Jerez predictions

I know we have 3 weeks left, but let's guess already!

Mixture of heart and head.

1. Rossi (He was very fast on race tyres here at the test)
2. JT (second quickest on race tyres for most of the test)
3. Lorenzo (because it's Spain)

Although I do feel like I'm forgetting someone.

1. pedrosa
2. stoner
3. rossi

Pedrosa
Rossi
Lorenzo

#1 Boy Jorge
#2 Rollin' Stoner
#3 Pedrochio

Vale will be in contention but will probably push too hard on one of his favourite tracks & wind up coming unstuck again & biting the gravel trap... or maybe he tries one of his "interesting" overtaking maneuvers in the final corner but comes out 2nd best this time?

JT to show good form again but lack of power will sink his chances...

Lorenzo
Pedrosa
Stoner

But maybe Toseland to beat Stoner

Mmmm, Barry mate! I'm quite fond of JT as well but c'mon, lets not get too carried away!

1: Horhay.

2: The Doctor.

3: O' Melandri.

A bit the same reason .... I just get the feeling whenever Stoner goes to Jerez ..... its not his track



But yes I do think Toseland is the goods. And he looked real good except in the big straight at Losail .... So Jerez could be good for him.

He seems a "gentleman rider of yore", ... ie. he seems intelligent, decent, professional and very fast.

I really would like to see Stoner kick his Jerez curse but there's also Lorenzo and Pedrosa ( both those guys, being Spanish, will mysteriously find an extra 10-15 seconds over the race distance ...




Mind you when Jerez is over I am straight back on the Stoner bandwagon probably I see China and Turkey as Stoner giveaways .... other possible definites for him this year are Brno and Laguna ( he was amazing there ).

1.rossi
2 stoner
3 toseland

i will always say rossi at the top as im a fan,toseland wants to impress so he,s a all or nothing ,stoner has the better bike yet again but he will come a cropper sooner or later.

thought the qatar race was good in the lights but i hope it doesnt happen elsewhere coz if it rains at any point then race over and the paying public will be robbed.

the floodlights are only suitable for low risk rain countries so the uk is a deff no no

too soon, it'll be a honda or yamaha or ducati.

I can garantee you 100% that Stoner will not win at Turkey this year

Why not?

I could go into a number of reasons such as tyres bikes and rider preferences but the main reason is because it is not on the 08 calander

Wise man, I'd forgotten about that.

I'd have to agree with you on some points. If JT had a little quicker bike where would we see him at Qatar. Jerez is a much more demanding track I think so lets see how he goes there.

His pass on Hohay was not too gentleman like, it was freaking savage. In the interview he said he doesn't knwo the riders yet so he didn't know that Lorenzo was going to do that. Hmmmm, you mean turn the bike in the corner. Guess I didn't see it right...

1. Rossi
2. Lorenzo
3. Pedrosa

6. Hayden (....)
