FIM Winners Game: Summer Cup - Page 2

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?

)

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?

Knowlesy · 11 Mar 2007, 18:53 (Ref:1863751)

Hmmm.

ralf fan · 11 Mar 2007, 20:18 (Ref:1863823)

Oh dear....last....... i tell ya' its that damn Toyota....

Knowlesy · 11 Mar 2007, 20:20 (Ref:1863826)

You weren't last at all.

You were joint last.

ralf fan · 11 Mar 2007, 20:31 (Ref:1863839)

I think next time i will just copy and paste Saleen pick's....

Knowlesy · 11 Mar 2007, 21:10 (Ref:1863908)

Then you will finish not first.

Schummy · 11 Mar 2007, 21:24 (Ref:1863928)

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

jhansen · 12 Mar 2007, 15:26 (Ref:1864719)

Well

! My strategy got stoned...

ralf fan · 12 Mar 2007, 16:50 (Ref:1864791)

Or maybe you were stoned when you picked your strategy....

A good start to the competition, I'm very pleased with the new crystal ball I purchased in the off season.

My faith in Stoner is unwavering

, yesterdays win makes up for all the times I picked him in last years competition and watched him bite the dust.

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.

Yes, he will. If the member in question had done so from the start.

Schummy · 13 Mar 2007, 00:21 (Ref:1865233)

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.

Yeah, to what looked like a 12-year-old.

Did anyone else think that?

I wonder where he is residing to legally pull that one off? Very dodgy.

Anyway, seems to make him ride better. Again,

David! This a family forum!

Bleu · 13 Mar 2007, 11:01 (Ref:1865481)

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)

Schummy · 13 Mar 2007, 15:09 (Ref:1865625)

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.

Schummy · 23 Mar 2007, 12:32 (Ref:1874444)

Guessing for Xerez GP is "officially" opened

Please, post in ascending order: 125, 250 and MotoGP

Just an example (but valid just in case I forget to make my proper guess!

)
