MotoGP Brno, One More Stoner!

If you are looking for a close fight in MotoGP you would better tune on your TV this weekend. Tough Stoner seems to have the upper hand over his rivals after won his 6th victory in Laguna Seca three weeks ago, the season break will give more time for other bikes other than Ducati to improve their performance. Besides, some top racers including Hopkins, Pedrosa, and Rossi are boosted to have their hottest race this year.

Brno as a matter of fact is a very enjoyable circuit for many riders. Partly because some of them have won for times. Pedrosa who has very happy vocation in the beach feel very relax to compete again. He knows the track better than others in more small bikes like 800cc he rides know. He got his first 250cc podium in 2005 and 125cc in 2003. Meanwhile Rossi still remembers his turn back performance here in Checz Republic after long bad days in pervious races in 2006 season. Though his bikes showed the weakness during Laguna Seca race, but he believe that Michelin and Yamaha had prepared the bikes for this technical circuit.

But the true contender for Stoner this weekend comes from his team mate, Capirossi. Being kicked off by Ducati, he will prove his potential once again by intention to climb the first podium. It is possible due to his track record last year. In the end of the last season, Ducati became strongest by grabbing three victories in Brno, Suzuka, and Valencia. Capirossi claim the fist two, and others by the replacement rider, Troy Bayliss.

Meanwhile Stoner seeks his seventh victory. He knows Ducati has all factors to win. After breaking the curse of pole sitter in Laguna Seca, his confidence grows bigger. He hardly made mistakes too. Just put your money on this wondering young gun! But still to come the close fight. Be that Ducati is stronger, but this season is full of surprise, even for Ducati. For some circuit where Ducati is traditionally strong, just ended up with mess. In another side, it was just perfect in Laguna Seca, a circuit the team was struggling for years…

One thing to remember, it will be just perfect if Stoner or Capirossi wins the grand prix. Ducati has the same color to Indonesian national flag. Subjective, of course. But it is still great and much funnier for me. Hopefully for you too in this commemoration of our 62nd independence day!

How about your prediction?
