You could be right, never seems to quite pull it together when it matters.

Hayden
Stoner
Lorenzo
Rossi

[rmuss]

I can't see much differences happening based on the last few (dry) races. I would say

stoner
lorenzo
pedrosa
cal
dovi

something like that.

Perhaps if it was a wet dirt track oval ...

There are some forecasts for a wet race this weekend though, so could be feasible ...

Really ? Oh...

[996 sps]

If the next 2 rounds were wet it would certainly spice up the championship.

Looks like Crutchlow finally has the right brakes for a 1000cc bike, what a joke!

Rossi to win.......there....I said it....I'm sure I'll be wrong but it's like QI and Blue Whale

[egor110]

Guessing who's going to win the gp boring, how about change to who's going to win moto2/ moto3?

[Darkslider]

I don't care, would just love to see Cal on the podium! Would be nice to see Rossi back up there in a dry race too, hoping last round was a new leaf and not a wet one off!

Dare I ask what these new brakes are likely to have cost?

Ive heard figures of around 60k Euros for the season.

Im also led to believe Cal only has the calipers and not the discs, which seems a bit strange tbh.

In fact, the whole fiasco is a bit strange.

[Turn7]

No.2 - Who ??!!

Brakes worth the dollar then Cal!

Repsol boys with big chatter, VR with a donkey.
