I think HRC has this weekend in the bag. Pedro has been on pole last two events, Stoner has been fast ever since he threw a leg over the RCV, and Jorge won here last year. I say it's

Pedro, Stoner, and Jorge drinking the champagne...

Until Simo can prove he can be fast AND finish...NO. As for Spies he will be fast, he will podium, but it is gonna take a F up from one of the 3 I mentioned for the podium for him to place...and yes they have done it before.

He wont get one in France. Not with that power delivery

I think Simo is so fast because he is using less TC and is paying the price in concussions...I dont see Ben recovering his ego at Le mans. Dude is quick anywhere, but stop and go may not be his forte.

I do agree that a light rider/bike combo will work best and acceleration and braking stability will be king on Sunday. So I am not looking for a Ducati to podium.

I thought the ducs were supposed to be one of the better top end plants? Or are you adding in the hrc transmission advantage?
