MotoGP Round 9: TT-Assen

[Corny]

After having a one year off I'll be back in Assen again, both friday and saturday (in Assen the race is on saturday, as you all know).. I just hope to see an interesting race finally this year. The last years (2004 Rossi vs Gibernau, 2005 Rossi vs Melandri, 2006 Hayden vs Edwards, 2007 Stoner vs Rossi) gave us masterstuff of racing in Assen.

I think Stoner will be hard to beat now that he's got his bike running in his way again. He's my favourite
You can never rule out Vale, especially after last year.
The michelins always work well at Assen, so Pedrosa has also got a good chance. It won't surprise me if Hayden steps up the podium, he's always riding so well in Assen.

I will be in the flying stand above the GT (last chicane) on friday, and on Ramshoek on saturday. Hope you'll all enjoy it as much as I will!

Roll on Assen!

Now we know were to place the snipers

Stoner 6 tenths faster than Nicky on second place..

Sure Hayden will get a good result on saturday

[Corny]

you can shoot me if Stoner is not going to win this GP

If stoner wins that will be a big Michelin upset. Michelin has won this race for the last 6 or 7 years.

I would like to see Casey win it and start to really claw back some championship points.

I would like to see a wet race, and watch Ant show his wet racing magic

I think we can safely say that Marco won't be winning it. He doesn't seem to be even trying now.

Over 3s slower than Stoner and 1.5 sec slower than Guintoli on the Alice bike.

He's being paid to give 100% regardless of what he thinks about the team or the bike.

I think it's time for Marco to clean out his desk IMO

Julian Ryder reports on Superbike Planet (written after the sessions we saw on Eurosport today) that Ben Spies doesn't fancy it after missing Friday practice (he is in Assen):
