Pedrosa has never won more than 2 races in a season. Things seemed to be looking good until the crash at Sachsenring.

Now that Vale and Casey are both on top form, does Pedrosa have any chance to win again this season?

If yes, where?
 
I say no, but not because I hate him.

I don't think he showed well during 2007 at any of the remaining circuits on the calendar except Valencia. Granted he was knocked out at RSM and rain got him in Japan. Still it seems to me that another Pedrosa win is unlikely, especially considering he has badly injured his hand again and Honda are pressuring him to use the pneumatic engine.
 
he's gone pretty well at some of the remaining tracks. Valencia maybe? He's also podiumed in Malaysia twice, although that's a bit og a bridgestone circuit.
 
I think the real hard part about this is the bogey pneumo...if it works....i think he might have a couple wins in him, but if it fails I'm not sure if he can run that fast with his injuries. Plus it depends on what happens in development over the summer break.
 
I think so. He seems to be empowered when racing in spain for whatever reason. I will never understand how home advantage makes you any better at what your doing, but then again I never had 100k plus fans encourage me at anything, so maybe the psychological impact alone is enough?

He should be 90% by Valencia. Rossi/Stoner will have clinched the title by then. Neither has a shot at any all time wins/points record since they are splitting the season. and won't really give an F what happens at that race.

The only way pedrosa loses Valencia (besides usual suspects of mechanical failure) is if the title comes down to that last race, and you know pedrosa can't win an all out dogfight.
 
I dislike him also, but voted he will win another race this year. Lots of talent, little personality. IMO
 
Yea.

Sith Dwarf is arguably the fastest, most consistent Michelin driver. I think the Bridgestones will be the weaker tire at a few races, giving Peddles good chances.
 
Pedrosa was perhaps my pick to win this year ........ right up until Sachsenring ...... nobody was going to stay upright at that speed in that rain ..... so I kinda wondered what he was doing ....... up until then he seemed to be riding a most mature season ....... but that was just weird .... so injured or not ..... the craziness was a bit unexpected for me ........ as to whether he will win again ....... well of course he will!! ... in Spain ...... even if he is in a coma he'd still win it ...... I don't know how but he does and will again. :lol

As for his pesonality ........ apart from the Sachsenring craziness ....I'm fine with him ..... but hey I'm not one who is keen on the Can Can dancing, talent show, TV serial, type "stories" in MGP ...... I just like to watch them ride well.
 
I wish that he dosen't make the podium ever again
<


My gut says he'll piss me off at least twice this season, when he not choking on the kitty litter.
 
Yea i think he'll definately win another race... it might cost Stoner the championship.
<


He won at Valencia quite easily last year.. so thats a definate possibility.

Potentially everybody’s favourite mousketeer could cost Vale or Casey the championship. I think that Vales poorer starting record give Pedero the chance to tie him up or even take him out more than it will Casey. He is the potential fly in the ointment for everyone.

I think we can write the fabulous flying Jorge off to next year though...

I think you mean Dani has not won more than 2 races in a season while in MotoGP. He won more than 2 races in 125s and 250s with 2005 being his best year with 8 wins.

And on which track he will next, well I think he could win at any track much like Rossi or Stoner...can win at any track....And as we all know, you can win the title without winning more than 2 races in a season....

The questions should be will anyone other than Dani, Casey or Vale win a race this year?
Or Which Honda rider other than Dani will be on the podium this year
<
?

And where do you read Honda pressures Pedro to ride the PV? Honda asked him to try again the PV, in the end, the final decision is in his hand whether to use it or not.

"After Brno, there will be two days of testing and Dani will test the pneumatic valve. At this point it's not known when he will race the pneumatic valve. It's up to Dani to decide as he's fighting for the championship. He'll see after the test."

I think Lexicon means Nicky is pressuring Dani to ride the PV, so that the bike actually gets developed in a winning direction

Probably

my point to Lexicon was that he SHOULD be more careful in make a statement... it is totally different between pressuring and asking... and as Toby said.. who needs a PV if standard valve gives him 8 podiums so far?

Nicky does!

because Nicky has won nothing this year.. how sad... Ducati seems a perfect heaven for him. I hope.
 
I think he'll win more than one race in what's left of season. It's a bit up to Michelin to catch up with Bstone and for Honda to make the new engine work.

My guess 3 more race wins.

Rossi knows Pedro is his ......

We haven't seen enough of Stoner vs Pedro head to head yet.... that would be good.
