MOTO GP Champion This year?
Discussion
Its hard predicticting for Honda as they all sem to be on different spec bikes.
Collin Edwards isnt even on the best bike spec of last season
Honda said it would be 6 equal bikes out there but they are not doing that
thats a pity because we would see the true tallent shine through.
Never mind I hope Rossi kicks their arses and Collin comes second but I dont think it will happen.
Either way I can't wait
And I'm going to watch it again this year at donnington

Rossi, predictable answer I know but look at his performance last year, he looked as though he was playing with the opposition most of the time, he had so much in reserve, we have not seen him try hard IMO yet, don't mean to take anything away from the others they are all ferkin good riders but IMO Rossi is in a league of his own, but it will be, by far, the best seasons racing since intro of the 4 stroke, can't wait.
Rossi is 0.6 secs slower than last years spec RCV so far .... There is a new RCV to come and only 2 are going to get their hands on it ... Hayden and Barros. Broken his own lap record, but isn't as quick as the RCV's...
Hayden showed well last year, but he isn't a champion yet.
Biaggi & Gibernau are on Rossi spec RCV's from last season this year with Edwards & Tamada on a Gibernau spec RCV from last year.
Barros's results from riding an RCV against Rossi were 2 out of 4 wins ... not bad !
Rossi will be quick on the Yamaha, but will it go the race distance without destroying the tyres, which is where the RCV scores so well. Rossi has already admitted than it is a real handfull once the rear tyre has gone off.
Jerry Burgess is the man who makes the champions, although I can not see Rossi doing it in the 1st year although he has made an exceptional start.
I hate to predict Barros as he normally does a good job of screwing it up pre-season or during. However this could be his last big chance on the very best bike on the grid.
No-one's mentioning Mr Hodgson
I would love to see a more competetive Ducati this year, but they are the unknown package currently to me ....

www.motogp.com are showing pictures of the new GP4 Ducati Desmosedici. Testing at Sepang is on the 11-13 February. It will be very interesting to see what the laptimes will be like in comparison with the Yam and Honda times.
Like I have already said, it will be a good year
