Will we see a re-surgent michelin field after the summer holidays ?

Dunno, fancy using a booze-cruise to France as a cover to find out?

Seriously:

MAYBE they might be equal to BStone, but they still have quite a bit of work to do.
 
I hope so too - it will be a most interesting end to the season. rossi has bridged a gap of this size before but he's going to need a DNF from Casey to make it realistic in my opinion.

fingers crossed

Fingers crossed for a DNF? Is anyone really that low? :?


NO - fingers crossed that he bridges the gap - not that I mind how he does it thos. If Stoner happens to fall off/the bike packs in/the tyres fall to bits........ then so be it.
 
michelin man in therapy. doc say's you must get in touch with your innertube.
 
Its been a bit topsy turvy this season, you'd have expected Rossi to have been stronger in the first half, but that hasn't been the case. If anything, Stoner should be even better in the second half... so they're gonna have to get their fingers out pronto.

You can be sure a company of that size won`t be twiddling thumbs in the summer break.


Nor will Bridgestone though!

Heh. Like it. I reckon Michelin will not close the difference after the break. Next year, maybe. I think they have been caught on the hop by the new regs, and B'stone have adapted much better. A company the size of Michelin - making it change direction is a bit like turning a tanker. It takes time. Meanwhile, B'stone make them look like idiots at some tracks. I think this tyre war is great.
 
i'm not so sure that michelin is gonna pull somethin out.

up coming tracks brno, motegi, sepang have been bridgestone tracks in the past couple of seasons. pi is a good track as well for the stones. that leaves misano, a big ? mark for all, estoril & valencia. the stones went very well & won last year at velencia as well as estoril! so unless the michelin man can pull some super rubber out of his ... then it looks like it's gonna be a bridgestone 2nd half of a season.

Goes without saying.

Oh poor little Elias...I feel so sorry for him...He desrves all he got this year after doing what he did to Val in 2006 that cost Val the WC'p...

But our little hero will be up there and ready for any challenge boys/girls...Stoner will .... the 2007 WC'p Innnnnnn!!!...Mr. Val won't be able to do nothing...Sorry Val...You are my second favourite!!!
 
I doubt it most likely will be the same as before, rossi will win a couple and people will think that but I doubt it will be enough baring a complete hayden like 2nd half
