MotoGP Barcelona - Spoilers included!
Discussion
Brilliant race last week, thought I'd ask you guys for your prediction for this weekends round in Barcelona?
Pedrosa is quickest in practice today and didn't do half bad last weekend, looking much improved. I reckon Pedrosa will do real well - home circuit and also they should have improved the bike slightly based on last weekends round's stats.
I would like to see Rossi close the championship on Stoner for the simple reason he's a superb personality. Don't know if you guys have noticed but Stoner appears to be very stand-off ish recently. And poor old Pedrosa likes to celebrate in his room apparently
So, although I think Pedrosa stands a good chance, I'm going for Rossi 1st, Pedrosa 2nd and Stoner 3rd...
Let's see!

Yeah, you gotta love Rossi. I think Stoner maybe starting to feel the heat a bit. Pedrosa will do well, but Rossi will be on fire, I'm sure.
Yeah, I think Rossi is going to be at 200% on race day - should be good. I reckon he might not hang around so much on the victory lap - some of the fans looked a little over excited last weeked!AFAIR - Randy Mamola had the garage door shut on him right after the race last W/E when he wanted to interview Stoner which didn't go down too well 
...whether this was Stoner or Ducati (or both) playing the prima donna I dunno.
Trouble is Stoner (to me anyway) just has that err....well...look of 'brat' about him
which probably doesn't help his 'racing with the big boys' image.
Can't deny he knows how to ride a bike though...and let's not forget that effectively Rossi barred him from entering the Yamaha team in favour of CE for 2007

That was only a rumour,doubt there was any truth in it?The way the seasons gone so far, i'm sure Rossi would be delighted to have Casey in the team. I can't see Casey in the same posistion in the Championship aboard the Yamaha?
Not too sure about Pedrosa this weekend. Last weekend he said the bike was as good as it was going to get but he still couldn't keep up with Rossi and he didn't want to push it harder incase he stuffed it, which kinda rings of some predictability problems, perhaps?
Rossi's taken five out of the last six so probably looks like a safe bet.
Ducati have little experience here from the last couple of years so my confidence isn't amazingly high for Stoner, who isn't a great fan of the track.
Rossi to win. Stoner will take 2nd place after catching a slip-up by Pedrosa in the later laps.
