If the factory Ducati's dont shine this weekend, there is a serious problem. They dominated here last year, even against maybe the best Superbike rider we have seen.
 
Six rounds of action packed WSBK race weekends, meaning 12 races vs. only 2 races to date in MOTOGP

I'm going to go with



Biaggi

Haslem

Rea



Haslem

Haga

Fabrizio



although I think it's quite evident that something is wrong with Ducati.
 
not sure how it will effect things but being at altitude the aprilia may have the advantage



Max

Rea

Haslam



Max

Crutchlow

Haslam



not sure who's got what injuries.

The Duc to bomb at altitude
 
nice to see ppl still believe in haga this season
<
i would love to have him in the top 5 but my pick is



-haslam

-biaggi

-jt
 
I think the Aprilia is going to struggle at such a bumpy track. Checa will almost certainly be strong again and i seriously hope Haga can get back in the game.

Hopefully Haga can put it closer to the front in the next practice, it's apparent the other factory Duc can run at the pointy end.

It looks like we can officially stick a fork in Haga, he is done. Father time whipped his ... in the off season.
