Philip Island Picks for 29th Oct

[Airhead]

Lets get the crystal ball down and have a go at predicting this weekends' Australian GP.

For the 500's
1. Garry McCoy
2. Valentino Rossi
3. Kenny Roberts (the little one)

For the 250's
1. Ukawa
2. Jacque
3. West

For the 125's
1. Ui
2. Ueda
3. Azuma

The winner of 9 out of 9 gets a lot of respect!

[Rossifumi]

Ok i'm with you!

500cc

1 Valentino Rossi
2 Garry McCoy
3 Loris Capirossi

250cc

1 Nakano
2 Oliver Jacque
3 Katoh

125cc

1 Locatelli
2 Ui
3 Alzamora

[Airhead]

Rossifumi,

Why Capirossi???

[Rossifumi]

I think Loris got something to prove because Barros has been riding so good lately.

[Airhead]

Yes I agree but both Pons riders need to be pensioned off, been there, give another guy a go. Sure Barros won a race this season but consistency as ever eludes him.

500:
1. McCoy
2. Rossi
3. vdG (if wet)
3. Barros (if dry)

250:
1. Nakano
2. Jacque
3. Ukawa

125:
1. Ueda
2. Locatelli
3. Ui

[gomick]

if the rain keeps coming as it has for the last 3 days, gazza could struggle and i would have to pick valentino, however.....
ant west will win his 1st gp and what a place to do it (does anyone know if 2 time aus 250 champ shaun geronomi is racing, i hope so)....

125's ivan goi (big outsider)

[elephino]

The only reason McCoy has struggled this year in the wet was due to poor tyre choice, partly his teams fault, partly his and partly Michelin not having 16.5" wet tyres developed.

[marcus]

500's
1.McCoy (spurred on by home crowd)
2.Rossi
3.Barros

250's

1.Jacque
2.Nakano
3.Ukawa

125's

1.Locatelli
2.Poggialli (long shot that one)
3.Alzamora

[Alan Jones]

have looked into the small peapod where my brain hides and come up wqith the following.....
the 500's

ROSSI
CHECA
MCOY ( though i would love him to win )


250's
ukawa
waldman

Lets hope there isn't too much wind or rain tomorrow and the island turns on a ripper.
Pity mamola isn't racing, ithink I'd like to have a beer with him, looks like my kind of guy and with a name like randy, sure to be interesting. Gotta love these americans, there all on drugs when they name their kid's huh!!!!

[Airhead]

Gotta love these americans, there all on drugs when they name their kid's huh!!!!

Hey Allan,

The way Randy rode he stayed on the drugs during his career too! Remember the shot of him falling off the Cagiva on the parade lap when doing a wheel stand? And what, they charge money to sit behind him for a lap of the Island? There's one born every second.

I'm still reasonably happy with my choices except I should have put Nikano in instead of Jacque.
