<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ May 19 2008, 06:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>it maybe the fastest bike out there but 41 points behind the leader and 38 behind loreznzo and dani is a very tall order. i think he may claw back a few points throughout the season but thats it. mugello may have a monster straight but half the track is tight twistys where i think they will loose a lot of ground.
with that in mind im going to change my prediction.

rossi
lorenzo
capi, i hope
poison dwarf.

I have to go with Rossi for the win after two great wins here in the last two years, plus he's coming in off the back of two victories so everyone else is going to have to be above the top of their game.

My predictions are always wrong but I'm not going to pull a Burgess.

1. Hayden
2. Rossi
3. Stoner

Hayden asks to run the pneumatic engine and he gets it. He climbs back atop the 2008 frame he ran throughout testing. The air valve engine finally works.

Everyone is stunned and pissed.

Its all Rossi. I was at Le Mans to see him win which made the ride home that much sweeter. I will now be at Mugello (close to my home) to see yet another Rossi win.

He has always been dominant here, even last year with a crappy bike. In addition to this his confidence is back which plays a big part in winning. When Stoners confidence was through the roof last year, he was smoking the class and could do nothing wrong.

Rossi is not a 7 time champ for nothing.

Braaap!

Okada will be running at Schumacher pace and be lucky not to get lapped. Strange nobody seems to be picking Edwards for the podium, hasn't he shown everyone he's the ....!

1. Rossi
2. Pedrosa
3. Stoner
4. Jorge

Remember the movie GOOD FELLAS....In the bar scene, When Robert Deniro is STOMPING the .... out of the dude Joe Pesci just stabbed in the throat with a pen?






That'll be Rossi doing the STOMPING

The pen in the throat was out of Casino. Deniro (Pesci and Liotta) were stomping on the dude in the bar in Goodfellas. They consequently put him in the trunk of the car, stabbed and shot him then buried him. Don't wanna get these mafia guys mixed up .

As long as the GS gets in the top five I am happy.

I think it would be hard to predict because every time Rossi has won,he has been on Michelins.
But then again he somehow manages to go as fast as he has to,with some kind of set up that Burges has come up with.
It's hopefully going to be close between Rossi and Stoner because Ducati more or less have to be up there this race,on homesoil and everything.
I think,if it is dry all weekend and in the race it could be even closer:
Rossi
Stoner
Psyco-megaboring Pedrobot
Capirossi
Lorenzo
Dovisioso
I don't think Lorenzo is going to be on the podium because it is such a fast flowing track were you need to have the right line for many turns in a row to not loose a lot of time.And have the right exit line for the next turn.He seem to take a lot of risks and maybe he is going to make a mistake now when he is injured.
By the way ,did you see that thing he did in France? If i remember correctly it was in qualifying.
He ran straight into the gravel from a fast turn,couldn't have his feet on the pegs because they are injured,so he had even less control,then he went straight onto the track again without even looking if there was another rider comming because he was totally occupied by making the little jump on to the track again from the gravel. So he came back on the track in very high speed and would very likely have crashed badly if there was an other rider there. Very dangerous driving to say the least.
I really hope for Capirossi that it stays dry all weekend and that he can make it to the podium.

I remember that, it is a particularly dangerous part of the track. Stoner had a nearly identical run-on there in 06 (i think). Apparently they are changing the run off to half tarmac next year.
