MotoGP 2013

Well the Honda boss said last year that they wouldn't have two Spaniards in the Repsol team and look how that worked out.

What are you top five pics for this weekend mate?

[pritch]

Lorenzo
Rossi
Pedro
Marquez
Crutchlow

I think?

’Tis becoming somewhat more difficult to predict with any sort of certainty who might run away with the race... Three different winners from three races so far — a fourth different winner this weekend perhaps?
Must make your dabbles at the TAB that much more interesting, Crasher.

Not bad I reckon! But I think Pedro is hot at the mo...so...

Tell me about it. Won on MM in Texas, lost on Lorenzo at Jerez. TAB owns me. Mind you...nothing to do with bikes...but do you know Colapop from here years ago? His boy (Jeff Tomanga- Allen) won me some pretty serious (by my measly standards) moola for scoring the first try for the Canes the other week. He was paying $50.00

Like I wished earlier pritch, wouldn't it be great to have a fourth winner to shake things up ?
Crappy weather in France is not uncommon for the GP so that has to help Rossi achieve a win.
Other than wish, it's hard to pick a winner (or guess a winner ).I hope everyone stays on, that's all.

Yeah, so much for that. But there was no way they could get away with not putting Marquez in MotoGP and they also had to have an experienced racer there in case.

It's really not a good look though having the top half of the field in MotoGP dominated by Spain and Italy. Also you've got the Superbikes which are all European (Poms, Italians, a Spaniard, Frenchmen, a Swede, and a German), not a single rider from North/South America, Africa, Asia or anywhere else. Dorna is very, very European focused. Not a good thing for growth or for what is meant to be global sports and true World Championships.

Funny you mention that...

[McWild]

If Rossi could pull a second last year on the Duc, against an on-form Stoner (who, lets not forget after Sepang last year, "loves the rain") I feel like he will be difficult to stop this Sunday. Plus he's well known for responding to hype, 4 winners, "Rossi's comeback in the great equaliser" headlines etc.

Would have to call it

1 Rossi
2 Lorenzo
3 Pedro
4 Dovi / Bradl

with Cal and MM hitting the gravel.

If it's wet, this is.

[pritch]

Some of you are braver than me. I saw an article that mentioned that this could be Rossi's weekend but I couldn't feel confident enough to pick him.

Should he manage it though the only person in the world happier than me would be Rossi himself...

Probably before I joined KB. Not a bad haul, that.

I reckon he'll win a race maybe more this year. He's such a class act...I really can't see him not. Especially in the rain.

And I think Gaz will give you a run for jollies if he does win one! :-)

Well I have a bottle of champagne at home - the real deal. When Countdown send out those $15.00 or $30.00 coupons I wait until the good bubbly is on special and then get one for half price or less. (I know that's still not "cheap" but then I don't have a missus so I can do what I like.)

Admittedly it sometimes doesn't take much, but Rossi winning a GP would be sufficient excuse to open that bottle.

I'll have a beer to him. Ok...I'll be drinking regardless. But yeah...I'd love to see him win some races too. Be great to see. Good for the sport too.
