Hope we are in for a repeat of the last battle.

My prediction is for Rossi to win and Stoner to DNF.

Depends on whether Stoner fits a lanyard to his dummy so he doesn't lose it.

anybody think rossi is up to his mind games again ??
he tried it in the past with gibbers.

If Stoner has to race then Rossi will beat him, if its a time trial then Stoner will take it. Sad but true.
Make them swap bikes on the grid, that'll be good for a laugh,who'd you think would win that one?

Hi Auburn and welcome. Some collection you have there!
Funny that you should mention "mind games" 'cos I said that to a couple of friends
and we are in agreement with you. Somehow though I don't think Rossi will be as succsessful this time.

We shall see!

I am with you on this one Oldie, I think he learnt a very valuable lesson in the States. Hopefully the racing will be just as tight and intense! Entertainment plus, the way it used to be

, I cant wait

I think Casey has learned a lesson. I think in future he'll ride harder and let that do his talking, rather than the whining episode we had after Laguna......he looked ill in qualifying but was still half a second faster than Rossi......

**Imola Duke** · 16 Aug 08, 02:35 PM

Mind games! Rossi also has a ear/sinus infection according to the
Motogp website.
Blimey the mich's are crap... Toseland and another did not Qualify the
% time.

**nogaromill999** · 16 Aug 08, 02:57 PM

And Toseland was miles ahead of Pedrosa, who was 2nd to last.....

Well, in the session I watched Steve, which was around noon.....if they went out afterwards I havent seen it..just looked on that link and that MUST have been a later session, as the times they were doing when I watched were 1.57's......

**Imola Duke** · 17 Aug 08, 08:23 AM

Well it's looking like a repeat of the last round.
(warmup) rossi and stoner are in the 1m57's.... but all other top runners are in
the 1m29's!
also there was a riders meet about the proposed rule changes for 2009.
top of the agenda was TC and how many riders have been hurt this season (using it)
plus poor viewing figures across the world.
I reckon we will see a electronic ban very soon, plus rumour has it the riders will
be testing after the GP using no TC.
About time too......... I guess this one is not down to Honda but ALL the riders
apart from Stoner i guess........no wonder he looks ill

Good to see the sat dukes in the top 10

will stoner spit the dummy today ?
