Motogp in qatar!!

[Charlesbusa]

Don't forget the race is on Saturday in respect to Islamic guidelines.

Rossi and Gibernau are definately going to push hard since they sucked in Spain.

Ducatis look good, maybe this will be Gibernau's day if he doesn't crash.

I don't think Pedrosa will be as competitive as he was in Spain. Jerez was a very familiar track for him, Losail will give a better picture of how well he's going to do this year.

Go Hayden!!!!!!!!!

Any other prepractice predictions...?

 

[dagwood]

This looks to be Loris' year, IMHO. Capirossi has the juice to run the table on Vale. Vale has too many other things on his mind. I also wouldn't underestimate Pedrosa. It's gonna be a great season.

 

[Charlesbusa]

Loris is good, but he's old, 33yrs  

.  Can he go the distance??

It'll be very very hot.

Rossi's gonna have fire in his eyes, for sure. I'm pretty sure the last time he crashed before Jerez was at this track.

Weather channel is only saying 82-83degrees. That's no too bad

The Doctor is gonna put on a show

Gonna be a great race for 2nd place, behind the Doctor. Would be great to see Hayden up there, but I think maybe another year or two for him to get to the top. Speed is airing it on SUNDAY at 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time. 250's at 3 pm EDT.

Better NOT be or he's not going to be racing in MotoGp. Hayden has to come into form this year and start winning consistantly next year or I think, 'OUT HE GOES"! Honda wants to Win, and nothing else, no excuses, no crying, JUST WIN. And Hayden will have been with Honda next year how long

? I think that will be 4 or 5 years ! Enough time and his Team Mate better not place better than he does most of the time, or he will get the Baiggi Door ! Goes the same for Edwards. MotoGp is a cut throat business, WIN or LEAVE -- PERIOD !!! I'am not down on these guys, but they HAVE to perform NOW ! They've both been there long enough WITH the best bikes !

Yeah, you're exactly right. I just think that Hayden needs one more season to be a top contender. Problem is, just like when Bayliss and Edwards won in WSBK, they ship them off to MotoGP to lose, then throw them out. Ducati wants this one bad, and I think Capirossi will be on Rossi's heels this race.

 

[Charlesbusa]

Yup, Hayden has got to win this year. And not just in Laguna.

Go Hayden go!!!

 

[Kento-Moto]

I'm there! (on the couch)

 

[Fugly]

The Doctor is gonna put on a show

He always puts on a show, even two weeks ago.

 

[GJoker]

Just kicked my local cable company to the curb... well except for the cable modem aspect of it.. and had DTV installed yesterday~ Not only for the savings.. but also to get the MotoGP Races! You can believe I'll be glued to it this weekend~ Shame of it is.. it's really beautiful riding weather right now~ OH well... I got myyy... I got my Speed TeeeeeVeeeeEeeee...

 

[dagwood]

This I didn't expect...

 

[shortBoarder]

Hell must have frozen over! KR? Wow....

 

[shortBoarder]

The race is on Saturday, but I just checked Tivo - and the race is broadcast on Sunday 11AM; so avoid MotoGP.com unless you like knowing the results before you get to see it!

Not looking good for Hayden

. Qualified 9th with Pedrosa 7th ! I'am hoping for a good (top 3) finish for Hayden.

No qualifying yet, those were just the 1st and 2nd practice sessions. They still have a 3rd practice session and then the qualifing practice where everyone dons a qualifying tire for one lap. We'll see tomorrow who's who!!

 

[manatrader]

Everyone is just fine, .5 of a second covers all the top riders. Once again it comes down to turn 1 and on this track I would say turn 6 of lap one will tell the story if Rossi get through clean I think he may want to prove something, but then again that could push him too much. Hes a pretty clam dude though.
