I'm thinking Drew means a pool with the winner taking all , No ?

The only raffle I ever won was the national service ballot in 1969,three months in funny clothes in fucking Waiouru. (and a haircut ).

My betting history is one workplace horse racing sweep. The world owes me a dollar...

Rossi 2nd for the 3rd season in a row,

MV 3rd.

Lorenzo 4th.

I will have a crack at emptying your beer fridge Crasher..i wager that MV finishes higher than VR......prolly a year too soon but ........

I am up for it. Now all I have to do is work out how the TAB thing works before the start of next season. I will be keeping my winnings (more likely losses) though.

**sugilite:Me** · 20th November 2016, 03:18

I'm going with....
MM
MV
VR
DP
AI
Dovi
JL

That is a daring selection. How could anyone leave multiple winner Crutchlow off their list?

**Drew** · 20th November 2016, 07:53

I'm struggling to pick a top five in order. That's a very good thing in terms of entertainment, not great for TAB.

Marquez
Vinales
Iannone
Rossi
Dovi

I'm confident those are the correct riders come end of 2017, I have less faith in the order.

Brave picks so far, but I take it y'all have concluded that Dall'Igna won't be able to provide George with the edge grip he needs? I was concerned that Gigi admitted the bike still doesn't turn well, they have had enough time now.

The Honda engineers seem to have a thing about their "new" frame, the one that has been around since mid season. MM and DP tried it, didn't like it, didn't want it. Honda asked Crutchlow to use it, he didn't mind it, he used it, and he won on it. Now Honda has the other satelite bikes trying it, still not the Repsol bikes though.

A blast from the past, a short clip of Hailwood on the MV in Belgium. Runoff? What runoff?

The clip seems to open with teh sound turned down by default. Hailwood is talking - about driving. Maybe that's why?

I think that if Ducati were going to make a bike that wad rideable, they'd have done it by now.

The wings made it competitive, and now they're gone. So they've just wasted two seasons development.

To assist with your picks? Or possibly to add to the confusion?

Trying to pick a top 5 for '17 is doing my head in. Far too many what-ifs based on the two days of testing with new bikes for some.

I will have to stick with Marquez for the title though.

**speights_bud** · 20th November 2016, 21:44

It pains me, but just to be different. I hope I am wrong...

MV
MM
VR
DP
CC
JL
AD
AI

I would really like to see Crutchlow higher up.

And MM to be on the top would be what I'd like to see, sooner he gets to 9 championships the sooner Harris can fuck off about his boyfriend....
