2007 MotoGP of France (Vermuelen Wins) Your thoughts?

Post by <T-K> » Fri May 18, 2007 10:47 pm

If Casey Stoner and Ducati can again beat Valentino Rossi and Yamaha at this weekend's French Grand Prix, then they can probably beat them anywhere.

A stunning start to the new 800cc era has seen Stoner win three of the first four rounds of the 2007 MotoGP World Championship - Rossi taking victory in the other - but the Le Mans circuit should mark Casey's biggest test so far.

Whilst refusing to admit defeat, Rossi claimed to be very pleased with second place to Stoner last time out at Shanghai, a circuit with the longest straight on the MotoGP calendar and potentially Yamaha's worst of the year. Rossi is thus relishing a more equal battle with Stoner this weekend.
