Gavan Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Personally i think this is the best gp race for many years so many in the mix. Riders like Gollob and Hampel have not really hit top form at all yet are bang there. Holder had a bad first round but along with Nicki is riding the best at the moment. Hancock is plugging away and like Crump is there or thereabouts every time. In my own mind (and i bloody hate Poole!) im going for Holder as long as he doesnt start to tire like previous years as i think he is riding the best but i still wouldnt rule out Hampel. What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_minall Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Jason Crump. I think he'll do a Loram, keeping a low profile throughout the season, make lots of semis and finals, and then dominate near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiej95 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Got a feeling that Chris Holder really could nick the win, although I am still backing Crump and Sayfutdinov to be battling with him. It really is wide open this year, but my top 5 is: 1st: Holder 2nd: Crump 3rd: Sayfutdinov 4th: Pedersen 5th: Hancock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I said it's between Hampel and Hancock pre-season and I'm sticking with that. Think it cuold even go down to the semis or even the final of the last GP this year as nobody seems to want to dominate, even Nicki when he looked set to do so on Saturday had to throw it away. As for Crump, would love to see him do it again but he's just not go "it" any more, he still has the track craft and cna pull of the sneaky moves but he won't race through the gaps or put his body on the line any more, it'll cost him too much in the all important semis and finals. You get away with it in the heats as you only tend to get 1, maybe 2 top performers there he has to worry about but by semi time theres 3 or 4 of them willing to ride into him.

JCookie Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Think Chris Harris might do it people. This is his year, hopefully if not this year he can end strongly for a charge next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June01 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 even Nicki when he looked set to do so on Saturday had to throw it away. Surely, in this case, the definition of throwing it away would be to have been first or second and had an incident, not being out of the qualification places and trying his damnedest to get to the final?

Blazeaway Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I've got as much chance as Hampel. I would love to see Nicki do it, before the season started I thought he had an outside chance but now IMO he is favourite for the title. Main reason being he is comfortable with the team he has around him and seems to have that fire back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 start of the season i though Hampel, and even leading into the swedish GP I thought so, but he's just not looking as good as the last two years. At the moment I'd have to say Nicki Pedersen is looking the best rider in the world, so he'd be my pick, but there are still 6 riders with realistic chances. I'll go: 1 N Pedersen 2 C Holder 3 Crump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
