marcus · 22 Jul 2006, 00:30 (Ref:1661860)

beau1 the 125 and 250 classes are not running at laguna , seems they dont have the poke to get up the hill

DavidStHubbins · 22 Jul 2006, 07:02 (Ref:1661978)

Betting against Rossi is like the other doctors in House, always doubting him and he proves them wrong!

...but I'm going to do it again. Because I'm stupid.

MotoGP. 1. Hayden

Hazza · 22 Jul 2006, 07:27 (Ref:1661985)

ah

, i really should stop posting on here late at night, when i often don't read other posts and just do comps. sorry about schummy and others. don't get points taken off do i?

Knowlesy · 22 Jul 2006, 22:53 (Ref:1662354)

I don't know, I think you should.

What do you think Schummy?

marcus · 23 Jul 2006, 01:59 (Ref:1662419)

LOL

Moto GP : Edwards

Hazza · 23 Jul 2006, 02:05 (Ref:1662424)

Good support there Marcus. Edwards all the way.

Goooooo colin!

L34 · 23 Jul 2006, 02:09 (Ref:1662427)

Chris Vermeulen is paying $11.00 on centrebet.

I have a strange feeling Chris will go close tomorrow morning.

Hmmm thinking about placing a bet.

Schummy · 23 Jul 2006, 03:43 (Ref:1662461)

L34, you can guess here and you will get a bag of money way bigger

If knowlesy suggest it, I cannot help but accept to substract points from beau1's intrusive guesses for 125cc and 250cc: -1000 points in either category.

For everyone in the Edwards fan club: don't put him as winner, he is a loser in MotoGP. In Assen he was ridiculous, he cracked two times in the last fight with Hayden. First he missed a chicane just because Hayden pressed him a bit, and second he comically fell of his bike.

Ok, the last paragrah is absolutely false, I was trying to confuse people. I like Edwards, he is a nice guy, in fact he even ride fast (the bike, I mean).

BOTTY: Rossi, Hayden, Vermeulen

Schummy: Rossi, Hayden, Pedrosa, Roberts
(So many contenders here than I would need more riders, Edwards, even Vermeulen or Hopkins... A priori a very open race)

Knowlesy · 23 Jul 2006, 08:55 (Ref:1662598)

Yes, it has been tough to really pick someone.

I just hedged my bets and stuck with a load of Yanks.

Bleu · 23 Jul 2006, 11:42 (Ref:1662684)

MotoGP: Vermeulen, Pedrosa, Hayden

bestfit · 23 Jul 2006, 14:17 (Ref:1662746)

Edwards, Hayden, Pedrosa.

I really wanted to pick Chris V, but I just don't think the Bridgestones are going to last the distance. I hope I'm wrong

**Dani Filth** · 23 Jul 2006, 14:34 (Ref:1662753)

Edwards Hayden Rossi

(If all this trickery fails, I'll have to tell marcus to cheat DF's guess in last round)

**Dani Filth** · 23 Jul 2006, 18:22 (Ref:1662837)

not if I cheat first :P

Schummy · 23 Jul 2006, 20:00 (Ref:1662894)

I'm amazed, it's the time limit just now and Hazza had ALREADY put his guess

**Dani Filth** · 23 Jul 2006, 20:10 (Ref:1662900)

yeah . I don't know what's with him lately .. he doesn't miss "deadlines" anymore .. he must be in love or something

Gutted for Rossi but a nice win for me in the Autumn Cup

Win some, you lose some..

DavidStHubbins · 24 Jul 2006, 02:05 (Ref:1663068)

I had a strong feeling that Stoner would lose the front with Pedrosa behind him, an early morning premonition maybe, and then a lap later it happened.. I used to get those same premonitions with Biaggi! Stoner will be spewin with anger now.

Still, easier to stop a fast rider crashin than to make a slow rider quick.

David, I agree with you.

Raw speed is the most difficult-to-find quality in a racer.

But moreover...

A fast crashy rider can be exciting to watch, he can get some great wins even if he isn't blessed with titles.

But a slow, solid rider is just boring, maybe he can stitch together a string of fourth of fifth positions but, frankly, who cares?

Schummy · 24 Jul 2006, 02:44 (Ref:1663077)

Hayden's win has brought a load of (wanted) points in Autumn Cup.

David has won, using, apparently, extranormal powers (I don't know if this thing is allowed or we have to deduct points, I will have to ask knowlesy

), anyway, from this realm of normality CONGRATULATIONS (Is Cliff Richard's song sounding already?)

Code:

USA:

MotoGP and Total:
David     4
ralf      3
jhansen   2.5
knowlesy  2.5
BOTTY     2.5
Bleu      2.5
bestfit   2.5
Dani      2.5
Hazza     2
Schummy   2
beau1     0
marcus    0

In the Cup, amazingly BOTTY is leading MotoGP (I am amazed because this is usually his worst category

). In Total cat(egory) the usual boring clever people are leading once more: Dani&Bleu (good name for a comic duo)

Code:

CUP:

125cc:
Bleu 3
Dani 3

250cc:
marcus 3

MotoGP:
BOTTY     5
David     4
ralf      3
jhansen   2.5
knowlesy  2.5
Bleu      2.5
bestfit   2.5
Dani      2.5
Hazza     2
Schummy   2

Total:
Bleu      5.5
Dani      5.5
BOTTY     5
David     4
marcus    3
ralf      3
jhansen   2.5
knowlesy  2.5
bestfit   2.5
Hazza     2
Schummy   2

And finally a

for my friend marcus, just because I want to do it
