Don't see Pedrosa being a threat at Laguna either way.

Wouldn't say that, if he races he will be podium or pretty close. If he circulates and takes 10 points it could be quite important when the championship comes down at the end of the season.

I will bet the house that Stoner will win on the weekend.

And if I had another house, I'd bet that Rossi will finish worse than 2nd.

I was fishing for a eyetie, but you'll do.

Didn't you know that Stoner's an Aussie

Rossi does not go so well at Laguna, so next weekend's gonna be interesting!

Hasn't yet has he ? But its all bloody good being close. Pedrosa and Rossi know how it can all turn to crap in a second and Pete has said Stoner hasn't jumped off in a race for a while. Not wishing any offs but as we all know, thats all it takes. Gaz.

How about Haybale, Mr Ed & then of course Rossi .... ;-), 2nd option Stoner dissapers into the distance like him, his bike & his team are all on drugs - then the above order.........

Cheers Glen, It'll be interesting to see if Hayden can pop up with a good result ? He's certainly struggling with more isssues than just the bike. I can't see it , but stranger things have happened. Gaz.

As far as Honda's concerned - Haybales has left.

They have left him to stand in a corner just playing with himself.

Pedrosa is their boy and has been from the get go.

Stoner has had a DNF already (not his fault), Pedrosa has now had one (his fault), Rossi is the only one that hasn't, and I reckon the odds are that he will have one before the season is over. I'm picking it's gonna be this weekend.

I have text'd Rossi & told him that your house is on the line. One thing that Rossi does well is ride real well when there are lots of people telling him he cant win any more or cant win at a specific track. I got an answer back from him & he said he really really needs a house in Wellington.............., Is there a 6 car garage for all his road bikes ? & a Pizzeria nearby ? :-)

Ha ha.

Two more questions to ask him.

1 Is he going to pay tax in NZ?

2 Is Uccio coming too?

1) If labour is in still, - He says he will be applying for a housing benefit to off-set any potential tax payments.
2) Uccio will only come if you were planning to leave the wine cellar fully stocked.

My friend Eman is a eyetie whom thinks the only reason Stoner wins is cause of the bike he rides, and that the bike was developed for him. I was being sarcastic in the first post.

back on topic

Pedrosa is in doubt for Laguna!

"Spanish MotoGP rider Dani Pedrosa will have to remain under observation in a Barcelona hospital for the next 32 hours to see whether he can race in the US grand prix.

He will only race at Laguna Seca next weekend if he is fully fit, doctor Xavier Mir has said.

The Honda rider suffered injuries to his left hand and right ankle after a high speed crash on Sunday.

Pedrosa is second in the standings behind MotoGP championship leader Valentino Rossi.

It is the second time he has suffered a major crash this season - he was hospitalised in Barcelona while testing ahead of the Catalan GP."

[codgyoleracer]

So, last ride for Melandri at Laguna & then onto Kawasaki - & Goobernow the new Ducati team mate for Stoner ?

[k14]

Yeah Uccio will be keen so long as there is a double bed...

You guys are forgetting that out of the 3 races at leguna, rossi was second first year, had his bike crap out on him second time when he was near the front and last year he was 4th. Certainly if he can get the yamaha dialled in he will have a chance of victory. Write him off at your perril!
