2010 MotoGP Round 9. Red Bull US Grand Prix. Laguna Seca *Spoilers*

[El Matador]

Three threads about going but no official race talk?

I cant wait to see what Vale does now that he's better. 

Predictions: Lorenzo, Vale... Spies. In that order. I really want to see Perdobot and Stoner have a nice scrap for fourth. Maybe with Hayden in the mix.

So what are your predictions?

[zooom]

I too would love to see what the Moto2 scrappin would be like at Laguna...thet'd be a helluva turn1/2 cluster with those bonzai bombers...

my prediction...

Pedrobot, Lorentho, Rossi, with 4th being a close scrap between Stoner and Dovi and Nicky finishes ahead of Spies...

[El Matador]

I really hope you're wrong with them predictions of yours. We don't take kindly to that talk 'round these parts.

I can't remember what happened to Lorenzo at laguna last year, I believe he was riding seriously injured. Also IIRC laguna was where Rossi did a stoner and randomly fell while leading. Laguna has such high braking corners that I don't really see it favouring Thumbelina if the other riders are healthy

Lorenzo and Stoner both chucked their bikes in practice last year if I recall.  Pedro had the race won by a country mile but decided to run the entire last lap in first gear, so Rossi almost pipped him.  I think Lorenzo and Pedro fight for first with Stoner or Rossi duking it out for third.  Spies is good, but home track or not, he'll need a crash to hit the podium.  I'll slot him in 4th or 5th. ( I'm rooting for a podium though ).

^^^ That picture is a bit disturbing!  Lorenzo looks like the slow guy from Drop Dead Gorgeous

+3 on what a bummer it is there won't be Moto2. Best racing of this season has been happening there (from what I've seen).  

1. Lorenzo (If he can keep the rubber side down)
2. Stoner (ditto)
3. Pedrosa (I just don't want to see him blaze out of the gates and leave everyone  )
4. Hayden (I'm really hoping he can pull 4th...he's fast here, and Rossi's leg will still be sore)
5. Rossi (Of course...he could win it...who knows. Maybe he'll try to stuff Lorenzo in the dirt early ala Stoner  )
6. Spies (I'd love to put him higher...but those are some fast dudes ahead of him who have been there before on a GP bike)

fwiw, spies has been there before on a gp bike, too... he finished 8th in 2008 on the suzuki.

OK...on a fast GP bike.   

I didn't know that though.

i'd like to say that i think nicky will finish ahead of ben.  but i don't -- provided the tech 3 bikes aren't the "germany" bikes.

[desmoquattro]

1) Hayden (Roger Lee)
2) Capirossi
3) Simoncelli

...and then I woke up from my nightmare.

hahahahahahaa....although it wouldn't suck too bad to have RLH on the podium...although pipping his brother would kind of suck...

Of all the Hayden brothers, I'd rather hear an interview with RLH than Nicky. Nicky's our version or Guy Martin

[duccarlos]

Lorentho
Spanish Turd
Rossi

One guy can't get both first and second. Oh wait...you're talking about Pintey McSmurfDouche.

[gm2]

1) Hayden (Roger Lee)

sure i don't think he's gonna win or anything.. and zero time on the RC isn't doing him any favors.  but at least he knows the track and he's been on-this-track-on-an-800cc-GP-bike-on-bridgestones.  and he finished in the top 10 then.
