Talmasci as well for me that I voted although Valencia is Héctor Faubel's home country but still Talmasci I think is going to be champion.

Most likely ... Talmacsi, still I'm hoping for a Spanish 1,2,3 with Faubel winning the race and the title! ... (a fan can dream

)

tamalci the old fart should stop beating up kids and get the fk out of 125cc, step up already buddy.

i hate it, it happens at all levels old riders staying in lower grades just so they can beat up the newbies.

hes 25, hes beating up 15year olds who been road racing for 1 to 2 years.

comon 125cc is for new aspiring riders, not has beens and never will be's.

125cc racing is a world championship in its own right, the age limit is a real shame because it has taken away from the excellent series there once was for the benifit of the motogp class.

I really hope gabor wins, and i am starting to think he will. But a single slip up from either rider and its over.

Faubel won Valencia last year, but Talma got a Honda into 8th place. So they both have pretty good form here too!

Plenty of other "younger" riders have been doing well (Pasini). On the same token Faubel used to race with Pedrosa I believe, so you could reason he is sandbagging as well. If 125cc is to be only for "younger", up and coming riders, then wouldn't you reason they should not allow riders to jump direct to MotoGP without going thru the ranks (like Hopkins for example). To be honest, I like the idea of people going thru the ranks towards GP, as Rossi did. But honestly I didn't see Talmasci nor Faubel "beating up" anyone this past year as neither is dominating.

tamalci is only an average rider. but he makes up for his lack of talent by his years of experience.

thats why he isnt completly dominating.

even 15 year olds can compete with him, though when your cometing against such young opponents usually experience wins out.

The top 8 riders of the 125cc championship are all +20 y old with several seasons of experience, so if Talmacsi wins it'll be a well deserved victory.

And IMO Talmacsi is more talented than some guys in MOtoGP and at least half of the WSBK grid.

Still GO FAUBEL!!!

To me the practice times are looking close, with the big players staying at the top. As it is no i would expect (and Hope) Talma to be the champion by finishing on the podium. However this is 125cc racing and anything can happen, i'm so excited!!!!
