Early Season Thoughts

I feel like Capirossi is gonna be done with after this year, he is doing badly indeed.

Hayden is having a rough time, i would be surprised if he worked his way into becoming a contender but expect him to sort it out and get stronger by a lot.

The title fight will be Rossi and Pedrosa

De puniet is an excellent rider and doesn't get enough credit

Olivier Jacque is nowhere near good enough for moto gp

The suzuki is a very good bike, the riders need to start winning

Barros is a constant disapointment (except for when he does well)

Edwards might finally get some results

Thats what i think so far, roll on Turkey

I'm kinda disappointed about the way Loris is performing this seeason. I know we only had two races, but I'd expected him to make a strong start this season. Hopefully he will perform to his normal standards next GP.

About Nicky..
I'm pretty sure he's gonna sort out his adapting problem, but the question is when?? Cause if it will take too long, he won't even have a chance of battling for the title this season, but tbh that ain't that surprising (not to me anyway).

I'm not too sure actually. I do think he will challenge for wins this season, but I'm not sure if he will be one of the main title contenders. Personally I think Rossi and Dani are better than him, but of course his Ducati could make a difference in some GPs. Eventhough I'm not sure whether he will be a title contender, I do hope he can prove me wrong, cause it will make thing more interesting for sure, and besides that, I kinda like him.

I think we will see lots of different riders winning races this year, but overall I think Rossi will take the championship quite confortably. I don't think Pedrosa, despite being the closest to him, can reguarly challenge him for wins, as we saw in Jerez. I think Melandri and Elias will come good towards the end of the year, as will Hopper. I think De Puniet will take a shock victory at some point, would be nice to see a Kawa on the top step.

I've had to tell you this before, yes they do unfortunately!

Rossi lppks strong this year, he is on a mission, I dont think anyone can callenge him. The Ducatis will be back on the podium on tracks where they can take advantage of their extra HP. I really hope to see Colin win a couple this year, he deserves it.

Dare I say this? Manufactures’ Final Standing for ’07:

Yamaha
Ducati
Susuki & Honda leveled up… oh my goodness, how did I dare!
Kawasaki… Lean Mean Green Machine or something like that!

PS. Just dreaming!
