Yep K14, Pedrosa with a chance only in the dry, If it rains, he has weakness, so it seems? It pisses down quite often in Holland.

Rossi came thru from about 11th last year !!!! (pete ha ha !) and Edwardian lost it on the last corner the year before, so the Yamahas work there. Maybe we're forgetting the other Yam and Jorge ???? Gaz.

Ummmm, seeing as he has a great deal of difficulty winning on a prototype MotoGp machine, I doubt very much a poxy R6 is going to do the trick.

Thats bad news on Hopkins, Trash ! Gaz.

ps just checked , appears to be left lower leg injuries, maybe fractured ankle and knee damage . Apparently lost the front at one of the fastest spots and slid into a tyre wall.

**riffer** · 28th June 2008, 09:43

Shit. Poor Marco.

I think Sete Gibernau will be back faster than we expected.

Sure is mate.

It looks like he'll definitely miss the next round and possibly Laguna

**Matt Bleck** · 28th June 2008, 11:04

Jorge is quacking!

I dunno. As I've said before Melandri is just NOT THAT BAD??????

Also. Sete will do no better IMO.

As for Assen. Stoner's been so far ahead in all sessions he's surely goin to take it. Well as sure as you can be?

I think SETE is gunna rock after a couple of races again He always had the abbillity as a rider, he was just not mentally strong enough to deal with his competitors mind games, and lost the plot
