Official Tipping Thread 2008 Portugal MotoGP
As no one picked the top 3 in order for the last round the $300 prize and Fireblades T-shirt carry over to the Portugal Round. After an interesting race at Jerez we might see a bit of variety in the selections for this round. Good luck. For those of you who don't know how this works you need to pick your top 3 in order and be first in the thread to take the prize.

I almost went with Lorenzo.

However it looks like some combo of Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa seems to be a very popular choice, I'm glad I got in first with mine.

I don't like NASCAR.
Although when it's on two wheels, it gets exciting. But if Toseland starts pushing people off the track, I'm sure his carrier will soon end.

In two races he's bumped fairings twice already. If he sends anyone into the sand doing it, he won't be in MotoGP very much longer.

How about a 1, 2 finish for Honda, wouldn't that be nice, and since we're still in a spanish speaking country I'll give PED 1st place.

PEDROSA
HAYDEN
STONER

P.S. Can I get "COOP" on my shirt?
