I've got a feeling 'zuki are gonna give the big boys a run for their money this year...
Rossi's old. He's grumpy. And he's spouting excuses like a texan loser...
Bye, bye, Vale baby wink

Good to see de puniet's doing well.
However, I must follow my heart, moneys on Stoner (again - made a nice few grand of a 20-1 season bet on him last year)

Rossi? i hope all his whinging about the Bridgestones comes round to bite him on the arse...

I'm putting my money on Stoner for a 2nd title, with Capirossi as the surprise rider of the year.

I would absolutely love Stoner to do it again but I think Pedrosa on the new RC212V is just going to be amazingly quick everywhere.

Wish they'd 'do away' with all the traction control though. I think it would make better racing lick It'd certainly seperate the men from the boys also!!

Interesting that Edwards is closer to Vale than he ever was in the same team and JT's only 0.7 down on Vale at a new circuit to him. At this flood ridden time, huge mountains of sandbags come to mind!

Lorenzo's gotta be worth a punt though hasn't he? Betfair would be the place to go guys.

I reckon Honda will be 'ready' for 2008. They were so embarassed/totally blown away last year and I can't see them making the mistake of building a bike for the 'boy' which wont suit any other rider (if Pedro's injured)!

I also think Ducati could have had a number of developments tucked away for this year, but didn't need to dip into the bank at all to seal the title!

Not sure I'll put my mortgage on anything, but I will be watching every round yes

Ooohh, now there's a challenge. Well, as you have "inside info" and I don't, how about giving me 2-1 on Rossi finishing above Hayden?!

Depends if you believe testing times are going to be representative of a season or not smile

I don't. Can't see everyone giving it the beans for all and sundry to see how they're getting on.

Well, yeah - testing is just that, testing, and it may well not be indicative of the season to come.

But i'd rather see JT 1.3 secs down as opposed to 3 or 4 adrift and struggling to adapt...smile
