Pick your top 3 finishers for MotoGP 2008

F1 last year was actually a bit of a nail biter c'mon, 1 point between 1st and 2nd in the championship

It may have been a close finish pointswise - but as a spectacle *BLOODY BORING* - and made the worst '07 MotoGP race a scintillating nail biter. For some years now I have only taken a flleeting interest in F1.

He did the business, rode the Ducati better than anyone else and he IS a great talent but it was made alot easier for him by the FACT that Ducati had it right from the start and so did Bridgestone

Again: They tried to claim it was his bike and his tyres that won him the title…carefully overlooking Capirossi's results and the fact Michelin riders finished second and third.
Casey was simply the best rider by a very long margin. Get over it.

Stoner, Vermeulen, Westy. Go the aussies!

Nothing to "get over" as far as i'm concerned mate, it's a lot easier to win when your driving a Lamborghini Gallardo with Pirelli's on it and every one else are in mark 3 Ford Cortina's on Dunlop aquajet retread's. As for Capriossi he has only been sporadically brilliant at best and an also ran the rest of the time.
My point is we will see what he is made of when someone puts him under serious and constant pressure because no one did that last year, he may well go just fine but he may revert to sporadically fall off too. Time will tell.

Formula One, you don't have to like it mate but I do, although it's not the same without Schumacher.

OK, so Rossi and Lorenzo and Pedrobot weren't there, but the dude may surprise a few this yeah! Apparently the team are very impressed with his race pace and high work ethic, its looking good for him! (Well, better at tracks he's been to before anyway)

So what happend to King Toseland, half way through, UK circuits gone, no podium finish.

Edwards is doing well.

Hoo Hay went well for the first few races but I think he'll finish stronger. He's still recovering.
