Evs7 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Ok I know a wheel hasn't been turned in anger yet in the 2009 season but anyone want to make any predictions for the new season?I reckon it will be Capirossi's and Edward's last season in the top class. too many young guys coming through.I reckon Toseland will have another good year. Will land a ride on the Factory Suzuki for 2010.Top three will be Rossi/Stoner and either Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Dovi or Hayden.I have a funny hunch something strange is going to happen. Last time I had this feeling I said to myself Stoner would win the title on the Ducati and he did.So I'm off down the bookies to put £5 on Hayden and Dovi each to win the 2009 title. Don't ask me why, just a funny feeling. Quote
techno Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I think It will be a straight battle between Rossi and stoner, followed by Dovi in third as he hands pedders his tiny bottom on a plate.Maybe if Lorenzo can keep his ass on a seat he could gate crash the party for third!Toseland will have to have a real good year to get a deal for 2010 and it should be Edweards last year in the class.Gibbers will be counting his dosh and kallio to be top rookie.(cos i cant remember who the other rookies are ) Quote
Evs7 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Rookies : Canepa, Kallio, Takahashi, and (not really a rookie) but Gibernau Quote
techno Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 So canepa aginst kallio then team mates too hmmm, takahashi not looking good at the mo and gibbers surely will not be classed as a rookie. Quote
yorbandit Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Well i think ya all wrong 2 horse race my arse rossi, stoner, lorenzo, pedrosa and dovizozo by the start of the season hayden will be up to pace and be taking points of all of them as well, then depending on tracks etc there will be others in there as well, should be an exciting season far better than the last 2 any way Quote
techno Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Lets hope your right roy, stil cant see past Rossi or stoner for the title tho especially all on the same tyres.Only see Dovi as a dark horse cos he moved to works honda, need to see how much better that makes him go. Quote
Guest nastro azzurro Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Dunno why i am bothering here as i am gonna get slated for been biased towards the Italian God of all things 2 wheeled...... Rossi...... He showed he can comeback from been written off the last 2 years..... This guy is a winner.... and atm is the only thing making GP's worth watching.Anyway.... good luck to the rest........ JT also.... though he really gotta pull his finger out this year or he will be creeping back to WSB or even BSB with his tail between his legs, Harsh maybe but thats the way things is in topline sport..... I REALLY do wish him well though and that he gets some consistent results.......Hope Hayden does good on the Duc too..... And Spanks the little Ozzies Butt..... Gorgy should do well if he keeps on the thing!!!!Dovi will Kick Peddlers AssSete should of stayed retired.........But there can be only one.... Yamaha are already making big leaps forward with making the bike work on them Bridgestones........Rossi will win his 9th title. Quote
yorbandit Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I still think rossi will win it , i just think he will have to try a tad harder than previous years and we will get better racing because of this and yes nastro my dosh would be on rossi Quote
techno Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Nice to see Rossi is giving George the respect he deserves by insisting the wall is kept down the middle of the garage, but I still believe it is between Rossi and stoner for the title. Quote
Ratser Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I don't dislike any of the riders, or bikes for that matter.But I would like to see Stoner win it back. Quote
Guest nastro azzurro Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I still think rossi will win it , i just think he will have to try a tad harder than previous years and we will get better racing because of this and yes nastro my dosh would be on rossi Rossi is in better shape this year than ever before.... He proper put his self through a more tougher fitness regime to regain the title..... Yamaha also did the Bizness for him by giving him the best bike on the grid.... Credit there to Burgess and ALL the guy's who did any kind of testing at the end of 2007.it would however.... be very interesting to see how Rossi would fare with a different enginneer other than Burgess..... Alot of credit MUST be given to him..... Quote

cossie916 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I would like to see JT improve this year but who knows?Rossi and Stoner are still the most likely two to grab the title, closely followed by Dovi and Lorenzo to 3rd and 4th with Pedrosa brining up the rear of these in 5th.Hopefully JT will slot in after that but I can't see it! It would be interesting to store these predictions to see how close we were! Quote
yorbandit Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Do not fear peeps as currrent TMBF fantasy motorbike league world champion i will set us up a league adain nexxt year then once again we can see how good our pedictions are Quote
techno Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Think theres gonna be some tough decisions to make next year roy, with no obvious choices in wsb or bsb. Quote
Evs7 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 well as stated before, Don't ask me why because I think Rossi will win the title again. BUTI'm going to the bookies to put some money on Dovizioso and Hayden to win the title. I have a feeling something strange will happen next year.Either Honda will come out with a bike that is s*** hot and then Dovi will ride away with it. Or the Ducati and Hayden will work and with everyone else tripping everyone else up he'll win.I may be wrong but last time I was going to put a crazy bet on was Dec 06 and I was going to put a bet on Stoner.

DutchMick Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 As long as every race can be as exciting as Laguna Seca last year I'll be happy Quote
