Moto GP San Marino Grand Prix Favourites
Casey Stoner will be within touching distance of the title by this point of the season if everything else has gone as he planned. This makes him one of the strong Moto GP San Marino Grand Prix favourites.
Stoner has been in a strong position for much of the season and he will not want to give up his lead just yet. San Marino looks like a course that favours how Stoner drives his bike and he'll be right in the running if he can put in a good qualifying time.
Jorge Lorenzo is also a rider who will like racing on the San Marino track. Lorenzo has nailed most of his bike setups this season but has been slightly off the pace as Stoner has had the better machine. Lorenzo will win this race if he's leading from pole.
The San Marino Track
The San Marino track is not favoured towards straights or corners but a healthy balance of both. There will be reward in the San Marino track for any rider who likes to get a few seconds out of the straight roads or likes to duck into the corners for a bit of risky overtaking.
The longest straight on the San Marino track is just over 300 yards which goes to show how packed in the track is. This will work in favour of some riders and it also adds to the atmosphere of this race as the crowds are right on top of the action.
San Marino Racing Strategy
San Marino racing strategy for the drivers is going to be very simple. There is no point trying to thrash it through the first sector because this is where most of the mistakes are going to be made. The middle and end parts of the track provide assistance for anyone looking to hit the throttle hard.
Moto GP Drivers and Constructors Standings
By this race stage in the Moto GP calendar, the betting markets for the Moto GP drivers and constructors standings will not offer much value. There will be one or two individuals heavily ahead of everyone else with little chance of an upset.
The constructor's standings may offer a little more value because the gap between teams may not be so big. The Moto GP drivers and constructors standings are designed to reward the most consistent drivers over a longer period of time. One or two wins at the back end of the season can put a constructor into a completely different position.
