<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I really hope Jorge LorenTHO kicks Valentino's butt just to keep him humble. I'm sure Valentino is a bit intimidated by Jorge because he knows Jorge is a future champ. LorenTHO just needs to get back to how he was racing in the 250's, if he gets his confidence back Rossi is in big trouble.... let's see how Rossi handles the pressure next year on same bike/tires.
Stoner will still be the biggest threat for Rossi in 2009.
Lorenzo had access to all of Rossi's Yamaha-Michelin 2007 data this year, and he was trying to emulate Rossi's braking points and corner exit speeds at every track, and he crashed no ends despite being on a much better Yamaha and better Michelins than the 2007 models.
Better he sticks to his own parameters in 2009, for his own protection
2009 is going to be Rossi-Stoner again, with Lorenzo and Dovizioso fighting for the third podium position in a re-enactement of their old 250 battles...
Pedrosa could fade away, feeling the atmosphere between Lorenzo and Dovi too hot for him. Leave alone the white heat Stoner and Rossi are going to produce...
