Please, can someone say Ducati this season they have to use a 800cc engine?
Rossi is going to have some headaches with Dukes this year... and Honda is going to have nightmares! The good old(!?) Lorenzo did his work and brought some points to very needed people here. Spaniards go on having a big handle in 125cc. Faubel won and Aspar's bikes did an 1-2. bestfit has been awesome , predicting very exactly all the races (perhaps he doesn't know Casey is a crasher). Some people did well in two cats and some people were losers who barely could forecast Lorenzo's win (that equals to forecast the sun will rise tomorrow, or will fall in Australia, this is confuse ) Sadly nobody failed with zero points, so we have nobody to laugh at (where is asha? ) Code:

Hmm a pretty good weekend for me apart from a slight hicup in the Moto GP class. Could Bestfit be the player to watch this year?

Ralf Schumacher put himself at the top three of this season's F1. Now we see a "three" pattern, with this result

A good start to the competition, I'm very pleased with the new crystal ball I purchased in the off season.
Quote:
I have been a huge Stoner fan since he first entered the GP circus. Sure he has had a lot of crashes but if you examine his career it is interesting that in the years where he has been on top flight machinery (KTM factory 125cc, LCR Aprillia factory 250cc) he has had very solid seasons finishing 2nd to Pedrobot in both years with very few crashes. In the seasons when he was on 2nd tier machinery (like last year's LCR Honda) he has tended to crash a lot, but most of his crashes occurred while he was near the pointy end of the field and was pushing hard to stay with the leaders on better machinery, or while charging through the field from a poor qualifying position. It's easy to label him a crasher, but to me this shows a real "racer's" mentality, with a huge desire to win even when the machinery is not up to the task. I remember Doohan being labeled as a crasher in his first couple of seasons and I see Casey having a lot of the same "winning is everything" mentality that Doohan displayed throughout his career. I honestly believe that Stoner, not Pedrobot, will be the next Rossi and we will see him on the top step of the podium a few more times this season. |

According to the rules in case of tie, who guessed before gets preference. So in order to win copying SALEEN's guess ralf has to copy it *before* SALEEN writes it.
A difficult task indeed. Another easier winning technique is copying Bleu's and dropping Kallio from it. This way you will have a top score with even more points than our resident Finn. |

Schummy, would it be good time to change example predictions because most of those riders mentioned are no longer racing in those classes. Take one of Qatar predictions as example, with two correct and one wrong. (and two correct with different amounts of points)

Thanks. Certainly those names are outdated. I think it is not a big problem as they are just an abstract example, to see as points are calculated. But, anyway, I will redo those examples next time I post the rules.

Guessing for Xerez GP is "officially" opened Just an example (but valid just in case I forget to make my proper guess! ) 125cc: Faubel, Talmacsi 250cc: Lorenzo, Bautista MotoGP: Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner sidecar: marcus/Filth, jhansen/Hazza, Knowlesy/SALEEN |
