Julian Ryder is on form again.

Casey Stoner articulated the view that it didn't seem right to go and hold something as trivial as a race when there were such massive problems still. Simoncelli seemed worried about whether radiation would make his hair drop out.

Prob more of a reflection of what a season in Moto2 does for your riding.

Simoncelli for the win...Stoner and Pedro to pick up the pieces.

**RobGassit** · 15th May 2011, 12:48

Stoner,, Pedrosa and Simmoncelli and a punch up in the pits after the race is my pick..

But the poor bugger hadn't even tipped it into the corner.

What that must do for your confidence...................

Stoner (provided Simmoncelli doesn't punt him off when he goes down)

Pedrosa

Dovi

Lorenzo

Spies

Rossi's shoulder is still sore, and the bike is not right. Whaaaaaaa.

I'd be surprised. Like in Qatar, he's smoked everyone in every single session. Take rain or a fuckup for him to loose tonight I'd say. BUT...I will say it's only a matter of time before Simmoncelli wins one!

Qualifying don't mean shit at Le Mans Pete...it's a scratchers track and while that should fall into Stoners hand,he's gotta look at the long game.Thats my take anyway.

Maybe. But it seems Stoner can do those times on either the soft or the hard tyre. That doesn't bode well for the others I'd say. This would be a perfect chance for him to get some really valuable points back on both Lorenzo and Pedrosa...and I bet he knows it.

I think there may yet be a bit of a sub-plot developing amongst the HRC riders: they are all riding really really hard (Dovizioso's last lap in qualifying is a case in point) — I wonder if a bit of 'friendly' rivalry is emerging? Last year, there seemed to be a bit more of an established 'heirarchy' amongst the HRC riders; this year, with the addition of the phenomenally fast Stoner and Simoncelli challenging at the pointy end, Pedrosa and Dovi seem to be putting that much more effort in. Pure speculation on my part, of course, but interesting to see what, if anything, unfolds.

Thats because Danny and Dovi have done phark all with those factory bikes,,much like Hayden. Time to stump up or bugger off!!!
