German GP?...with spoilers

[SpikeC]

Where is the discussion of the German GP? Is Rossi going to pull out another one? Will Marquez get the Honda to work there? And what about Lorenzo?

Where is the discussion of the German GP? ...

Apparently it's here.  Re-title with "SPOILERS ALERT" and we're good to go.

... Is Rossi going to pull out another one? ...

I hope so.

... Will Marquez get the Honda to work there? ...

Probably.

... And what about Lorenzo?

Who cares?

Second on the Spoiler...

...so, MM hasn't lost here since 2009. That's a 125cc win in 2010, Moto2 wins in 2011 & 2012, and GP wins in 2013 & 2014. I think it's safe to say that he likes the track.

In the same timeframe:

Pedrobot has 3 wins, 1-2nd, and a DNS
JLo has 3-2nd, 1-3rd, and a DNS
Rossi has 1-3rd, 1 4th, and 2 years on the Duc

I think MM returns to the top step, and starts his second half charge. Pedrobot has his best race of the season. That leaves JLo or Rossi. I'm going to go with Rossi to edge him out since he's on a roll this season...this doesn't seem to be his favorite track though.

1) MM
2) Rossi
3) Pedrobot
4) JLo
5) Dovi

What kind of track is Sachsenring?  Power straights?  Tight turns?  Honda or yammy?



[Edit: Nevermind.  Read track description on Motogp.com: "Numerous tight corners make it one of the slower tracks on the calendar but there is never any shortage of close racing action." ]

[ducpainter]

I added a spoiler tag to this...it will happen.

[Blackout]

tighter track, expecting Rossi, Lorenzo and Ianonne on the podium.

 Thank you gentlemen, now I feel better!

Described by some riders as a go kart track. Wonder how the Ducatis will go there.

The yammer jammers will clean house in think, mm isn't doing too well seeing as he's pretty far back and can't achieve any consistency with this year's frame, the contact and his best race happened when he switched back to last year's frame, and the yammies keep getting faster and faster, the ducati's as usual will be dangerous if anyone gets into a drag race with them

Marquez making a statement.

[MadDuck]

The yammer jammers will clean house in think, mm isn't doing too well seeing as he's pretty far back and can't achieve any consistency with this year's frame, the contact and his best race happened when he switched back to last year's frame, and the yammies keep getting faster and faster, the ducati's as usual will be dangerous if anyone gets into a drag race with them

Marquez has gone back to using last year's frame. The results have been immediate. 

[m9hundo]

Yamahas are better under braking and cornering than Honda, seems like a twisty technical track. I see Yamaha having the advantage and I also see MM dumping it.

GO!!!!!!!!! Rossi

[1.21GW]

1. Marquez
2. Lorenzo
3. Rossi
4-6: Iannone, a Suzuki, Pedrosa
