I think Dani will be 4th... maybe. If its wet i still think Vale will win.
 
Are you guys forgetting how ..... the Michelin wet tires are? I don't expect Rossi or any of the other Michelin guys to be up front in the wet. Look for the usual specialists...Chris V, Melandri, etc.

Dry:

1. Stoner
2. Pedrobot
3. Rossi

Wet:

1. Chris
2. Marco
3. Casey

Nah im talking about the little bars you see sometimes at the bottom of the screen that show stuff like how much throttle or brake theyre using, oor what angle theyre leaning at. I don't know how accurate the information is, but it's still pretty coool stuff. Esecially the lean angle ones. Are they new this year?
 
It's supposedly real-time telemetry, I don't know how accurate it is. I think it's a bit of a gimmick and more of a distraction than anything.

Not to me either. It's almost impossible to be 100% objective as a rider, and he's pretty close to the reality when he descibes it.
"Rossi want's to stamp authority on the race" True, but so does Stoner.
"Questionable moves" where probably where he wet his pants when he tried a pass at the end of straight. Assuming his rocket-powered Ducati would get him out of trouble, it must have been pretty scary to see the current race leader crossing his path right in front of him on the race line.
He was probably furious when it happened, and to me that's quite understandable, not that he was right, but you do get scared out there and that does twist your opinions. And then he somooths it out: "That's Racing"

So, in my opinion, it's not whining, it's just a riders opinion and who are we to say hi's not entitled to one?
 
also do you think any of the bridgestone riders will use the 16" rear tires that they are bringing to donny? I read they will at least try them in practice..

So are you predicting that Casey Stoner wont start the race or won't finish considering he is not in your list at all??????
 
DRY RACE
Stoner
Rossi
Dani
Hopkins

WET RACE
Stoner
Vermeulen
Hopkins
Rossi

(if West rides for Kawasaki i would chuck him into Wet Race the top 4)
 
Will be a very interesting race .... Rossi loves Donnington and there's no doubt it suits the Yamaha over the Ducati as there are no long straights. However, Stoner has been surprising everybody recently and, especially along with the fact that the Bridgestones seem to work far better in cooler conditions than the Michelins, i think it could be close between these two. Pedrosa did great last year but that was on a different bike.

If its wet then if the wet Michelins perform better than the last wet race i think it'll be Rossi, Melandri, Vermulen.

skint

rest to follow in similar order to my dry motogp.com prediction...time to go change it to a wet race prediction if I can...

woooooooooooo
 
I've refrained from making a decision till now, as they were so badly off that I've come up with an ingenius prediction formulae.

1. The guy who rides around fastest
2. The guy who is slightly slower than the fast guy.
3. Pedrosa.
