Will Honda win any 250cc races this year?
OK they're a fair bit more competitive currently than KTM in the 125cc class. Sebastian Porto looked like winning the Suzuka race at one stage and Rolfo is 2nd in the championship with 2 podium finishes.
But will Honda win a 250cc race in 2003 - or is this going to be their second successive winless 250cc season (?) Will Aprilia end up with 16/16 in the 250s this year? If Honda don't win, will Yamaha (Matsudo)? |

IMO they will eventually crack it for a win. The Honda is still going through development, but at times it has looked very competitive.

I don't think so, unless something very unusual happens. The best Aprilias are simply too fast and all of them crashing or retiring is unlikely. And if the factory Aprilias do fail there are several fast privateer Aprilias to make the lives of the Honda riders miserable.

Rolfo only finished around 2 seconds behind Nieto at Donington Park, and he's been bloody consistent all year. If Honda are to win, he's the man who will do it.

Sachsenring: Honda 1-2 on the grid.
This may be Honda's chance to win...
