Catalan Grand Prix - Preview.

Vale, Jorge, Dani - Be afraid, be very afraid. The Red-Storm cometh! Yes this is the weekend that Ducati finally get their act together and produce a race winning bike for the greatest and most successful rider in the history of 800cc motorcycle racing. Natural equilibrium will be restored soon.

Rossettes - I believe there's an help-line being set up at 461010. That's 46 one nothing, one nothing. Read it and weep groupies...

Come on stoner has no chance,now when rossi has a good bike stoner is way behind rossi so you can just dream that red-storm will bounce back,vale,dani and lorenzo will be in front of him for sure in the race.

RACE PREDICTION:
1.Rossi
2.Dani
3.Lorenzo

I think Lorenzo is stronger than dani so he will be infront of him, if they dont stop rossi this weekend it's over he will win at least 10-11 races as he has the best tyes and bike like stoner last year, plus at least at one race we will have a yamaha 1,2,3,4 boring

You gotta expect a Spaniard on the podium, this is an important race for Pedrosa and Lorenzo. Rossi is very much on form, and the Yamahas are competitive so he's going to be at the sharp end for sure. Stoner, my prediction 3rd. or 4th.

I reckon Ferrari1's prediction is gonna be pretty close, although the order could change.

Hahaha... the red storm will only materialise as a light passing breeze like each race since Qatar!

I hope to see Stoner fighting for the win along with the other front boys as I enjoy the great, hard fough, close races... but it is funny watching the Stoner huggers squirm and b1tch and moan! oh the harsh realisation that although stoner is very good he is not yet the best! the fact he has best 800cc record so far means it is one more record Rossi is going to break! although stoner is likely to get it back with time as he is a lot younger... providing he can survive Lorenzo as he improves, which he will! scary eh!

Monty Monty Monty. I'm a Stoner fan but I think you're a T0ss4r.

It's gonna be hard to beat Rossi but Dani will be more determined than ever.

Personally hoping Stoner will put in a good performance and end up on the podium. A win could be asking a little much but you never know.

I think Lorenzo might try a little too hard and crash. Hope not. A 4 way battle up front is just what the doctor ordered (Not Doctor Rossi)

Hey my first post as a registered user and a bold name. Woo Hoo. And look at the extra options you get.

Obviously I get excited easily

I just hope Brad Pitt is not at the race so the tv
producers can concentrate on the race instead of the celebs!!!

Also hoping Stoner wins, but no doubt it will be a fight with Rossi, Pedrosa and Lorenzo, thats if he dosent hurt himself (JL)trying to stick his bike on pole!

Rossi is unbeatable at the moment....

1. Rossi
2. Lorenzo
3. Pedrosa

This could be the weekend that we remember for a long time, all signs point to a great 4way battle. Maybe bridgestones the difference, Rossi, stoner, who knows lorenzo can do anything and Dani more than capable of the win.

Da Rock - You clearly missed out on an education as you appear to be of very limited intelligence. Hence, I am hardly surprised at your excitement over such trivial gimmickry.

You're all looney. I don't care who wins as long it's a good race. Nothing sucks more than anyone winning several seconds ahead of the others. I want to see elbows in the last bend

Here's my prediction:
1 West
2 Malandri
3 Hayden

Now is this a prediction of the race result or who is going to get fired if they don't perform this weekend?

If a Spaniard must win the race then I hope it's Elias

I'm not gonna make a prediction till i've seen how
a couple of the practice sessions are going.

But i do think it could be a good 4 way battle this weekend
unless george has problems setting up the M1 again, or the
michelin's dont work...or the ducati has the same problems
as it did in le mans.

Obviously Rossi is the man to beat, he's gonna be full of confidence
and he's riding as good as ever at the moment, catalunya is one of his
best tracks so if i had to pick a winner, i'd put my pocket money on
rossi for this one.

Either way, i'd like to see a good race, and if rossi doesn't win
im sure he'll be 2nd or 3rd, so he shudn't lose too many points.

Roll on tomorrow!

Da Rock, welcome to the forums and good on you for registering. Hopefully, the number of us registered users will grow and decrease the amount of mindless wind-ups.

Pedrosa is going to be strong here. There was very little difference on the straight between him and Stoner at Mugello, and he loves the track. He might be right if he can get a decent lead, but I think the Michelin's won't be doing him an favours at the end.

The longer straight should help Stoner and Pedrosa stay with Rossi and Lorenzo who may have to do extra work on the corners to keep up.

My pre-FP1 predictions (subject to change) are.

1. Stoner
2. Pedrosa
3. Rossi

Da Rock do you get Tesco club card points as a registered user

Hopefully it will be a good race cos i'll be there in the stands, once work is over today its onto the ferry from portsmouth tonight, if anyone else on here is going i might see you in the rain going through france 2moro!!!look out for the telefonica cbr600rr!!!

Like you'd care...

With ya bloody nectar points Oliver!

Go make me some dinner!

Marty Cowan do you not watch the races? Valentino has won the last 3!

P.S. it should be 'won nothing, won nothing' in order for this 'joke' to make sense
