He should do better than Lorenzo in the wet...

10. Vermolen

Rossi
CV
West (Bin it or win attitude for Westy)
Im hoping for mixed weather conditions, I really want to see how Georgey boy handles a wet track even if its only in practice. A nice pitstop race would at least make it interesting.

Friday is supposed to be dry and windy, they should get in good practice
Sat is supposed to be wet and dry so if they qualify in the west expect the grid to be mixed up
Sun is supposed to by dry and very little wind and slightly warmer temps.
Should make this an interesting race if they qualify in the wet.
In that case my picks are
Rossi
Stoner

Dovi (maybe Pedrosa)
Pedrosa (maybe Dovi)
Hayden

Lorenzo
Caparossi
Edwards
Hopkins
Toseland (sorry, he just doesn't know the track)

weather.com says the weather is gonna suck this weekend. Rain and high winds on Friday and Saturday.
Practice is going to be screwed up, normally that favors Rossi since he knows the bike like the back of his hand, but he's trying to learn how to set up the stones.
No idea how this weekend is going to go. Maybe it will end up favoring someone with an outside chance.

They must have a different weather.com in Texas
. Here in california it says the rain stops at 4am on Fri and clear but windy all day.
The rain doesnt start up again untill 11am on Sat through qualifying. But even then is just scattered showers.

The question is, who will go slower than Lorenzo in the wet? Last season wet races put him behind ALL of the factory riders, he better have raised his game at least a bit. I doubt we can make this entire season withouth a wet race, so we'll find out eventually

hi to everyone this is my first post on powerslide. Also doing motogp manager which is fun!
For Estoril
1. Stoner (with no clutch issues this year)
2. Pedrosa (looking like caseys major threat this year)
3. Valentino (because he's valentino)
4. Lorenzo ( you cant dispute his talent
5. any number of riders about 15 seconds down with no chance

All this talk about the wet, I think that we should add another element into the equation. WIND. If its windy Pedrosa will win because there is nothing for the wind to grab on to. Or is it the other way around, he is so light the wind will blow him like a leaf? Eh Hayden for the win anyway.

As soon as soon as it stops raining I'm sure everything is going to be dry immediately. That 55 degree sun is gonna bake it right up for the morning session. It won't even be slippery on the edges
May not ending making any difference when it starts or stops; they've downgraded precip to 30%.
