First Five For 2001 500cc's

Airhead · 17 Dec 2000, 10:33 (Ref:52950)

Lets start a first five prediction thread for all the major international categories, international so everyone can be involved.

For the 500's

1. Rossi
2. McCoy
3. Roberts (the younger)
4. Biaggi
5. Jacques

Let's do the other categories as separate threads.

yamaha will be the bike of 2001, but rossi will win the title from.....

2.biaggi

3.haga
4.roberts
5.mccoy

Valentinik · 17 Dec 2000, 15:01 (Ref:52998)

1. Valentino Rossi
2. Kenny Roberts
3. Garry McCoy
4. Max Biaggi

The top four will be a class apart 5th could go to a number of riders. I would like it to be either Jurgen van den Goorbergh or Chris Walker. Optimistic, but more likely than Alex Criville finishing top five.

I believe those top 4 are all so good that on a track by track basis NOBODY can give a good opinion for that weekend's results till the day before the race based on inside pit info on how all their tire's are working, how their chassis' are working, and how the rider is feeling.

If that is the case... the Champion will be the guy with the most consistency, and the most appreciation for accumulating points.... and that is ....Kenny Roberts.

The rest is purely circunstantial, based on who has more crashes, and who has more "bad chassis" days.

Kenny Roberts will bore you all the way to the Championship.

By the way.... the top four are... Rossi, McCoy, Roberts, and Haga.

And... There is one wild card in here in my mind.

Haga

It is possible that this is where his riding style belonged all along, and that he could come away with the most wins for the season.

Only he and Yamaha testing people know as of now.

And isn't this all 4 or 5 months away ???

When and where is the first race?

Airhead · 17 Dec 2000, 23:20 (Ref:53082)

It's interesting we have the same group.

Yes Lazy Boy it is 4 months away but last night this thread was the result of my withdrawl symptoms setting in already.

elephino · 18 Dec 2000, 11:35 (Ref:53143)

As I pull 5 names from a hat, as that is about as accurate as any prediction will be...

1. Rossi
2. McCoy
3. Haga
4. Roberts
5. vd Goorbergh

Ollie G · 18 Dec 2000, 12:33 (Ref:53149)

No doubt about how is gonna win it.
1. Rossi

Others are harder to predict.
Carlos, if he is consistant, will stand a good chance so he will be,
2. Checa
3. Kenny Roberts
4. Capirossi
5. McCoy

Rossifumi · 18 Dec 2000, 13:52 (Ref:53163)

This one isn't that hard as the superbikes one!

1. Rossi (no doubt in my mind)

2. Biaggi
3. Roberts
4. v/d Goorbergh (with a little luck!)
5. Nakano

dododo · 18 Dec 2000, 23:19 (Ref:53238)

Let me try this:

1)jaques
2)vd Goorbergh
3)Rossi
4)Roberts
5)Biaggi
6)McCoy
7)Checa
8)Capirossi
9)Nakano
10)Haga

But not Particularly in that order.

elephino · 19 Dec 2000, 10:27 (Ref:53283)

That's cheating dododo

Mind you, I wouldn't want to attempt to pick the top 10 in the correct order.
