Moto GP Predictions- Gran Premio Cinzano D' Italia

[Peanut]

Sete or Max will win this one!!!

Yup, I'm with ya.  Oh and Nicky or Colin completes the podium with Rossi 4th again.

You heard it here first....;)

Don't forget Biaggi got Respol sponsorship since the last round.  He just might be getting level 1 HRC now, which he didn't have in the past.

And after the first qualifier the results are:

1 Gibernau
2 Rossi
3 Biaggi
4 Melandri
5 Checa

Damn, 3 Yammie's out of the top 5! Reminds me of the early 90's!

and the first Ducati:

10 Capirossi (2 seconds slower than Sete)


I guess there goes that "Ducati is putting it all on the line to win" theory! Then again, qualifiying means nothing right...

[tigerblade]

Qualifying doesn't always mean much but 2 seconds is a little bit of time to find, isn't it?   ;)

Capirossi didn't exactly set the world on fire, did he?   :P ;D
  
1. Valentino Rossi
2. Sete Gibernau
3. Max Biaggi
4. Troy Bayliss
5. Ruben Xaus
6. Alex Barros
7. Norick Abe
8. Loris Capirossi
9. Marco Melandri
10. Shane Byrne

Have to admit, the Ducati guys sure took advantage of the restart and pushed themselves up front in the beginning.  Salvaged some results they wouldn't have had if not for the rain.

the re-start helped the Duc teams Rueben & Troy rode their colective butts off but the machine is out classed. Sete, Max & Valentino are so much better than everybody else. You might have a fluke top three finish by another rider but the consistancy is definately those three.

Hey, I called it. Rossi or a Honda...Not like it was hard to figure that out... ;D

I was impressed with the Duc's on the restart though! I thought Xaus may run away there for a second, until I saw Rossi reel him in from 5 bikes back in two corners.

I was just waiting for Xaus to bin it and take a couple others with him.
