Until Papa joins this board I post this here. You can go to: http://www.reduc.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2859 To see the original thread, but here's a copy. I know STT is late to the game so this just gives you an advantage. _____________________________________________ from Papa Thiam: Intofast is getting excited, so let's go. Predictions for AMA Superbike, World Superbike and MotoGP. Entries for each series close when first practice round starts. Let's expand to Top 5 this year. Points awarded at season end as follows: - 1 pt per rider randomly in the top 5 (e.g. your choice for #4 finished #2) - 5 pts per rider in the correct top 5 position - 5 bonus points for the correct Top 3 - 15 bonus points for the correct Top 5 ____________________________ My picks are/were: MotoGP 1) Valentino Rossi 2) Marco Melandri 3) Nicky Hayden 4) Dani Pedrosa 5) Sete Gibernau I list the next two, just because, ... 6) Colin Edwards 7) Chris Vermeulen WSB 1) Troy Corser 2) Troy Bayliss 3) Noriyuki Haga 4) James Toseland 5) Ruben Xaus AMA Superbike 1) Mat Mladin 2) Ben Spies 3) Niel Hodgson 4) Ben Bostrom 5) Miguel Duhamel It would be nice if Yamaha were in SuperBike.
I have posted them. Give it some time for them to quit crying in their milk, er... I mean beer, yeah, yeah that's it, beer. What are your picks gigantic?
Initially, i'd picked Rossi with Hayden & Melandri battling it out for 2nd. hut seeing the lap times put in by Hopkins , vermuellen and others, it could be anyone's game this year. heck even Gravelnau looks good in preseason testingthe others: wsb: Corser Toseland Bayliss I'd like to see Haga do well, but he's gotta stop crashing. AMA Mladin Spies Duhamel/Hodgson either or. i don't think either bike is particularly competitive. Truth be told, i'm not that big a fan of AMA racing. I think CCS/ASRA is more exciting. since I don't have cable, it doesn't matter to me that they don' televise it, but i'd like to see it get more exposeure, nonetheless. The AMA should get out of racing & turn it over to a corp. that can properly promote it. AMA's administration of pro racing is a bad joke. the Daytona 200, a prime example of that, sadly.
The MotoGP & AMA polls I started didn't get much feedback either. They might pick up after some early season results help people decide which bandwagon they want to jump on.
Guys go look at the Reduc site for this link its about 5 pages long. I've asked all those people to move their posts here. I think some of them want to make changes to their picks and they're waiting for March 31st when the Reduc site is scheduled to shoot its last e- (that's an electron to the scientifficaly challenged ) so no-one can find evidence of changes. i.e. cheating :roll:
