If you where in Rossi's position with Gibernau or Lorenze's position would you have gone for the pass or not.

Can you repeat the question?! |
I think he means Melandri...
In Melandri's case he went for a gap that wasn't there (not a deliberate punt, an error in judgement) If I remember correctly with Gibbers, Gibbers left the door open for a pass and tried to come back too late... I would have gone for that definitely.
My predictions for the year:
MotoGP - Rossi, Melandri, Hayden, Cappirossi all mixing it up at the front with bit parts for Pedrosa & Edwards
WSBk - The two Troys and Haga at teh front with JT chasing
BSB - Shakey, Lavilla & Kiyo. Perhaps Rutter & Haslam jnr
I haven't seen Pedrosa race at all so can't give comment on him but I think it will be the usual suspects in MotoGP. Rossi should take it if he doesn't start falling off. Racers start falling off cos they are under a lot of pressure and are trying too hard- with the others coming on, he is going to be under a lot more pressure than before.
Predictions of the exMotoGP boys causing mayhem in WSBK may be premature cos I don't seem to remember anyone moving to WSB and being more succesful than they were in MotoGP. I would tip Bayliss to take it if he stays in the seat. It was noticeable that Corser only performed well when he got away at the front, he's not so good when he has to battle through.
For BSB I couldn't call it as there are a number of top class guys and it could be any of them. It will be exciting though aspecially as ITV have commited to show every race this year (for those of us who don't have Sky)
