One factor is of Italian origin and hears the name Simoncelli. The highest of this year's riders is the big surprise so far. With amazing times and a good motorcycle that even though satellite looks much better than many, it gives a lot of hope to its own future. On the one hand, it is irresistible on the brakes, and on the other hand it brings a lot. It means that although with last year's motorcycle it has achieved a superior set-up by its mechanical staff. So it seems he will continue to deserve the role of his friend's friend Valentino Red as he has taken many lessons from him both inside and outside the track (see play with TV cameras and outdoor appearance) as long as he is able to stay upright.
Another factor is of Japanese origin and hears the name Honda. The RCV, its factory motorcycle Repsol Honda this is the top-of-the-line motorcycle according to telemetry. The results of course are not yet what they would like but as it seems they will not be Stoner will have a relatively healthy one next to it Pedrosa. The Stoner who in her previous fight Jerez he failed to score after being kicked in Red, he would have liked to be the first in Estoril to return with the best, while Dani Pedrosa starting from the fourth place has a lot to give to the thousands of Portuguese fan but it is hard to welcome the check flag first.
Another factor is of Italian origin and he listens to the binomial Valentino- Ducati. It's been a long time that we have a treat of the Italian phenomenon since they did it when it won races. In Jerez of Spain we enjoyed a bit Valentino from the old without being able to complete. He fought a lot and we were delighted, but something tells me that tomorrow we will enjoy scenes of immense beauty with the Italian sweating for a podium place.
The most important factor, however, remains as the weather, as all the predictions we made above are under normal circumstances. Today a cloud rides all day long over the track threatening with its presence, a wet race. What we will see in the rain is definitely the one Yamaha of Lorenzo to have the most hopes since his wet tires were the least worn in the previous case of wet Jerez, when all our other motorbikes were wearing their linen, something that made her feel so bad Bridgestone. But it makes sense as the current champion's style is absolutely linear and hence silky.
Conversely on a dry track it does not have this chance as the above mentioned "factors" are probably ready to beat him up with more likely listening to national anthems to have the AustralianStoner) or the Italian one (Red - Simoncelli).
YN: 2010, no one expected, the day of the official timing test in Estoril to host a few hundred spectators and to be numb. Of course not by the cold, but by the impending IMF involvement in their country's daily routine.
