I predict Casey will win this one.



If Casey doesn't win, my predictions:



1. Nicky Hayden

2. Who gives a ....

3-21 Invisible to me



(The following is a courtesy announcement: For anybody whose tired of reading words, you can move along now. )



Final prediction, I predict the righteous and unbiased league who treats all their riders evenhandedly will produce a special commemoration for the most successful rider since the end of the 990 era. Probably something as big as they will surely do when the other rider retires who was the previously most successful rider since the end of the 500 era. It will probably be so huge, this being his home farewell GP, that there will be people waving flags and crying in the stands at the fantastic tear inducing special program that surely the league has been putting together for months now. I wonder what it will be? I'm tingling with anticipation. Maybe some yellow fireworks perhaps?

What, like holding a special ceremony to mark a corner being named after him?
 
i really hope casey will pull this one off. don't know how bad the ankle is and whether its a big handicap for the race , but if its ok he will win this.

to be honest , if you can win PI 4 times on a ducati you can probably win it without a right foot at all
<


if hes fit we should start counting the last 2 races as the mundiatlito. casey deserves a last title before retiring.

pedrosa in second, bradl 3rd, hayden closes the line on lorenzo (again) to make him crash like in 2009
<


other than that i'm hoping for a win by espargaro in moto2 and some good vinales ... kicking by cortese



edit : i want hayden to win valencia.if theres a guy that deserves to win for ducati in the post stoner era, its him.no doubt.

I don't know if Stoner can win this one, Pedrosa got some ridiculous upgrades and the only person who seems to be able to get near his pace on race day lately is Lorenzo.



Looks like it will be a wet race, so we will see:



1) Pedrosa

2) Lorenzo

3) Stoner

4) Hayden

5) Rossi

All other riders crash out.
 
Cant believe the season is almost over. Still cant believe Stoner is retiring. We are being robbed from watching maybe the most electrifying racer the world has ever seen, because DORNA could not stand to see him succeed, especially at the expense of their chosen one. He said just this week, that the 2012 RCV was the best bike he had ever ridden, UNTIL, Dorna, for some reason decided it would be a good idea to change the tires that the bike was developed around. Can we not run off that stupid .......... Ezpeleta and keep Stoner.

I don't think he should have retired. He should have stuck around and made it work, at least for the fun of being a continued thorn in the league's side. He just couldn't take pleasure in getting a rise out of people like I do I guess. I said it last year they should name turn 3 "Stoner curve". I didn't expect my wish to come true this early.

100% Agree



and before some ppl realised what was happening it was too late



look what we are left with
 
Phillip Island, it's Stoner's, 100% fit or not. Would be surprised if he doesn't win it (and I certainly hope he does).
 
Casey's race.



Final non semi scripted win in motogp.



I'll still be watching moto wrestle though.



Seriously, It's Dani then Casey, Then Horhee



Then a bunch of others.



Valentino getting all chipper because he only has two rides left on the bike the taught him how to ride, not just come first.



Hayden wondering what all the fuss is about.



Randy and Colin on the phone to motorcycle world employment services.



Or thinking about a commentary job.











the end of the fuss over the yellow puss dripping with red blood

The scourge you see had infected motogp and the greatest ever

was the main victim you see



Such unheralded calls



The peoples champ, the marelli pirate and Michelins poet

Had taught the new boy a lesson and don't we know it

10 races a reason on this red motorcycling gift!



I'll get 12 and beat Doohan, your hero, you piff

There will be no doubt about the status of goat!

He entered the ring but then fell back to the ropes



Gasping! On his knees! Crawling to his corner!

THis bike is the worst there's ever been!

The last excuses were a little funny.

And it came down to the question of money.



It was so much better back in 2007.

But it cost less than a chicken roll

from the 7/11.



Because the yellow wave crashed into the Italian camp,

with more money than the national economy of Sweden or France.

And all of Honda's Horses and Yamahas men.

Couldn't but the egg atop of the wall again.



And atop the wall is a sacred podium

That we know know in all its tedium

It only meant for the few, the chosen

Ask KK what happens if you win again?



Wrong passport. Sorry.

We won't even let you begin again.







Hail Stoner, and after three days he moved a rock....
