<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Babelfish @ Jan 29 2008, 11:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>To early to give even a qualified guess on that one. Their biggest problem might turn out to be that they don't have a champion rider right now. Allthough I expect Pedrosa to do well I just can't see him dominate Rossi and Stoner. So I voted no.
Here is my prediction. If the Michelin riders do better than Rossi, then Babel will say Rossi is suffering from poor tires. If Rossi does well on the Bridgestones, than Babel will say Rossi is so much better than those Michelin riders.

Anybody got any times?
1720 hours at PI now. Dorna are certainly slack with the times for pre-season testing; I even tried to sign up for the testing package to no avail.

Yeh, but you would think that someone would be covering it. Usually there are reports at least a couple of times in the day.
If you mean the motgp site, they are hopeless.
Most reckon it is the worst site around. They will stuff up your preferences, and you try to get it changed.
Anyway, still waiting for todays reports.

I signed up for the winter testing package for the first time. - Never again it's a waste of money.

Too right. I can't see what they are charging for with no live timing and no video for the winter tests. I guess that they won't get the gullible ones next winter so fck em.
However I will need to pay for the season next year as i'll be in Oz and the terrestrial coverage sucks. It's not whether they'll show it, it's more WHEN, which is annoying when you set the recorder....

They show all the racing (all classes) live on cable; no practice though except pi.

No venom buddy,
Just pointing out what may not be obvious to the casual on looker about your bias to explain results.
Tires have become the front to spin (rationalize) the results when a certain somebody doesn't perform.

You must have missed all my post of the lack of power in the yamahas
But I fail to see what this has to do in this tread to do what so ever.
My post had no excuses or preferences except who I think is the two better riders of the three top contenders. From what I wrote you should (without your special glases) see that I actually asume more or less equal tire performance for the three, and I still don't see Pedrosa taking it home.

So I predict you will later go back to your old habit of blaming the tires and even seeing catastrophic failures for a certain Yamaha rider.

I had forgotten you were a ways out of town - near the sunshine coast?. I think I would rather live there than have cable too

Nope, Boonah is about an hour SSW of Brissie, near the Dividing Range, between Ipswich and Warwick. I'd definitely rather live here without cable than in Melbourne (where I had cable) though.
Where are you based?
