MOTOGP » Rossi targets ton on happy hunting ground

quick ref to the pop ups...I don't have any and only use windws XP popup blocker set to high. tbh was surprised the site had any as don't even get notification of any being blocked.

As to Rossi...I really hope he has a good race. I think he probably needs a 'pick-me-up' and it would be nice to see him nail his 100th. he might leave for rallying or whatever but when he's on the pace he's a real terrier and is capable of great racecraft. I don't want the fire in his belly he has fro racing bikes go elsewhere!

Rossi was interviewed on Australian TV where he said a move to Ducati was not being ruled out for 2009. That appears to have been designed to get some action from Yamaha and Michelin for next year.

On the pop-ups - I use Opera and have never had a problem.

Predictions for 2008
Still multi choice tire manufactures BUT riders will chose tires after viewing the track,and a larger supply pool both front and back.
Rossi to use Bridgestone not sure where this will leave Lorenzo, as he is to have equal equipment to Rossi,but we do all know some are more equal than others.
Alex Barros to become a development rider.
Ducati to have 2 engines,short stoke for fast tracks,long stroke for tight tracks.
Not sure how Loris will look in blue leathers,,,,,,"Little Boy Blue" comes to mind.
West a big chance this week end?????

I don't understand why Ducati wants Rossi. Right now they have their champion running away with win1; win2 win3..... at half the salary, maybe??? Ducati have already the other trohphs as well for this year. It would nice if he leave Yammie, go to Suzuki for a change to see if he can improve their bike to fight with the twins, air cool stuff.

Re: pop ups, never had one from this site ever. Using 2007 Norton on Vista 64x Ultimate.

It would be good to see Vale get his 100th at mugello in 08 that'll be special.

Ducati will not take Rossi if he ask for to much money. Same happened with Biaggi, they just told him to put his feet on the ground.

Pop ups and such, no problem here, use Firefox with NoScript plug in where you have full control over which scripts and pop ups are allowed to work.

About Sepang, well I'll put the money on Casey if its dry, or on one of the Australians if it is rain on Sunday.

Rossi will take the win at Sepang, it looked close last year but i was there and he was never really threatened, he seemed to have the edge on every lap.

I am not so sure about Rossi if he will take the win at Sepang. Last year, Stoner was also fast on that track and he has a lot of confidence at the moment.
It will all depend on the weather though, we will wait and see..

For the moment Ducati has probably one of the best teams for next year, so for the moment there is no reason for them to sign Rossi in then a commercial one.

I seem to remember the Suzuki's were ultra quick at Sepang during the pre-season tests. They were rubbish at PI and the Prac and Qual over the weekend showed that would follow. Still 7th & 8th was a good result for a track they struggled at.

Maybe we could see Hopkins on the top step?

Still Malaysia is a pretty damn hot. IIRC I heard comments on Foxsports that the Michelins were more happy in the warmer climates, over the Bridgestones.

If anyone has seen the remarks made by Valentino regarding a question asked by someone interviewing him, I would say that the likely hood of him ending his career at Ducati is very likely.

I'm sure the italians would love him in the team & it would be a perfect way to end his MotoGp career.

As for these god damn popups yes I get 6 or 7 every time i visit this site now days & is very anoying.
