Young Danilo and IODA
As usual up front and George ruled the weekend.
Inasmuch as CRT are concerened that 20 year old Italian with the pipe frame V 4 has got my attention.
Battle of Two
Stoner is still showing up than Pedrosa has the tag of team leader in a symbolic matter, ¿Alberto's puig going mad again?. i'll expect than Stoner continue to show some lessons to dani, less complaints and keep focus on a objective and you will be rewarded (Championship), looks like than this season only will be of two, Stoner and lorenzo, Ducati still struggling with problems and that's not good to their fanatics and the factory itself.
CRT's hmm. the ART's from Aspar looks better and runs better than the Suter-BMW.
Now it's time for wait for the first race, ¡Bring it!
2012 Championship Standings Finishing Order?
Are these lap-times the finishing order to the 2012 Championship? Casey Stoner maybe be sandbagging his true pace, saving it and himself for the races/Championship. Hayden and Spies are finally on a 1000cc again. They should be able to show what they are really capable of compared to the 800cc. Bring on Qatar already!
Re: 2012 Championship Standings Finishing Order?
If so, then Cal is going to have a hell of a second year! More to the point, I think that Yamaha might take Ben to the podium on a regular basis.
RE: genx
I sure hope that you're right. As much as I like Ben Spies (his thievery of Haga's title aside, haha), he's in a precarious position. It's no secret that Andrea Dovizioso is very anxious to steal his seat.
Tyres
I'll just be happy if the racing is a little more entertaining this year. It does appear the M1's are closer, even without Honda's fancy gearbox that "costs more than a house".
Very happy to see Cal Crutchlow up amongst the leaders. He has something of the mongrel in him, and he will be more than up for scrapping this year with the big dogs. Everyone spoke of Dovi's hunger for a Factory ride - reckon Cal has enough fire to burn his team-mate this year.
