Dovi will be good, but this year still Pedrosa will be the title contender from the Puig Garage.
The dark horses: Hayden and Gibernau in my opinion. Kallio was surprisingly good on the tests with the Duke and he is a brave rookie so I expect some flashes from him also.

Well that's no fun! How can we laugh at our own misguided predictions then?
I'm going with either Toesland or Collie. I think the satellite Yamahas are going to be quick!

Thats a bit harsh on Loris ??
They are SUCKzuki afterall.....so I think 80:1 for Chris is heavily optimistic.

What odds was casey stoner before the 2007 season?
I always think very short odds in a bike racing championship for anyone no matter how great are not realistic given the ever present risk of injury, particularly when this can be caused by the mistakes of others outside any given rider's control. Vale has never had an accident with prolonged serious consequences, his great skills no doubt being a significant factor, but even he has had accidents which could have led to such consequences.

Hayden will be awesome this season. He's on a bike that will suit him better than the Honda. Following the British i would love to see Toseland win it, But u can never write off Valentino.

Yea i really hope he aint just a one season wonder. I have followed him all thw way through AMA and it would be good to see Hayden win 1 more title in moto gp then move across to World Superbikes on the factory Honda.
