzo is at home and at a track he usually does so well on he will probably end up winning it. If that doesnt happen then Stoner has a mediocre start, gets first by the 3rd lap, and dominates. Pedrosa will either grab second or somehow get into the mix in the end and win.

Spies finally stops jacking off instead of making a good setup, Dovi and Crutchlow behind by like at least 5 seconds battling with eachother so Monster gets seen on the coverage more, Rossi should be behind them since I predict the team will start to get the hang of the brand new bike since they should have had enough testing by now. The rest is a scrap, except Colin Edwards should be well down because he'll be in some pain most likely. Either Randy De Puniet or Espargaro are top CRT.

no big surprises

1. Stoner - yawn

2. Dani - throwing it down, finally

3, Jorge - respectable & steady

4. Ben - my last good prediction for him, in spite of the supportive PR rah-rah coming out of camp Blue, brutally disappointing

5. Bautista - Honda turning the screws on the b-parts bikes to stop the TECH3 army

6. Hayden - just have a feeling

7. Dovi - because Cruchlow DNFs

8. Rossi - I got nothing

9. Bradle - only because everyone else raised their game

10 Barbera - no new bits for them

,, it could happen

3 - im sticking my neck out here but cal ( dare i say the first podium)

4 - pedrosa

5 - dovi

6 - rossi

Would all change if it rained. If it does i can see rossi pushing for the win this time

cliche guevara · May 30, 2012

stoner (people are too quick to write him off)

lorenzo (as always tries his best but stoner will be a little bit to fast to attempt a pass)

spies returns to form and the podium after a good battle with pedrosa

tech 3 guys

bradl

the rest

spooky · May 30, 2012

I can see Lorenzo extending his lead here,

Then Casey (i think chatter may be an issue this weekend, if its warm)

Cal

Pedrosa

Rossi

Dovi bins it whilst braking into turn 1 (he forgot about the larger calipers...)

J4rn0 · May 30, 2012

Pedrosa.

Dani has to deliver, now.

He holds the Catalunya record lap and he'll try to start from pole and just take off, and bye bye everybody. He can just do that when he has a good day.

1. Pedrosa

Then we have Lorenzo and Stoner, maybe a bit cautious thinking of the championship. So they could let Pedrosa go if he's seriously fast and maybe fight a nice duel for second place.

2 and 3 (interchangeable) Stoner and Lorenzo.

Then, the fallen alien... Rossi. After the morale boost at Le Mans, if it rains he could even fight for the win, but if it doesn't he'll try for the top five. But there are many riders aiming for those two remaining spots. Crutch, Dovi, Bradl, Spies (who badly needs a good result), Bautista (home race) and Rossi. And Hayden. Practically all of them!

Don't worry about it. Perfectly lucid here. I am going to look like a genius on Sunday.

Jumkie rule in full effect.

You know, considering Rossi was only 7 seconds off of race winner Stoner in Catalunya last year, he could do really well!

levigarrett · May 30, 2012

Rossi podiums and all of a sudden Talps comes out of hiding to start a thread?

A Bop resurgence is upon us!

I'm hoping for a dry race although the wet races seem to provide the most entertainment for my buck!

If its dry, the usual three. CS, JL and Capt. Dani.

If its wet, I have no idea.

Hiding?? Not lately

only Boners do that after not so good race results

Normally can't get in quick enough to start threads, this time was an exception!

IonBlaster4 has reaffirmed my prediction though, only being 7 seconds off the lead last year, on top of a second place last race, Rossi and Ducati must be feeling confident going into this weekend.

I still believe Lorenzo will be very tough to beat, but its fairly unpredictable at this stage. Dani has to perform, I don't rate him as an Alien anymore, he needs a big win to reignite his season-can't see this happening though with Stoner and Lorenzo on track-I believe Dani may even struggle with the Tech III this weekend.
