Well this weekend is off to a strong start with the confirmation of Nicky Hayden moving to WSBK with Honda. A few more things to note for the weekend: -The forecast is still showing a chance for rain to shake things up on race day. -Both Yamaha and Honda have their test riders doing wildcards at this round. Most notable is the 60th anniversary livery that Katsuyuki Nakasuga will be running -Karel Abraham has been confirmed to miss the three flyaway rounds Last year, the circumstances at Motegi were a bit different....
This feels right. I'll add Pedrosa and Smith in the top 6 with one of the Andrea's in there too. Cal in 9th
Ant West in the top 5 if it rains!!! He's riding for Karel this weekend. Oh and Rossi grabs JL by the scruf of the neck, bitch slaps him and takes the win!
Close. West is riding for Abraham at PI and likely Sepang. This weekend HRC test rider Kousuke Akiyoshi is filling in for Mr. Abraham. I do like the way the second line of your post sounds though.
I sure hope the lot here is not in the business of issuing reports for a living or too heavily afflicted by the gambling bug.
Wet race = 46 93 38 26 99 Dry race = 93 46 26 99 Of course rooting for Rossi has an obvious bias I will get up at OMG O'clock to watch the race live!
46 26 93. Marquez pushed off track and fights back to 3rd 99 crashes on lap one after contact with 93.
Doesn't this track have the heaviest overall braking on the entire schedule (this was one of just a few tracks they used to allow the oversized brakes on)? Doesn't Lorenzo have a shoulder injury, and Marquez a hand injury? Both would result in stability issues under braking. I say edge goes to Rossi. His injury was to his forearm, so there shouldn't be a problem.
