MotoGP Sachsenring

Motomatters' roundup for those interested.

I hope Rossi is able to make some real progress on the tempestuous Ducati beast. It sounds as if he is getting a tad weary solving one issue and discovering three more every time he hops on. Watching Stoner drift the thing makes me wonder if Valentino could perhaps try a similar technique in the short term until Filippo Preziosi drops that carbon fibre front end. I'm sure it's not as simple as that — I would surmise there must be quite a bit involved in adjusting one's riding style — and that still wouldn't solve the apparent lack of feeling from the front. In any case, I hope Rossi is able to get some satisfying results for himself this race.

In stark contrast, the Honda camp sound positively ebullient.

I reckon he's the only guy capable of taking it to Stoner week in week out for sure.

Lorenzo is super confident after the last race...and maybe they have found something for the yamaha....Seems the Honda and Yamaha suit different tracks....Im hoping Lorenzo keeps taking points and he crashes less then Stoner....
