Yay, it's finally here.
Stoner's to lose again. Hopefully Lorenzo will put up more of a fight this season. I think Spies could run Lorenzo close though.
Crutchlow seems to be the best of the rest at the moment which is pleasing. Would love to see him on one of the factory bikes in the future.
As much as it pains me, it could well be Rossi's last season if Ducati don't pull their act together. They've given him so much but he just can't put in the lap times. Maybe he's passed his best. I think he'll struggle to finish ahead of Hayden.
Anyway, a good weekend of racing. BSB starts on Monday too.

What's the grid size this year, they only had 12 or so entries last year, which made for pretty poor viewing (plus Stoner won, the guy is an arse)

True, but there are a number of CRT bikes that pad that number out. Just hoping that Ducati have a competitive bike, and that the satellite teams have the equipment to compete with full factory teams. Hoping that Cal has a good season, as if he gets beaten regularly by Dovi his seat will be gone for next season (what with Bradley already guaranteed a seat at Tech3 next season). For me, after the sad end to last season I just hope for a safe season for all the riders, and one that is competitive all the way through. |

I know the CRT bikes aren't going to be that competitive, but at least there should be competition all throughout the field.
Hopefully the CRT bikes will at least get the likes of Suzuki, Kawasaki and Aprillia into thinking about entering full factory teams.

Seriously, Fuck off then :-) Cant wait for the race. No surprise stoner was top after FP1. Hopefully Crutchlow will put up a good fight this season. Rooting for him. As it stands it looks likes Stoner is the early favourite. But hopefully the likes of Lorenzo, Pedrosa and even Spies wont make it easy for him. Doesn't looks like Rossi has managed to get his Ducati sorted yet, but i'm still hoping he'll at least get a couple of podiums. Keep an eye of for Stefan Bradl, definitely the rookie to watch. It is good to see a much larger field this season as already mentioned Gonna be strange not having Simmo on the starting grid. |

Yeah, heard that. The Yamaha's look quick, the thing is Stoner has always had race pace.
Tomorrow will definitely be interesting.
