I'm hoping for a Rossi win!

Hoping Cal can pull the Rabbit out of the hat.

But hoping for the year of the Goat, as usual.

I think that's a given, but, its not over till the fat lady sings.

im really hoping sam lowes can start to string a few decent results together. Hes obviously got the speed to be up there but his riding last year just looked too desperate.

In the big class i cant see it going anyway other than mr marquez again. I hope the ducatis can carry forward to full race distance speed after some good testing results.
Im also intrested to watching how reading gets on this year.

It should be a good race and i always like watching the night ones.

How's Redding been going on the Honda?

[obscene]

Marc
Jorge
Vale

Hoping Rossi takes it though

[loose cannon]

Marc with Lorenzo and rossi having a battle
But what about dani you never no with him, maybe he will be the one , I never discount the lad
Could there be somebody else to upset the top ianone has the hunger what about dovi ?
How will suzuki get on ? reading can he push merrily and make headway I hope so
moto 3 will be fireworks, and come on lows put it up the rest of um
I'm really looking forward to it

It will be interesting to see if he even survives the first corner

[sprinter1050]

Only if he's daft/lucky enough to somehow get to the front & try mixing it with the big boys..

I suspect he'll be a (good) bit further back down the grid to do that but then you wouldn't rule out him trying a barging move past somebody to do just what you suggest.

Either way, you could well be right.

[Tim85]

He's not been doing badly in testing though has he. Yes not been lighting the timing sheets on fire but he's on he's been faster than a handfull of talented riders
Maybe if he shaved the mullet he'd drop a few tenths

[macdeb]

Can't wait

[y2blade]

It has been a long winter.

Can't wait to get some proper racing on the box, show the F1 lot how it is done.

[RemaL]

Just hope it's a good race weekend and will show us what we may expect this year

[WaferThinHam]

Ross will be up there, as will Lorenzo, Marc, and Pedrobot. The question is who will chuck it up the road? I'm going for Lorenzo, Iannone, Miller and PEsp on the floor.

Redding/Crutchlow will be interesting.

Sponsorships worries for Aspar and LCR...

Will be interesting to see what liveries their run in Friday practice

Laverty doesn't have much lucky with energy drink sponsors does he?
