[jujsp2]

moi aussi j'attends ce grand prix avec impatience mais je le regarderai en différé car ça tombe le dimanche ou je vais rouler à ledenon.

j'espère une belle bagarre entre les 3!!!
j'espère aussi que val va résoudre ces problèmes de rapidité de mise au point de sa machine pour la course! (c'est lui qui le dis)
Randy peux faire un bon résultat au vu de son début de saison c'est un circuit qui lui réussi

[massimo_46]

Salut a tous bon j espere que cette fois cette foutue pluie ne va pas venir gacher la fete.


Au moins ils vont se bastonner comme il faut.



J espere pour ma part que vale va tous les remettre a leurs places cad derriere lui

[FIREBLADE37]

Lorenzo va etre super motivé apres les bons resultats accumulés je le vois devant (s'il ne chute pas dans le tour de chauffe)

Ensuite Stoner plein de confiance qui retrouve son pilotage (gazzzzzzzzzz partout)

Ensuite Rossi , Edwards, Capi et Randy on va s'arreter là.

vivement ce week-end 24 heures au Mans et moto gp

Alors là, je dis chapeau la présentation

C'est vrai que ça peut être un GP marquant, faut voir......

PS : Pedrosa se remet d'une fracture du fémur, t'es sûr ?

[manu94600]

Oui il souffre d'une demi fracture du fémur.

[nin62]

merci pour la présentation!!!

super week end en perspective...

mais attention Lorenzo et Pedrosa sont chez eux, alors ça passe ou ça casse!!!

Sinon, ça m'étonnerait que Rossi fasse une nouvelle fois une mauvaise course (Le Mans et Mugello l'auront fait réfléchir...)

et Stoner ne devrait pas être en reste

Allez petit pronostic: 1. Rossi 2. Stoner 3. Lorenzo

[chrisgaz]

perso, je mettrais une piece sur Lorenzo, il m a bleuffé au Mugello... se mettre sur le flan dans le tour de chauffe, donc, partir en course avec le capital confiance ébréché, et finalement arrivé a tenir tete a Rossi, chez lui, dans son jardin, sans avoir commis de faute.... alors a Barcelone, il voudra certainement montrer que ce n est pas un hazard et qu il est capable de finir encore une fois devant Rossi.... mais attention a ne pas commettre la faute de Jerez... les espagnols sont chaud bouillant, voir meme un peu trop... ca serait dommage qu il se flanque le cul par terre chez lui...

[pechos1]

Pedrosa devrai bien être présent à Montmelo
Il passera aujourd'hui un examen pour confirmer tout ça

Sinon, ça m'étonnerait que Rossi fasse une nouvelle fois une mauvaise course (Le Mans et Mugello l'auront fait réfléchir...)

C'est là où je ne suis pas d'accord du tout..avec un mauvais choix de pneu, vu les conditions, Rossi fait une très belle course au Mugello.
Il est très fort à Barcelone, Lorenzo va être remonté comme une pendule, et Stoner va être dangeurreux. C'est le trio de tête, car je ne pense pas que Pedrosa sera suffisement remis.

(Oh oui merci pour cette magnifique présentation)


Ils ont tous une bonne raison de gagner... mais je pense surtout qu'au moins un de ces pilotes qui jouent encore le titre risque de partir à la faute.



Lorenzo and Rossi ready for Catalonian challenge

The Fiat Yamaha Team moves to Spain for the Grand Prix of Catalunya this week and after Valentino Rossi's home race in Italy last time out it is now Jorge Lorenzo's turn in the spotlight as the local hero. After a thrilling race in Mugello the pair now lie second and third in the championship and another exciting spectacle beckons this weekend at the high-speed Montmel��ack.

Mallorcan-born Lorenzo lived in Barcelona for much of his early career and after a brief hiatus in London last year he has now returned to live in his beloved home city. Following two wins and a brilliant second in Mugello the 22-year-old lies just four points off Casey Stoner in the championship standings and after disappointment on his last visit to Spain earlier this season he is determined to reach the podium in front of his fans this time out. Last year he was forced to miss the Catalunya round through injury after a crash in practice but he has won there previously in 250s and knows that home success is something special in front of the passionate and knowledgeable Spanish fans.

Montmel��s been a happy hunting ground for reigning World Champion Rossi in the past and he has no less than eight victories to his name there, but he has finished second for the past two years and would like a return to the top step at what is one of his favourite tracks. Last year he made an impressive charge through the field from ninth on the grid to take the runner-up spot but he is keen to strike back with a win this weekend to add to his victory in Jerez a few races ago and claim back points on his team-mate, whom he trails in the standings by five points.

The Circuit de Catalunya is similar to Mugello in that it features one of the longest main straights in the world. The rest of the track is characterised by long radius, medium and high-speed sweeping corners, with two tight left-hand hairpins thrown into the mix. This variation combined with regular changes in camber makes the circuit particularly demanding on chassis balance and means that front-end feel is a key concern for every rider. After the limit on testing this season, the Monday after the race will allow the teams their first chance to test since before the first race and it promises to be a crucial day of development before the busiest stage of the season.

Jorge Lorenzo - "One of my favourite tracks"
"I've had a great season so far but it hasn't all been perfect and I made a big mistake in Jerez when I tried to pass Stoner, so hopefully I can do better for my home fans this time! After Mugello and Le Mans we know that anything can happen and you just have to keep calm and focused. Now we're going to my home, the closest place to my Island of Mallorca and one of my favourite tracks. I've always been fast there, right back to when I went there for the first time when I was in 125s and got my first second row start. My main aim this time is to have a better weekend than last year and to completely forget what happened. I improved on last year in Mugello so hopefully I can do the same again in Barcelona."

Valentino Rossi - "Hoping for a second Spanish win!"
"Mugello was disappointing but still we took some good points and now, entering one of the most important phases of the championship, this is very important. We still haven't found the perfect answer to make my M1 exactly how I want but Barcelona is a good track for us so hopefully we can make the final step there, also since we will finally have a chance to test on Monday. Barcelona is, along with Mugello and Phillip Island, one of my favourite tracks and I always love racing there. I have taken one Spanish win so far this season so I am hoping for another this weekend. We need to keep focused and use what we learnt in Mugello to put us in the right shape. Finally I am hoping for good weather because I don't think these flag-to-flag races in the wet and the dry suit me very well!"
