[Ducati] Imagine Capirossi winning next 2 (wasEstoriltracklocation)

[Steve Abramson]

I guess I should have said that it is easy to root for Nicky because in 
addition to being our top US hopeful, he really seems to be a heckuva good 
guy, and it's easy to hope that he does well. However, if KR Jr was in his 
place, I'd still probably root for him, but not with the enthusiasm that I 
have for Nicky. Having said that,  Loris winning wouldn't be the worst thing 
in the world. I am going to stick my neck out to say that I think that, 
amazingly, Rossi is going to win again. Nicky was still struggling with 
clutch troubleas of the last race, and I wonder if a little of the wind in 
his sail has been taken away over the last few races. Rossi seems to have 
more momentum at this time, Cap is smoking, and if Roboto gathers himself 
back up these last two races, a lot of points could be snatched away from 
Kentucky. Sure makes for exciting sh*t, though.
