Do you think he could....?

Got to be a top five at least surely ?


Go JT !!!!!!!



They MUST not let Pedrosa get away this time, if he checks out round Donington, they will never catch him.

He certainly knows the track but then so does everyone else as they have all raced there before in MotoGP, 250, 125 or Superbike/Supersport.

He's finished 6th about 4 times now, home advantage must mean at least 4th I reckon.

I do think its dependent on there not being a big breakaway though.

Big, big pressure on JT, 90% of it coming from himself.

So I'm going to say bin or win, and every credit to the guy for putting in 110 % at his home GP.

if it rains, jt may well be up with the leading group but being sensible if i was to put money on any of the non factory boys it would have to be the texas tornado colin edwards, he is amazing round there and iirc held the lap record at the circuit for a long time on his old telefonica rc211v


jt has the talent but i think the gap between his bikes and rossi/lorenzo's m1's is more than people realise.

then again yamaha could just give him everything they have as its his home gp and its a huge market for them, personally i think that the surprise of the weekend will be nicky on the pneumatic honda..

But Donongton isnt a fast track, its a flowing one that suits good handling, Rossi and Pedrosa have to be favourites.

The moaners Duke wont get into its stride I dont think.

So, the Tech 3 squad have a very good position I would say.

It's his best chance really. I think...not...if I'm being honest. He's putting in astounding performances at tracks he doesn't know but even so...just think he's a little adrift of the front runners. He's the leading chaser.

Mind you...they have been unknown tracks...I'm changing my mind...yes, yes he can.
