MUMBAI:
Valentino Rossi believes this weekend's Catalan Grand Prix will
see a three-way fight for victory between himself, Dani Pedrosa
and Casey Stoner, with all the action to be shown live on Ten Sports.
The
three men currently occupy the top three places in the world championship
and 28-year-old Italian does not think anybody will be able to match
their pace at the Barcelona circuit. Rossi slashed Ducati rider
Stoner's championship lead from 21 points to just nine with a fine
win in front of his home crowd at the Italian Grand Prix last week,
although Pedrosa matched his pace for all but the final five laps
of the race.
And
with Barcelona sharing many of the same characteristics as Mugello,
Rossi is predicting that the form book will show a similar result,
especially as recent developments from tyre supplier Michelin now
look to have put Yamaha on a par with Ducati on race pace.
Rossi's
Mugello victory made him the first rider in Moto GP's 58-year history
to win any one race on six separate occasions, but he could repeat
that feat at Barcelona - a track where he took his first top-class
podium finish and where he has only been beaten once since 2001.
The
Moto GP race is one of the three that will be broadcast live on
the channel with uninterrupted coverage of the 125cc and 250 cc
races as well.
Ten
Sports broadcasts exclusive coverage of some of the worlds
best motorsport including Champ Car, GP 2 and its coverage
of top bike races worldwide.
