Yamaha really struggled here last year. It will be interesting to see how much they have improved on their weaknesses. It will also, of course, be interesting to see how the Ducatis fare.

 

I got Rossi.

 

Marquez by a margin of the ridiculous.

What qualifies as ridiculous?

I think it will be closer than last year. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ducatis are very competitive here, and I also think Yamaha will be a little closer this year. Last year, Smith was the first Yamaha, 23 seconds behind Marc. When Smith is the first Yamaha, that's pretty much a disaster.

 

I think Ducati pissed off Honda at round one and they're bringing their A game and a gun under the table. I'm predicting forced Prison sodomy.

 

I think their A game offered to ride, and HRC turned him down.

 

Is Jorge going to be able to leave on time this year ?

 

I think it will be a good race.

 

That's the A- game now with Marquez in there. That kid is the deal. I expect the next Marquez II to be even better, the A+.

 

Agreed. :up: I just don't like to pass up a chance to have a go at Mr. A-.

 

Oh damn. I forgot that was at COTA. That explains why he was the last Yamaha.

benny solis stranded on the hwy looking for help.. link on RRW

 

Put a thread up for more visibility. :up:

 

Good idea.

I bet it'll be taken care of in a couple hours knowing this place and racers.

 

Oh yeah, that's out there! Hopefully someone else heading from the west coast will bail them out. Nothing! Out there but travelers, and a lot of border patrol and highway patrol presence, so basically safe.

9.5 hours to them from houston, and I'm 3 hrs from Louisiana.

El Grande Tejas!

Good Luch to them.
