Dovizioso,Lorenzo or Toseland?

I think that lorenzo and dovi has an advantage a bit. Because i have heard,do not remenber where right now, that 800 cc motogp´ monsters need be drive as 250cc like to get most of it.
Of course electronics´package help but it does not make things happens easily so. Who better "learning curve" does that means "undestanding " how bikes goes in very track, wasting less time can at the end be "crowned".

Don't forget Alex De Angelis as a rookie as well. I think Lorenzo will be in the end because he is on a better bike.

jaimeg · Nov 27, 2007

¡Thanks a lot !

¿How did I forget him?

Tom · Nov 27, 2007

Lorenzo was pretty far ahead of the others in 250, i think he will be rookie of the year.

Bikergirl · Nov 28, 2007

My vote goes to Dovi.
True Lorenzo was ahead in 250 but he was also on a better bike.

Haga2 · Nov 28, 2007

Lorenzo or Dovi for sure, not sure which though.

Spies all the way!

babelfish · Nov 28, 2007

Dovidenja
Lunatic
and the Angel
all have one major advantage over Tosser and thats track knowledge.
If JT is the real thing he will have no real problem to adjust to the MotoGP bike but track knowledge is an advantage that can not be overcome by three hours of practice.

I'm quite excited about these guys they are all good and they show that in the time tables allready. The question is how good Lorenzos bike were last year compared to Dovi's becuase that's where I think the fight will be.

My bet is on Dovi

Tell Lewis Hamilton that then.

Heart: JT

Head: Dovi

Heart: JT

Head: Lorenzo

I like seeing sbk riders do well b/c, as you all know, I despise the small classes because they are responsible for bringing the horse jockeys to GP.

Anyway, it's going to be hard to bet against Lorenzo if he can keep a cool head. He's sitting next to Rossi, if you keep a low profile, Rossi's Yam pitbox is a good place to pick up a few tips.

I don't think DeAngelis or Dovi have a chance unless Yamaha has complete meltdown in 2008.

But Hamilton was in the F1 support series GP2 so he was in the same position as Jorge, Dovi and De Angelis are in now.

bigdonwizzle · Nov 30, 2007

I'm hoping James Toseland will get it..

like i said hoping

But there were several circuits he'd never seen and he did rather well on most of them. I believe that Laguna is the only circuit the 250's don't do.

Everyone hasn't raced at Indy before either but so have most of the riders.

teomolca · Nov 30, 2007

Yesterday Lorenzo did a race simulation and was quicker than Rossi in the GP. I'm impressed.

and i don't see that changing in 2008.

Lorenzo has a factory yamaha and Dovi has a crappy Honda with little support.
