Biggest surprise so far this season?
Discussion
I know it's early but I don't care! 
Much as I hate Lorenzo as I think he's a cocky little
, I have to admit it's great to see just how good he's doing with the big boys & I like to see the guy doing what he's currently doing which is just blowing all the "names" into the weeds (at least in qualifying) purely from the standpoint of this being his rookie season. I can't believe I'm genuinely happy for the guy! I feel so dirty now.
In all honesty, JT is roughly where I thought he would be; quite happily into the top ten with the possibility of a podium or 2 if he gets lucky. The 2nd place qualifying was an awesome start.
Also good to see Nicky at the right end of the grid too after last season. As has been mentioned, the guy never had a bad word to say about his team, the bike, his 'teamate' or anything, it was always just 'I'm still here, still trying' all with a permanent grin on his face.
Same goes for Edwards for that matter, little bit so-so last year but now.....crack on!
And on the downside of all that, Mr Melandri. What's happened to him? I know his style doesn't really suit the Duc (according to Eurosport), but surely not to the tune of TWO or THREE seconds? Only plus for him I guess is Stoner doesn't appear quite so dominant this year so at least it's not ALL his fault.
So with a couple of GP's out of the way, how do you reckon it's going to finish this year? Any more surprises to come do you think?

Lorenzo great talent full on dick,
Stoner talented but his style is too full on put him on any other bike he would crash every race at this level, the only thing that tames him is the duke, the other duke riders are to clean to be quick on that bike (think that duke is abit crap really only person on paddock who could maybe ride it would be de angelis because he rides similar too stoner.
Toseland great guy top 3 this weekend i think, edwards great guy seems to do so well fri,sat then sunday lets everone down a bit,
Hayden great guy like you said, never moans, true gentleman and just gets on with it,
Hate pedrosa hope he falls off tommorow, stroppy little spanish st,
Also i think de puniet deserves a factory ride on a good bike, he would be at the front (the guy crashes alot but you can learn not to crash, cant learn to be quick, great qualifier though, reckon he could be a front 4 runner on a yamaha or factory honda.
