Capirossi first race in Turkey. Rossi looking to break records and gain the leadership. Hayden looks hungry for victory (first race 3rd second race 2 third ?).Melandri and Elias hoping to enter in top 4. Sete hungry for succes and lets not forget Stoner and Dani. Who on Earth know what it's going to happen!? I don't konw but this is what i hope for:
1.Capirossi
2.Rossi
3.Pedrosa

Dont think Dani will get on the podium. I`d like to think so, but he`s not in Spain now.

dani is red hot fast on most straights but one thing he needs sori two. wooden blocks on his shoes

and being able to break later and when he does learn to brake no one is gunna stop him, bet he cant wait for 2007.

Apparently the braking will not improve much, he is so light that the front wheel will block if he brakes harder. He just can't put enough weight on it.

Kato was broght up on raw fish and rice, like everyone here. Makes em light as. Pedrosa is just the closest living relative of the dwarf.

One name that hasn't really been said to have some success at Istanbul is Toni Elias. It was here in 2005 that Elias locked up his season best grid position at 6th and season best finish of 6th. He went better there than anywhere else so I'm expecting some big things from Toni this weekend. Any comments?

I don't know what to expect from Toni, he had impressive pace at Jerez but was quite average at Qatar. I know he was sick, but I don't know to what extent his lack of pace was due to the illness.
I think he'll be around 5th position in Turkey.

Right now Rossi, Capirossi, Hayden and Pedrosa seem to be a step ahead of Toni. And Sete, Stoner Marco are also pretty close. It's going to be a tough race for him.

Yep Elias is worth watching in Turkey, he's got to have a good feeling about the track after last year.. Dani and Casey will be hot too, fitness won't be as big an issue in Turkey. It's great just having a whole bunch of riders that could make the podium or even bag a win.

Good point about Elais, Ooost. But like they've said theres a lot more faster traffic to work through this year. It would be good to see Pedrosa and Elais do well outside Spain. I think their good results at Jerez had a lot to do with home turf. I eagerly await to be proved wrong (On the track that is, not in the forum by Teo)

I'm not gonna make any predications this time (never get em right anyways!).............expect for I think its going to be a bloody great big battle for the top 3 spots........there so many riders that could be up there, however I suspect that it will be down to Vale & Hayden.

should be good............3 week waitsaint much fun though!

Well that not a good sign really is it? I mean, look how Melandri re-overtook Dani numerous time at the 1st turn @ Qatar...............I think he will improve on the brakes....or maybe he just had issues @ qatar?
