We'll see. If Stoner is as good this year as he was both before and after his bail-out, there's no-one out there going to beat him. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I predict a certain Mercedes driving German's neck injury to be "worse than first suspected" by about race seven. Vettel Alonso Hamilton Oh the original thing ... Rossi Stoner someone else of no consequence.
No, but from what I've seen & heard[1] the pole sitter will invariably win, with it being even more processional than in previous years. [1] I don't watch F1, but I saw a bit on the news and there was a bit about it on the wireless this morning.
Yebbut only because his engine went off song a few laps from the end and he ended up fourth. If his exhaust had not broken he would have won. IOW, the pole sitter will win unless something breaks or he screws up.

Mechanical issues are all part of the process and he succumbed to them. If that shit continues, he'll win **** all. It was incredibly boring even when comparing boring to being dead. I only watched it coz I had **** all better to do for an hour and I still couldn't stand to watch if from start to finish. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
There IS no "certainty" in racing. Ever. Even a one horse race can be lost through events outside the control of the rider. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Oh for fucks sake. Does that areshole of a phrase not register with you? "To finish first, first you've got to finish" and this is exactly why the phrase came into existance. No "if's" "but's" or "maybe's". To win you've got to fucking finish and if things break, "Shit man, that's racing, innit"? As a test of your theory, why not bet your house on the outcome of the race? After all, there's no chance he'll lose is there? -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
C'mon, guys. You know exactly what the issue is. Waiting for a mistake or mechanical failure ain't much fun. Dicing and passes are the lure. Nobody wants to watch a game of follow the leader.
Who wants to watch a procession of cars going round and round a circuit until something breaks ?. Thats not a race, its a bloody parade.
I got really excited at one point. The missus brought me a great cup of tea. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
