Well gents and ladies.

First race is upon us.

According to my (pre Warm-up data) Crystal ball I suggest:
Stoner and Lorenzo battling for lead (Stoner typically overtakes Lorenzo on straight, Lorenzo's Yamaha handles better in corners - same as Stoner/Rossi at Qatar_07). Rossi gapped to third, then a closer call.

Results as follows:

Stoner
Lorenzo 2nd (just 0.7s)
Rossi 3rd (8.3s)
Dovizioso (10.0s)
then Pedrosa
Edwards and Toseland together
De Angelis next.

Then gap to Vermeulen and Capirossi.

My crystal ball does not yet have a "balanced Racecraft setting" for the rookies (Lorenzo, Dovi, JT and De Angelis) so these may well surprise by a maximum of +/- 2s per race - which means Lorenzo could gap Stoner and take the win. If so he must do it before lap 18, as Stoner if leading on lap 18 will take the win. ''

Any other thoughts?

Race just finished.

So Lorenzo unable to maintain mid 1'55 lap times and sensibly letting Stoner go.

Well impressed with Pedrosa (metal plate in hand remember) getting 3rd. Rossi disappointing with 5th but was due to his tyres (all Bridgestone runners had exactly same compounds except Elias).

Am happy with my prediction and times. After warm-up I had Pedrosa up to 4th, Dovi to 5th. Nice profitable weekend including 100% success on qualifying investments !!!

Anyone fancy a ride ?

Hi Barrel, great race, strange flood lighting. I've been riding this morning....... skirting around fallen trees ! Great Fun !

HI, WELL DONE JAMES, IN FANTASYMOTOGP (on a limited budget) I had Lorenzo to be my top rider and a couple of others with my limited pot Dovvey and Melandri what a let down he was. Yep I also expected Stoner to win but also very pleased with attitude of Pedrosa......I'm sitting in 12th out of over 110 entries.....Jerez next any tips appreciated but it is a limited budget.........rgds Willie....p.s. and I'm not totally sure how it all works
