Mugello, Rossi land, MotoGP?

Never been beaten on a four stroke. Thats some record !

But..... Im thinking Stoner has had the best start to a season, a lot better than when he won the title. and he is Quick in Qualifying. fastest this morning.

Lorenzo who doesnt usually go well here, flying too.

Pedrosa clocking the fastest speed 217mph

Dovi keeping pace with him (lap times)

Elias the dark horse ?

But could you really bet against Rossi.

Update:

although I think Stoner is having a good season so far. I think he is restricted by Fuel limit. Mid to high 1:50 lap times.

looks to be between Rossi and Lorenzo

Update 2:

I think Capa had a good run on soft tyres, Not so quick on race rubber.

whereas pedrosa yesterday.... maybe a front runner ? Stoner sticking it to yamaha would be a dream. But like I say, I think he is restricted to straight line speed by the fuel regs. so the run into turn one ??

Update 3:

Damp track might solve Stoners fuel problem !!

    While he has nothing to prove at this stage of his career, I think he wants a win now as much as ever, you certainly can't bet against him. But i'm still going with Stoner.

    Hello Proc,

    I'm looking forward to see the "07 Stoner" again but I think it's pretty good to finish 2nd at Mugello if Rossi is in the race :)

    I really believe Rossi will win at Mugello, because he's at home, having won it 7 years in a row. And given his last race outcome, I think he will really be committed :)

    Pedrosa has clearly been improving his performance, and Lorenzo is on fire, so I think it's going to be a hell of a fight. It would be really interesting to see Melandri at the front again!

    Regarding Elias, I still haven't watched qualifying :)

    Le Mans was surely a disaster for Rossi, Caladora. What a nightmare! Was that just a cold tyre or still too wet for slicks? :P

    I know it's going to be really difficult, but I want Stoner to win this race. I think the Ducati camp needs a boost, and winning in Mugello can bring this. The problem is a couple of Yamahas, and two guys named Valentino and Jorge.

    I'm amazed how many times we argue about Valentino and Casey, and silently Jorge Lorenzo takes the checkered flag. It's like we are not convinced he is a serious contender, and he definitely is, and he has the upper hand now.

    After qualifying I feel Valentino and Casey are under a lot of pressure. , so my money is on Jorge and my hope with Stoner.

    Stoner can keep 2nd place if he keeps his cool, else I think Rossi will beat him.

    Pedrosa...well....I hope he'll get into the top 5

    Capirossi! great job by him I hope he'll get a podium

    I'll be rooting for Lorenzo this season ;) probably Rossi's best team mate in years.

    So it will be:

    1: Lorenzo

    2: Rossi

    3: Stoner

    Source(s): Mugello will be Lorenzo's Land!

    hi Proc i think of Valentino Rossi is somewhat dissatisfied at Yamaha, yet no longer dissatisfied adequate to go away the team any time quickly. i assume his modern rant approximately Yamaha signing Lorenzo back, is purely a sign to his bosses asserting "be careful". Yamaha needs Rossi to be remembered as a Yamaha rider, so for them the terrific state of affairs could be Valentino staying 2 greater seasons and getting in the past´s checklist. throughout the time of those years he ought to anticipate a stressful challenge from his teammate (Lorenzo and doubtless Spies) so the certainty that Yamaha presented "equivalent" therapy to Lorenzo, replaced into no longer the terrific little bit of information to Vale, specifically as Jorge is reaping benefits of Valentinos ´motorbike progression. Neither the certainty that Spies replaced into predicted to adjust to MotoGP in 2011, and the rumor mill now says 2010. This issues can get interior the way whilst finding for Agostini´s checklist. As Ducati is going, they for confident prefer to be Champions back, yet recently they failed at luring Pedrosa or Lorenzo, as their motorbike isn't recognized as a one with Champion ability, so I reckon bringing Rossi could be very difficult... inspite of the incontrovertible fact that... ...the main mandatory ingredient i think of would be what Valentino needs, and that, all of us understand can exchange contained in right here few years, We now he desires to be Champion back, that he needs in the past´s checklist, yet additionally understand he loves the challenge. Ducati could get him, by offering him a great motorbike, on his very own words, JB blanketed, stable money, and an absolute quantity one status interior the team to guarantee the main wins achievable for him. Ducati is a small team and company (whilst in comparison with others) yet financially isn't that small. Has a number of stable sponsors. I wouldn´t strategies that test in any respect. I´m a hundred% possitive he can journey and win with the crimson beast.

    You're right, it's gonna be very close isn't it :-D

    I wouldn't bet against Rossi, especially at Mugello !! He's not called 'The Doctor' for nothing :)

    Rossi will want desperately to win here above all others,+ he has that"extra ingredient" that no-one else seems to possess; I think anyway,for once ,man rather than machine.

    [ i've got to say that after his disaster at Le Mans that Rossi will be on it tomorrow...just watching qualifying, Smith pole..Redding second looks like being a good weekend....<^><...
