Rossi will have to have the yamaha and his head very well sorted for LeMans if he's going to have any chance at all. Considering the problems that he's complaining about, LeMans will accentuate them all. Hard downhill braking, accelerating out of slow corners two of which involve hard acceleration AND direction change at the same time. There's only one real fast turn at LeMans, the decreasing radius approach to turn 1 and you're on the brakes half way through that...chatter city!

I predict a field day for the Hondas. Yamaha and Ducati are going to struggle. The Kawasaki and Suzuki boys are in with a chance of mixing it a bit in the top ten depending on how the 'stones last the distance.

1. Melandri

2. Hayden

3. Stoner/Pedrosa

If it rains who knows?

I think Skid is right, the Hondas will feast at Le Mans unless Yamaha have got their new frame spot on out of the box which I highly doubt. A stop and go track with a big, fast right hander, sounds a lot like Brainerd...

Not making any predictions till after FP and QP.

The ducs might do Ok if those bloody weird `stones are up to it. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes crap.... They really are halfway between Michelin and Dunlop.

This is way too painful. Come on Rossi! Gibernau! Capriex! God, right now I`d take Hopper. Just not another Honda!

Head says ....

"If I make a prediction the Gods will turn against me and those riders I choose will crash or get a DNF or do whatever it takes NOT to finish close to any of the positions i have allocated"

Heart says ...

"If the oompa loompa can do it, so can the pot head"
Therefore...
1) Stoner
2) Hayden
3) Gibbers ... cmon dukes!

Would sure make things really interesting, and if Loris bagged another win it would do wonders for the championship but somehow I don't think it's likely.
