After a two week scheduled break and a further forced stop due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland, the 2010 World Championship will finally see it’s second round for the Gran Premio bwin de España at the famed Jerez de la Frontera race track.
MotoGP followers are ready for the first European round with an almost sold out event, which is considered one of the best venues for racing fans who want to have fun and while waiting to see some top class racing and bet on who’ll be this year’s winners.
The Jerez circuit is Valentino Rossi land.
The Doctor has already won eight times on this Spanish circuit (1997 in 125; 1999 in 250; 2001 and 2002 in the 500 cc class; 2003, 2oo5, 2006 and 2009 in MotoGP) while his main rivals, Jorge Lorenzo has won only twice in the 250cc class and Dani Pedrosa has won once in the 250cc class and once in 2008 in MotoGP, while Casey Stoner has never won at Jerez.
Will Stoner change his race tatics, can Dani Pedrosa improve on the performance of his RC212V with a stiffer chassis, will Valentino Rossi be fit enough and keep up the power of his Yamaha M1 and not run out of gas, will Jorge Lorenzo take the pole position again?Can Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden or maybe Ben Spies oust at least one of the “aliens” from an almost sure podium? We can’t wait till Sunday to find out.
