2. Edwards

Ellison for a top 5 finish though... yea right lol

Ok this one will be a tough one to call with injuries,a matter of who will heal fastest, so we cant rule Rossi off the rostrum for this,even stuffed em all last year in the wet, but,i will have to go with.......

1. Cardosa
2. Ellison

Rossi is a very good determined mood...so i'll put my bet on him...he likes donington soo...i'll say he's up to the job....

As the rest....i hadn't made up my mind yet ....maybe if it rains...a suzuki rider...else a honda...
Ducati is still on a low profile...we'll see how loris feels and if hoofer can improve...

I say
1) Rossi (His wrist will be fine and he loves this track as much as Mugello)
2) Hayden (Because he always seems to be second)
3) Melandri (Because he lives just 2 miles down the road from the track and he deserves it)

On an honest base I predict:

1. Rossi - He's the worst rider in Moto GP but I feel he's going to be a lucky boy at Donnington.

2. Hayden - Never heard of him, number 69, must be good.

3. Capirossi - Rossi's uncle, must be good.

Holy Donnington!!! That was fast....we're at midseason already...ok...here goes. Edwards is pissed! Had one in the wrapper but he blew it with the checkered in sight. I know he loves Donny but I feel like he's going go backwards on the grid on this one....his confidence might be damaged and his anger could cause him to hang on too tight...or he'll find the find the finish line this time with no one pushing..... Loris didn't look good at all, despite a heroic effort, I think he's going to work his way to the middle of the grid at best until he's fully healed.....I was impressed with Cruise Control (Stoner)...he didn't pip Pedrosa but it was close. Now I could go two ways with Hayden.....either he is now charged with good confidence and he maintains his consistency and even challenges for a win.....or.....don't hate me Ooost.....he'll get a bit over zealous and push too much....leading to a breakup to his streak of fortune.....its a tough call....only his second win....and then there's Rossi.....I must admit he's had the worst luck of most this season, but he always seems to take the hit and then come back like a madman.....18th to 8th...with a broken hand.....he'll be ready to strike at Hayden in Donny......

Head Says:
1. Rossi
2. Melandri
3. Hayden

Heart Says:
1. Rossi
2. Edwards
3. Stoner

1. Rossi (if healthy)
2. Pedrosa
3. Hayden

Head says:

If dry:
Rossi
Hayden
Pedrosa

If wet:
Rossi
Hopkins
Hayden

Heart says:
If dry:
Hayden
Stoner
Hopkins

If wet:
Hopkins
Hayden
Vermeulen



Either way, I'd love for Hayden and Stoner to be on the podium, along with a Suzuki. Could reeeeaaally use that actually.

No worries bud, theoretically he has the same odds of falling down as he does finishing. It's a part of the game.

1. Edwards
2. Hayden
3. Rossi

Rain will definately come into this, so im saying

Dry:

1) Rossi
2) Hayden
