Its been a intresting year,stoner trying to hold on to his title after a bad start,coming back even stronger.Rossi as usual is ridding very consistently. Dani Pedrosa trying to get that title under his belt which i had my money on....and a great start in 2008 from rookie jorge Lorenzo who definentily is a future star too bad for his injuries...has so much potential!! and i think its the end for NICKY HAYDEN... as the points stand after LAguna Seca,, btw great battle between rossi and stoner!! 1.

mark100 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 l think Rossi will prove too strong, Stoner is doing himself no favours with his constant moaning about other riders and he his playing into Valenetino's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junki3korean Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Stoner did have a bad start to the year but once he got that bike back in shape hes been very consistent and strong, with the champion ship last year his looking very confident! i hope rossi can pull another (after 2 years) but i wont give up hope for pedrosa that kid deserves one! has pedrosa now got the pneumatic-valve engine???? he`ll be flying when thats installed!.

Lickey Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Aha, so nice to see others intereted in MOTO GP, ive tried on the bikes in Thai forum but no real response, ive even stated false fact and nobody quieeried my posts!! Laguna Seca, what a race!! Valle is one brilliant rider, he knew what he had to do and done it, win or loose Rossi always has a smile, had Pedrossa been there and got away at the front he would have won, but last time out he crashed 3 laps from the end when leading with a big gap, Mr Lolloipop [Jorge lorenzo] is trying to hard to quick!!! My money is on Rossi this year [as usual] Hope we an keep this disccusion post running too, Cheers Lickey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maipenrai007 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Would like to Stoner take it, Rossi tomuch under his belt. Be good to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssanSaint Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Its Rossi for me . I think Vale's vast experience will be enough to see off Stoner . The Yamaha is a much better machine this year - so far anyway . As a brit I was hoping for better things from Toseland - maybe next year ? I agree with others that Laguna was a cracking race , I've watched it quite a few times now and it's still excitng . I'm surprised no one mentioned Davizioso , who has been doing well considering the bike he's on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I don't really like Stoner or Ducati but I believe Casey wins it this year over my favorite Valentino. Dani is a good rider. He needs to finish high up in every race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Mix1up Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Stoners doing it on a bike that no one else can ride fast! sure it probably been built for his style but still. He's a whole race win in points behind, not easy to make up luckily (maybe) Rossi will not just ride around for 2nd or 3rd place in the last races to secure the champs and so make a mistake a chance. Barring that or a mechanical can't see Rossi letting it slip again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickey Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nicky Hayden is out of the Czech round due to an ankle injury at some X Games in LA USA, He has raced the new air valve engine but to no good effect, it seems his place in the Honda team next year is in question.

TBWG Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 i wish they had motorsports for olympics! Hi Must admit I follow 4 wheeled motorsports rather than 2 wheels, but did happen to see the race at Laguna Seca recently and must say that the corkscrew complex must be one of the most exciting corner combinations on any circuit the world. Watching the guys go through there I was convinced they all had a death wish. However my 4 pennoth, having only watched that race I feel Rossi has the edge.

junki3korean Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 hey guys just so this on motogp.com pretty intresting.... In a meeting on Saturday at the Brno circuit the 17 MotoGP riders present made suggestions on how to improve safety on cornering in the premier class Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and Riders´ Safety Representative Franco Uncini listened to a number of suggestions from the riders in the premier class in a meeting on Saturday evening at the Cardion ab Grand Prix Ceske republiky on how to improve safety as the 800cc era unfolds. Following the Riders' Safety Commission meeting on Friday, regular members including experienced Italians Loris Capirossi and Valentino Rossi invited the entire MotoGP field (the absent Nicky Hayden was unable to attend) to put forward their suggestions on how to increase safety, in particular on corners, before they collectively presented their ideas to Mr. Ezpeleta and Uncini. Having received the proposals the next step will be for Mr. Ezpeleta to discuss the way forward at the next meeting of the Grand Prix Commission, which in addition to Dorna comprises the FIM, MSMA and IRTA. Mr Ezpeleta explained, `We have realised that speed on corners is increasing dramatically and we have worked hard to increase safety at circuits. This was discussed in the Riders' Safety Commission meeting yesterday with some of the riders but due to the importance of the matter we decided to talk with all the riders.´ `Therefore, the riders came to the meeting today, I introduced the problem, they discussed it together and they have come up with some ideas to be presented to the Grand Prix Commission to resolve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 STONER BRAIN FART. Drops it when leading by a mile. Valentino - how could I ever have doubted you? Bridgestone = good Michelin = Krap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickey Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Well, drops it when leading by 1.2 secs, it was just a matter of time when Rossi would pass Stoner i would think, we all know how strong rossi is in the latter stages,, It was very good to see the 2 Kwackers in 3/4 for a while, perhaps they are using the new screamer engines now? or somebody high-up at kawasaki has had a word with Ant West. Congrads to Elias and Capirossi too, Its great to talk with the worlds top riders about circuit saftey, and its been a long time since serious injury or death occured, that unfortunatley happens when a high-sideing bike lands on the rider. 2 weeks to Rossis home GP and its Ducati country, lets hope the whipper-snapper stays onboard and makes a race of it!!

IssanSaint Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi all . Great result for Vale today ! Although admittedly Stoners mishap did spoil what could have been a tight race. But then I think that Casey does not like being put under pressure and with the Yam being such an improved package on last year , he's not getting away so easily . It's unusual ( and as a Rossi fan quite refreshing ) , to see one or two mistakes from the young Aussie - after the faultless performance of last season . Now with a 50 point lead it looks like its gonna be The Doc !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad97 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have been a fan of Valentino since he first appeared on the MotoGP scene. I am very happy to see him back to winning ways and feel confident that he will take the championship this year. I think it was his constant pressure on Stoner that pushed the Aussie too far this weekend. By the way, great race between the two of them at Laguna Seca four weeks ago.

junki3korean Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 i missed the race!!!! T.T But go rossi! how did pedrosa do??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Mix1up Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) UGGGGGGGG!!!! It will been interesting if, next year, Giberenau(sp?) joins Stoner? Stoner was pissed and said Rossi brake checked him at laguna before this race, moot point now!!! Rossi might retire, going out on top, a perfect way really Like Ricky Carmichael if you follow US MX Edited August 18, 2008 by 0Mix1up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junki3korean Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 WOW! sete giberenau is coming back?!?!? he was great only one who could take rossi back in the 990cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickey Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Rossi has signed a new 2 year contract with Yamaha, he obviously knows that Yamaha will do all he asks for his bike. Melandri is moving to Kawasaki next year, bad move on Kawasakis part i rekon! No news on Gibernau yet, although he was never a real threat to Rossi, they had their moments,but it seems likely if Melandri is going.. Really looking forward to the next one in Italy, Cheers All, Lickey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
