Roll up roll up laydeeze an gennermen it's MISANO TIME!!! Rossi gonna do it? Lorenzo gonna fight back? Marquez gonna take em both out? What about Suzuki as this is a slow track? Tyre probably won't last but hey, they could be fun for a few laps - especially Hero Man Vinales! :Watching: So then beatches, who's saying what for the big race? I reckon Rossi's pumped by his surprise win at Silverstone and will be riding like hell to capitalise on his slender lead. Lorenzo can't afford to lose though and will want to claw back Rossis points lead. Ah jeez I think I just pissed myself with excitement, again. I'm going for a Rossi win. Lorenzo second if it's not wet/damp, otherwise he'll be in the back handing out sandwiches to passers by again. Third... That's a hard one eh? Will Marquez stay on? Could it be show time for Bradley? Ah jeez I DON'T KNOW!!! Arrgghhhh!!!! :Wideyed: MASTERS at work: (watch HOW quickly JLo picks the bike up at 00:20... he ain't doing THAT 'weighting the inside peg' ) Some right painful looking ones here: Some right looking ones here: Ah then again, could be: 1. MM 2. VR 3. JLo or, or Arrrrgghhh!!!!!! :Arghh:
I think it will be a Marquez win, or Lorenzo but not Rossi. Plus the Suzuki won't have any particular advantage as the fastest part of the circuit is off of a hairpin and it's raw acceleration they lack as well as ultimate top speed. Basically I think it will be status quo! Would like pedrosa just to go and destroy them all though, just to upset the form book
I am looking forward to it sitting in my hotel room in Rimini. Just waiting for the sun to get a bit higher before I hit the beach for the day. Love the atmosphere here so close to Rossi's home
I'd be shocked if Rossi has the dry conditions pace to match MM and JL, just don't think he's quite 'there' with them in the dry. I've gone for Lorenzo to win.
That's a good point! Top man! Yeah I tend to stay beach side in Rimini when over that side, good chilled out place - unless the world cup football is on!
As much as I want Rossi to win I just don't think he has the pace in the dry. I hope I'm proved wrong though.
Check out the quick laps. Rossi is there with Jorge while Marquez is able to do a killer lap or two but similar pace otherwise. Rossi stars from 2nd or 3rd row (or worse) and that gives a 2 sec lead within 5 or 6 laps. Unless there is a bike or tyre issue you will never get that back. If he gets a front row, I'll change to Vale, Marquez, Jorge if Marquez doesn't crash and take Rossi out
I haven't voted for my gran but I do have my 84 yr old mother with us. She tagged along with us to get out of going with my sister.
Had the pace last year, going to be difficult but not impossible, any place in front of Jl will do though.
Does Ducati not get a look in for a sneaky podium or a win? they have been testing there a fair bit at the moment, this is the Ducati forum we should be predicting a Ducati to take the top step of the rostrum every race :Hilarious:
Yeah I read (MotoGP. Com I think) that Ducati have done a bunch of testing at Misano too... Be interesting to see how well Ianonne goes
