    Where will RLH perform better? On the spec motor 600 or the MotoGP 800?

    Also, does a guy get paid for substitute, one off rides or is it purely for the love and exposure? Anyone know?

    He finished quite well on the ZX-RR a couple years back @ Laguna if I recall....



    yup....10th in 2007. If he finished 10th this year it would be pretty impressive.

    I'm really surprised he's doing both races.... it's going to be a damn busy weekend, I don't remember anyone trying to do this.

    MotoGP at LS and Moto2 at Indy. Moto2 isn't racing at Laguna. but he'll be busy at Indy if he does both if DP is still out.

    He's running both classes but GP at Laguna and M2 at Indy so he'll have a little time to rest in between:)

    I think the MotoGP guys except for the Rainbow Torpedo will a bit more sane then the M2 race. There is also less guys on the grid for Moto2.

    I'd vote for a higher finish in MotoGP

    cNYnCArvr A little bit of this...

    Of course he will, with a field of 17 vs a field of 35-40 there is a high probability of that happening.

    exactly my rational for picking GP :)

    I'd love to see moto 2 at Laguna and compare lap times to the AMA DSB front runners...

    Is it true they are currently slower than WSS times?
     
  13. I haven't checked the lap times but they are down at least 20-25 hp on the front running wss bikes.

    CB186 go f@ck yourself

    I believe at one of the races earlier in the year they said that the Moto2 bikes were lapping faster then the WSS bikes, but slower than the 250's did.

    RLH will perform better and finish higher just because of the sheer lack of competition on the Motgp grid. As stated by H8R.

    -So why isnt the Moto2 class running at Laguna this year?

    I heard it was because of financial reasons. Not sure that's it or not, just what I heard.

    So, it looks like everyone agrees that his finishing order will be higher in MotoGP, so lets talk about Performance Index. In which class we he beat a larger percentage of the field?

    Tough call but I'd say he'll beat more riders on the Moto2 bike, being able to test it will help a lot and he's damn good on a 600.
