for the Brit contingient

I am really happy to see Bradley doing so well so early. Given his riding style of consist tyre saving laps over the course of races, and a better 2008 package (e.g. An Aprillia). I think we are going to see some victories from him early and often.

However, I do want to see some good battles between Gadea, Talmacsi and Smith....

wheres bonsey & webb? guess they are'nt testin. seems theres a few teams absent.

Is it confidence...or just blind hope....if you figure it out let me know cause I'm still wondering!

Now that the field is cleared (Jorge, Dovi, and DeAng off to play elsewhere), I think it very well could be Bautista's year. Kallio's going to be his biggest competition. Luthi never seems to be consistent, and Barbera may be fast and capable of winning, he just pulls some crazy stuff (like his questionable cornering stunt at Sachsenring last year, although it made for an entertaining race). If Aoyama could get consistent he could also be a contender. I expect to see Espargaro to get better as the season goes on, he is quite young and shows great potential. Also watch for Faubel to get used to the 250 and perform well. Should be a great year for 250s.

125's? Well whats to say, Talmasci is sandbagging the class to pick up another championship. Go Bradley Smith, I hope he does well. The Honda he was on last year had nothing but bad things said about it and he seems quite happy to be on his new ride.
