here's praying for a good race, and i cant wait to see the moto2's. They better be on the red button.
 
I think its a Stoner race today BUT if Rossi is close or wins then hes going to be red hot favorite this yr

Not sure on the tyres there's been a good few low sides this weekend.i hope they dont fook the race for some riders

If stoner gets a good start and rossi does a rossi start and get swallowed in the pack for a lap or 2 i think stoner will run away with it and win by several seconds, If rossi can get a good start and hang on to stoners coat tails and hassle him through the race we may get a fight.

I think it is going to be a crazy start. I think rossi and everyone else knows they have to get in front of stoner to have a chance. Pedders from row 3 should make for an interesting start. RdP on the front of row 2 should add to it.
 
Btw - anyone know what became Depuniet's Playboy sponsorship? I guess even the .... industry is hurting from the economy; that and all the free stuff available on the net. Speaking of ....... I see Stinky is back, and still shooting from the lip.
 
Not sure it will matter if they manage to get in front of Stoner at the start.He has had a history of waiting few laps then going for it towards the front ( eg. taking Pedro, Lorenzo then rossi in the space of one lap ) then getting away.
 
The key will be for Rossi (or someone else fast enough) being able to slipstream Stoner in the long Losail straight. We'll know that at the end of lap 1. If you see a bike right on Stoners' tail along that straight when crossing the line, then we may have a battle

kesh i saw the bunny logo on the team shirts yesterday so they are still be providing support.
 
i think were gonna see a stoner rossi fight & a seperate fight for 3rd. unless stoner pulls a dissapearing act in the first few laps we'll get a fight. lorenzo, dovi, depuniet, maybe capi & pedders will be dukin it out for the 3rd step........

I've a feeling there is more potential to be unravelled by the Ducati in this race and they KNOW it; the past three days seem to have been all too easy for Stoner; so convenient that he could've been sandbagging all along.. while the others appeared be riding on the limit.. It is not going to be too safe to pull a couple of overtaking manoeuvres as in the other circuits given this track's conditions. I predict a boring race or a risk-prone one. Nevertheless I'm excited after waiting months for the start of the season

He's OK, I heard the doctor's report on Italian tv. Nothing broken

if stoner gets away in the first couple of laps, then it's pretty much good night i think. here's to an exciting race though (hopefully!)

Where does playboy even get money anymore? Like you said with net ...., they are obsolete.
