...Pressure...

[Dark Angel]

The BS stops here...

...Pedrosa's doubtful for the race...
...Capirossi's on a flier...
...Rossi's on pole...
...And there's a 60% chance of rain for the race...

...If it's dry: Capi/Rossi/Roberts

...If it's wet: Rossi/Roberts/Melandri...

...If it's a weather-mess: it's anybody's race (after Rossi wins it!)

...Let the Games Begin...!!!

...Whaddya think? Let's 'ave yer predictions, then! :-:

...Ar-rrr...Before the race, if ya don't mind! g0nn3

Quite simply 5 or 6 of THE best motorcycle racing I've ever seen in my life. :bow:

VR & Loris's ding dong was sublime. Loved the on-board from the back of Rossi's bike on the last corner - Loris came absolutely hammering into it!

Ride of the day? Dani Pedrosa.

Who's gonna win the championship? Dani Pedrosa!

If you didn't see it then you missed one of the all time great battles.......... you can see the whole race in high quality on www.motogp.com - if you need a log-in and password then PM me.............

Hate to say it, but the little boring one's gonna win this..............I said it at the beginning of the season but then once I realised he had zero personality I went right off of him. However, his ride today was incredible - and if he can do that after such a massive crash then he's capable of anything.

 

[RHINO]

I got up to watch it live :yo:

My money is still on Vale, it has to be, i've followed him through the ranks and i couldn't lose faith in his ability to fight back.

You can't deny though, the old Sete / Rossi battles were eppic to watch.

I say 'ROSSI' on a Desmosodicci 2008 :yo:

..Don't forget his ride in the 250's last season - when he rode with a broken shoulder - this kid is tough...! :bow:

I don't think he's quite got the experience (yet) to beat Rossi, but then, he may not have to - he might just need to finish one place
behind him and in front of Hayden by a couple of places to win the championship. Undoubtedly, Pedrosa's the new Biaggi/Gibernau/Melandri-type challenger and the switch to the lighter, smaller 800's next year will definitely be to his advantage.

But this year:

It's Gonna be ROSSI (I hope! I've said all along it was gonna be close - but this is a bit too close for comfort! )

GREAT, INNIT?! :}

 

[Samster]

It's the best season for a long long time DA, and only four days to go before practice starts down under!

I can just see Rossi & Hayden tripping each other up and the little boring fella taking the crown............

Check out this still of Pedrosa - looks like he's pulling off a freestyle motocross move!

Methinks there must be a caption competition in there somewhere, Sam!

You're right, too, in that it's been a brilliant season... :bow:

...but it ain't over yet...! :lick:

...BRING IT ON...!!! :yo:

...Come on...p0pc0rn41

...COME ON, VALE...!!! k1ap k1ap

 

[Dark Angel]

...PRESSURE...!!!

...Who would you rather be...? d04l1ng


...Looks like Pedrosa's got problems....But it only looks that way... h1d1ng2

...The Ducatis seem lost after their qualifying tyres lasted less than a lap...But their launch control off the line can be worth two rows on the grid... g0nn3

...Hayden's on pole...But he claims to be struggling to find a race setup that will give him the traction profile for a win....

...Rossi scraped in at no. three (with 1 minute 20 seconds of qualifying time left - and after running off the track...!) and he claims that he's happy for the race...!

...Tamada's in second place - and the Kwacker team is claiming a brilliant race setup...

...Who would YOU rather be...?

....PRESS-SURE...

1...Rossi
2...Gibernau
3...Roberts...

...Come on... b0x1

...LET's GET CRAY-Zee-ee-eee...! c7u8

 

[Grey Wolf]

I Think

Haydens tosser: ) going to win the championship by
riding like a pussy and finishing no more than a couple of places behind ROSSI :bow: :bow:
he aint got the bottle to fight d04l1ng it out properly

 

[shropslad]

Yep

Three races to go,,I think Haydens got it in the bag,, Rossi has to keep well ahead of Hayden in each race,,or knock him off on a corner,,,,,,,, gonna be a close finish. Dare I say Hayden(mr consistant) has yet to have a DNF sh1tehppns
If Rossi does do it this year,, well what can you say :bow: :bow:

Mr Honda.

Hi Guys

Well I think Nicky Hayden should tell Mr Honda to poke it where the sun don't shine.
OK he lost 4 points to Rossi this race but the 3 races before he lost 25 points, all because of clutch trouble. So why dont they give Nicky a good bike to wrap the championship up, then piss about with the clutch afterwards, it dont make sense? I know they want Dani to win but he ain't going to do it now is he? So give a chance of glory to Hayden for christ's sake!!
Surely Hayden is not the only test rider Honda have got to test clutches?

Zippo..Out on the Gixxer later...

 

[bishbosh]

Rossi will win Valencia with Hayden at least down at fourth as Gibbers and Ped will be not far behind the master; you may even get Capirossi in there as well, so I think Rossi will only need to gain 10 points in the next two races.

Vale has it in the bag. :yo:

...Wazzup, M8? Geddin' a bit panicky...?

So why dont they give Nicky a good bike to wrap the championship up....?

...BUT...ANYONE can win on a Honda...!!!! man8um

Surely Hayden is not the only test rider Honda have got to test clutches? ...

...That bloke Rossi was pretty good as a test rider...Who's he with nowadays...? bl4hbl4h

... I think Rossi will only need to gain 10 points in the next two races...Vale has it in the bag. :yo:

...'S'right enough, BB...!!! :yo:


Oulton on me Gixxer Termorrer!!!

 

[Gerrard]

Mr Honda

Hi Eric. w;;v
Not panicking - just like to give credit where credit is due, and Nicky deserves a lot of credit.
Of course you're right Rossi is a good development rider but I know one thing, Burgess wouldn't let Rossi into a race with a wonky clutch, that you can be sure of.
I like that bit about Honda me old mate.... b0x2
Anyone can win on a Honda of course they can, just ask Casey Stoner ha, ha, ha, ha..and if Yamahahahaha is so good why aint Edwards winning the championship?? man8um.
So put that in ya pipe Your Honor.... :neenaw:
Zippo. Gixxers R Us.

 

[Dark Angel]

Burgess wouldn't let Rossi into a race with a wonky clutch, that you can be sure of.

Wonky clutch? WONKY CLUTCH??? The whole fekkin? BIKE?s wonky, M8! They still haven?t found a decent base setting for the thing and it?s ?normal procedure? now for the Yamaha team to have to start from scratch to find a reasonable setting at every race! Burgess could set that bike up for any rider but, according to the man himself, only Rossi could win on it?! :f

Anyone can win on a Honda of course they can, just ask Casey Stoner ha, ha, ha, ha.

I think I?d rather ask Nicky?or even Danny Pedrosa-a-aaahhh-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaarrrrr!!! sp1ttt3

..and if Yamahahahaha is so good why aint Edwards winning the championship??

Cos ?e?s not Rossi, M8?who?s already won it?.

...TWICE...

...on a Yamaha-ha-haaaaaaar!!!!?. :f

Nuff said...? :k

OH-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YYYYY-EE-YAH!!!!!! man8um

 

[RHINO]

I feel sick inside at the thought of Rossi losing the title to 'Hayden'.
Ok, the Yank has come on in leaps this season but FFS, 'VALE' is the showman who put motorcycling back on the map. People who don't even like bikes know who ROSSI is..
A true STAR.

Hayden needs to crash and break something like his arm to have ROSSI as champ this time. :cry:

Hi Rhino...
I think it was Barry Sheen :bow: who put motorcycling back on the map.

Zippo..Gixxers R Us... :bow:

 

[shropslad]

i agree GES

but its Rossi who has kept it there,,, funny how some don't like successful people,, good at the job they do etc,,etc,, put them on a pedestal & all they want to do is knock em off.
Dani is a great rider but what a phookin bore,,, mullet face giblets,, another spaniard,, see him chuck his gloves down in the garage cos Rossi pissed on his parade & got 3rd.

Funny how all the italians are good mates,, re Malandri,, Rossi & Caparossi,, but who is mates with Dani?????,,who likes him in the paddock apart from his team.?
