Final thoughts: I hope we have close racing (at least as good as WSBK) and that nobody get seriously injured (yes, even .... bird Padrosa). I hope equipment failures and scud-missile-riders don’t decide any outcomes. I hope Hayden wins the title. Bring it on![/quote]
 
Final thoughts: I think West is out of his depth, i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't ride the entire season.

lol - They are digging up the predictions thread from the beginning of the year to see who got it right and who didn't.

I'm shocked you didn't get flak for Malandri being the biggest let down. Can I take you to Las Vegas?
 
I'm actualy surprised about hwo close some people got with their predictions... I guess 08 didn't have that many surprises in the end.
