At the moment Casey Stoner (Honda Repsol ) is first but Lorenzo (Yamaha ) is right after him.

Who do you think will win the champion?

Yamaha was the Champion last year. Honda on the other hand won the last championship about 5 years ago.

I wish Casey will be the man this year!



GO GO GO Honda!

 

I think that Casey will take it this year, hes been REALLY strong on the Repsol, Lorenzo is a great rider but too cocky for my taste, makes me wish Rossi had the GP11 down, but my money is on Casey this year

 

Must be a pretty big MotoGP fan to sign up for a car forum just to post this. lol

 

usually casey comes on stong towards the middle and end of each season, but from what i've seen so far this year if he keeps riding like he is he'll have no problem bringing home the championship.....but, anything can happen we all know that. we all saw what happened to rossi last year, and the fact that rossi isn't shining this year is another bonus for casey.

 

bump

 

I agree, Casey Stoner is on fire. I don't think anyone will be able to stop him this season.

 

Dani's fast but he hasn't been able to stay on the bike. Lorenzo's been too hard on his tires early, we've been seeing him fade late in the race. Stoner for sure.

 

Even if Rossi brought his A game with the duc Stoner is just to consistent and very dominant with the RC212. He took the bike that was pretty much designed for Pedrosa and is beating everybody with it. He's definitely a different kind of animal when it comes to riding. And ive just read that repsol honda just tested the 1000cc bikes for next yr and that Stoner was allready over a second faster than his race pace at brno this past weekend. This yr definitely belongs to Stoner. And going into next yr looks very promising as well

 

Powerful machine + Great rider = Podium.. For this season, Stoner is in the momentum, I think he will get the Championship.

 

I'm starting to feel bad for Rossi. I don't know what the problem is, he should be adjusted to the Duc by now. Maybe Yamaha is that much better than Ducatti.

 

history shows that rossi doesnt have issues jumping manufacturers, i honestly think he just doesnt want the championship this year. over the past decade hes done more than any other motogp rider, so he may just be taking a season off to refuel and give duc feedback on the bike.

and as for stoner, rossi has always been his achilles. hes just always been a better, smarter rider than stoner

 

Thats good to know, I just started watching last season and it seemed like a huge fail for Rossi this year. Thanks for the info

 

Hasn't Rossi had more of a develpment role this year anyway?

 

They started testing the 2012 bikes just recently.

The Ducati was more Stoner's bike than anyone else's.

 

I agree...that duc definitely was Stoner's bike. No one tamed that beast the way he did. Not even Rossi. Even Rossi is still complaining about the front end feel...or lack there of. That bike has definitely been a challenge for him.

 

Yup.I also think this year was meant for Stoner,Pedrosa & JL.

Rossi credible feats has been declined by quite margin after the 46' Doctor changed from Yamaha to Ducati....he also does complained about the bike but it seems opposite when it come to Stoner,who riding the bike aggressively to the world title in 2007.

Go Honda!

 

exactly...can yall imagine stoners aggressive style on the new 1000 for next year? Next yr is gonna be awesome!

 

Still too early to really tell, but from what I've seen this year so far this is Stoner's year, and now that Pedrosa is back he is playing the part of the wedge between Stoner and JL in points. Instead of the Stoner JL 1/2 finishes it's now Pedrosa coming in between and causing a bigger points hit to the loser.

 

I'm calling it. J-Lo is done challenging stoner.

 

JL is falling off and Spies is stepping up

 

+1

 

Well not quite... they all have different issues and their strengths vary at different tracks. It's obvious that Spies is getting better but Jorge sure isn't falling anywhere. I love Stoner's relentless aggression, but I think all of them are just so close and pushing to the limit every session. I'm loving the championship so far :D

And oh yeah, the factory ducaties are no faster than the private bikes... after all this development they are just not going any faster... only on tracks that really suit them.

 

I think it's kind of funny that after having little success the past couple of years in WSB they pulled out to focus on MotoGP and now Checa is running away with the WSB championship on one. lol

 

On a privateer bike at that. Checa is so consistent this yr. Def cheering for him this yr. Worked so hard and to be able to beat the factory teams is pretty amazing

 

yes you're right about JL. What I meant is that he hasnt done much to defend his title. Yea hes in second place in pts but obviously finishing at that position or further down in the grid isnt going to win the title. Stoner is a machine and in my opinion he's taking over where Rossi left off and I dont see him slowing down anytime time soon. And im telling ya next yr with the 1000's he's gonna b unstoppable. As far as Ducati goes theyve been racing the 1000cc chassis with a destroked 1000cc motor to meet the 800cc requirements.. Theyre gearing up for next season.
