After 2 free practice sessions, Rossi and Pedrosa are pulling down the fastest times in Estoril. Stoner is barely in the top 10 fastest so far. It would be great if this Sunday ends up being a tight battle between the two. After the win in Spain, 2 weeks ago, Pedrosa now holds the lead, as far as world championship points go. Rossi has never finished off the podium in Portugal and I’m sure would love to sneak ahead of Pedrosa, in the points (he is currently in third position). In contrast, last year was the first time that Pedrosa had a podium finish in Portugal. Estoril is an exciting track for GP because it is oldschool and super technical, like Laguna, with a lot of change in elevation and bumps exiting the corners. I would like to see Rossi win on Sunday. It would also be nice, but less probable, to see Hayden finish on the podium. Go Rossi. Go Hayden. As always, I’m taking reservations for seating on the couch Sunday.
