Pedrosa heads to US, intends to race.

We wish you luck and all the best.

Hope Dani will be in "OK" shape and can take some good points there(25 if possible ).

Good luck Dani

Hopefully the pain-killers will do there job and you will able to get some points.

And if you manage somehow to get on the podium that will be a fracking master class.

Still cant see anyone stopping Casey though, unless yamaha have got something special for Valentino to at least challenge him with.

Role on laguna seca and (((-Go Dani Go-)))

good luck my friend.

just to remind you danni, look what is happening to lorenzo right now...

But didnt Lorenzo ride to a podium whilst still injured? it was the resulting crashes that hurt him more with regards to results! Dani will be fine, best of luck to him! Hopefully the Yamahas have something to take the fight to ducati. I think we will see nicky get his best result of the year unless he runs out of fuel!

I wouldn't bet my house on Stoner winning. What about Spies, could be a dark horse.
The Suzuki went well around there last year. I also think hayden will be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at a win. Stoner has to start thinking now. One more DNF and he's out of it.

Danny, grab as many points as you can and then you have a holiday to recover properly.

my prediction for Laguna :-

1 - Stoner
2 - Hayden
3 - Rossi
4 - Edwards
5 - Pedrosa

YAY!!! Good luck, Dani! I'll be with you .

For Lorenzo it's his first year in MotoGP but for Pedrosa he knows more what to expect and in his position he cannot give away precious points for the championship, anyway brave decision from Pedrosa I hope he can ride and score some decent points. I wouldn't mind to see the 3 title contender going to the last race in Valencia fighting for the number one plate.

No big supprise cos lets face it he carnt afford NOT to any points are better than none and it helps to keep the championship buzzin at the top,laguna seca is not a happy hunting ground for valentino but maybe on the bridgestones this year it could be i think he will certainly try and take advantage of pedrosa's situation and put in a strong performance, Rossi on the podium will do for me!

Go for it Dani, you might not smile very often but you can ride the wheels off that bike of yours. Lets just hope Ducati don't stick a new 8mb memory card in their playstation...sorry motorbike...

Is it just me or have the 125 races been much better to watch for the last few races. Good old fashioned overtaking, slipstreaming, out braking and riding 3 bikes side by side round the last corner etc. MotoGP needs all these ingredients putting back in as it now looks like scalextric for bikes. Remember Jerez 2005, Rossi and Gibernau on those last few laps, pure magic.

How tough are these guys. As a Rossi fan, I wish Dani all the luck in the world. These guys are the greatest sportsmen in the world

He can ride the wheels of that bike, but he just has to remember what way is up. And just for info, playstations are Japanese.

happy, If you have to go that far back for a good race you must have been asleep for a few years.

you've got to be joking that hayden is gonna be on the podium...

1. the bikes gotta finish the race..
2. everyone's on par with him round there now i'd say if not ahead of him
3. the honda still is far from the best bike out there
4. bridgestone owned the place last year
5. this is nicky hayden were talkin about, the bloke who only wins his hope gp or a race where he tries to wipe out the leader in the last corner..

1. stoner
2. rossi
3. vermulen

happy horace - It is just you! 125 racing has always been great to watch.

I think(hope) Dani has a little something in reserve for the race,he crashed heavily at Sepang but still got on the podium,crashed at PI on the 125(i think) broke both his ankles and returned the following year to his admitted bogey track to win(the win provided him with the world championship,when he could have played it safe in second and still won the c'ship next round)He's a terrier for sure,and he and Vale seem to be the only ones taking any form of fight to Casey and Ducati,Good luck Dani.

Watched every race for years Mille R. Was making a point about the 125 lads more than anything else, every race is quality, tight and competitive racing. MotoGP does have a few good races but it also has a few boring ones. And i'm not a rossi/ stoner/ pedrosa fanboy either. I'm British so have to support James as he's from here, but i don't expect miracles from him either. I just want to watch good close racing with several riders battling at the front.

Happy, I'm also British. I'm glad To52land did well at the beginning to get a contract for next year. As it is at the moment with a lot of the young guys around he may not have been offered one. Hopefully he is at the bottom and the only way is up. At least he knows Laguna. I'm also no Fanboy. I know who I like to watch and who I would like to go. If I could pick the result for Laguna it would be the following.
Toseland first. Stoner 2nd and Rossi and Danny mechanical failure. It would then be very tight at the top.

Glad to see Pedrosa's not going to miss this race, he would lose to much ground on the champ table if he didn't ride, so get some of those magic injections in yu and good luck hombray
