Sachsenring - Target tiga kali kemenangan beruntun dipasang Casey Stoner jelang tampil di Sachsenring, sirkuit yang bukan menjadi salah satu favoritnya.

Di Inggris Raya dan Belanda, rider andalan Ducati Marlboro itu mencatat sukses besar. Di dua seri itu ia mampu finis sebagai yang terbaik, mengungguli rivalnya Valentino Rossi dan Dani Pedrosa.

Capaian itulah yang ingin diulang Stoner di Sachsenring akhir pekan nanti, walaupun dibayangi pengalaman yang tidak mengenakkan musim lalu, yaitu finis kelima meski dirinya adalah pole sitter.

"Kami cukup yakin untuk Sachsenring, di mana kami cukup kompetitif tahun lalu. Masalahnya saat itu hanya pada ban yang menghalangi kami bersaing untuk juara, dan saya yakin masalah itu tak lagi terulang di musim ini," ujar Stoner optimis, seperti diberitakan Autosport.

Keyakinan Stoner juga didasari oleh performa motor yang sedang dalam tren positif, merujuk pada hasil dari beberapa balapan terakhir. Akan tetapi ada beberapa poin yang juga bisa menjadi faktor penghalang Stoner meraih hattrick kemenangan.

"Trek ini sedikit berbeda dengan yang lainnya karena memiliki tikungan yang cukup lebar, yang mana saya tidak begitu menyukainya," ungkap pembalap Australia itu.

Apapun itu, harusnya hal ini tidak menghalangi penghuni peringkat tiga klasemen pembalap dengan 142 angka itu untuk bisa kembali menang, ya kan?

Stoner expecting to battle for victory in Sachsenring (motogp.com)
Chasing a third consecutive victory in 2008, Casey Stoner has confidence in what he and the Ducati Desmosedici GP8 can do at Sachsenring this weekend.
Preparing for his second MotoGP race at the Sachsenring circuit when the World Championship arrives in Germany, Casey Stoner is the man of the moment in the premier class. The current title holder was equally as dominant in practice at last year´s race as he has been over the past two Grands Prix in Donington and Assen, but this season he is looking to also end his weekend on the top step of the podium.

`We feel quite confident for Sachsenring, where we were already competitive last year and it was only an issue with tyre life that prevented us from fighting for victory,´ says the Ducati Marlboro rider, whose 2007 teammate Loris Capirossi gave Bridgestone their first podium at the track. With these facts and his current purple patch in mind, Stoner is relishing the chance to take his own first Sachsenring victory.

`I´m sure this (tyre) problem won't happen again this year because Bridgestone have not stopped working and they continually bring us great new material. The bike has been perfect for the last two races and I expect it to go well at Sachsenring too,´ proclaims the Australian.

`The track is a little different to most of the others because there are such long corners, which I don´t like too much, but there are also some fun points and I´m happy to go racing there. It´s been nice to have a few days´ rest after such a demanding month - a weekend off isn´t exactly a holiday but it´s just enough to get your breath back and prepare for the next races.´

Stoner has only once raced a MotoGP machine at the Sachsenring circuit, having suffered a concussion in the warmup that put him out of the 2006 race. His previous best placing in the lower cylinder categories was a second place in the 250cc class.

Valentino Rossi 'The Doctor'

Valentino Rossi 'The Doctor' Valentino Rossi was born in Urbino, Marche, and grew up surrounded by racing. Son of Graziano Rossi, a former motorcycle racer, he first jumped on a bike at the age of two, and his astounding career progressed in leaps and bounds. In 2003 MotoGP Rossi claimed 9 pole positions as well as 9 GP wins to win his third consecutive World Championship. The Australian GP at Phillip Island in 2003 is considered to be one of Rossi's greatest career moments due to the unique circumstances in which he claimed victory. After being given a 10-second penalty for overtaking during a yellow flag due to a crash by Ducati rider Troy Bayliss, 1st-place Rossi proceeded to pull away from the rest of the field, eventually finishing more than 15 seconds ahead; more than enough to cancel out the penalty and win the race.
