Young Pup or Old Dog in Assen?

comment on the article

I'm sick of this constant stream of 'none news' about the FIA and Fota situation so lets talk MotoGP

It's incredibly that Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner and Jorge Lorenzo will start at Assen this weekend tied on 106 points in the Champioship. Jorge will be keen to exact revenge for Vale passing him in the last corner and stealing his win last time out. It will be another showtime from the two Yam drivers in Assen.

This is going to be the trickiest MotoGP Fantasy League prediction so far.

I put 1.Lorenzo 2.Rossi for Catalunya (despite being a Rossi fan)... nearly there!

Now I'm checking what the weathers predicted to be like for the race and I still don't know who to put where??

All I do know is, Team Scot are going to be praying it isn't a flag-to-flag race laugh

Mr Wilko B Eng. The word(s) at the top of the page do indeed say "Moto GP", so why mention F*rm*l* 1 on here in the first place?sleepy

"elgoog - in days gone by it was always run on a Sunday for religious reasons, it's now just really tradition, the WSBK round is run on a Sunday these days"

obviously should read 'NOT run on a Sunday for religious reasons'!

He ain't that old and he comes to no-one's heel, so if it's Fox Rossi you mean, quit with the animal downgrade! Weather map worrying, hope the storm-pockets shab off (upwind?; like others, would love to see a dry, balls-out blast - all the best now know enough about each other to make it really interesting, psycho, techno and talent. No injuries in practice, pleeese!

Maybe Lin Jarvis just needs to pop on TV and say "Im going to break away and form my own championship, taking Rossi and Jorge with me" and they can sock it out on their own all year. That would hopefully pull the Beebs attention. I mean the F1 row has gone and suddenly everyone in Britain has no idea that we have returned to arguably the most prestigious event on the GP calendar.

Rossi is going to whip Lorenzo come seasons end though, unless Jorge yanks the rug from under Rossi at the last corner at Misano. Tit for tat, I kno Rossi is mentally strong but if Jorge did to him what Vale did to Jorge in Barca, I dont know if Rossi is actually too old to care about giving back retribution.
