Jorge & Dani Recover - Sachsensring

comment on the article

This weekend will not be so easy for Valentino Rossi as the MotoGP circus moves to the Sachenring. With both the badly injured Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa having mended significantly by this weekend,Jorge will have two arms to control his bike with and both riders will be in less pain.

The doubts in Casey Stoner's mind about his fitness will also have been relieved as he has been treated for a gastric problem.
With those three able to concentrate 100% on racing,

Rossi will find himself competing at a track that he admits is not to his liking and certainly not his favourite venue.Rossi was lucky last year to finish second, thanks to Dani Pedrosa crashing out of the lead.

My prediction will be another great race with all four of them mixing it and both Rossi and Lorenzo on the Podium with Lorenzo as usual looking down on his shorter team-mate

I really hope that Lorenzo wins this weekend in Germany. I think he's on top form- an amazing rider at such a young age. Rossi is obviously still amazing and I feel really sorry for Stoner- even though I'm not his biggest fan. There's been some incredible races this year, and I hope there's a lot more to come- expecially next year when I'll be attending the Mugello and Barcelona races :P

Think you're spot on here, definately think Lorenzo will be well up for improving his record at the Sachensring for sure - I've read he's still not 100% but much improved after a weeks rest and you know he'll give you everything he can. Pedrosa seems to be getting better and better over recent races, obvisously recovered from his injuries and flies at the start! I think it should be a really exciting weekend and Rossi will be pushed to the max, but knowing him he'll pull some moment of brilliance as he does, you don't win 100 GP races by luck alone! - I can't wait, and am definately looking forward to Donington on the 26th, I'll be there for sure!
