<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mylexicon @ May 14 2008, 07:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>If Stoner and Rossi go 1,2 while Pedrobot and Lauren-zo bin it, I would say the championship is wide open.

Furthermore, Hayden isn't great in the rain on an 800 so if he puts up a goose egg, he could fall from what appears to be a guaranteed 5th place finish this season.

All of those things seem likely.

Think about it. If Stoner wins and Dani bins they are tied for points and Stoner would have the tiebreak.

That would put Stoner back in the thick of it.

I guess I misunderstood your point about "The Championship Being Turned on its Head."

Because you go on and make my point about the top 5 guys all being fairly close in the points.

This is a hard one to predict.
With these temperatures there is no advantage for b.stone here unless it rains.
The fight will be among the usual four.

1. Rossi
2. Stoner
3. Pedrosa
4. Lorenzo

With rain I would replace Lorenzo with Vermulen, probably a bit higher up too.

Dry:
1. Pedrosa
2. Lorenzo
3. Rossi

Wet:
1. Stoner
2. Rossi
3. Pedrosa

If it's dry it's a Michelin track ala Portugal or Jerez, if it's wet Stoner is 0.9 faster than anyone as we have seen at the wet Jerez test & wet Chinese Warm Up.

Happy to be proved wrong.

Time for Casey to jump start his championship defense today and get the win ahead of Pedrosa and Rossi.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (michaelm @ May 15 2008, 04:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I am going to confine myself to medical predictions from now on; I am much better at these than race results. It has been confirmed that lorenzo will race as I always thought he would. I think he will ride in pain but his pace will not be affected unless he crashes again and does further injury.
I may not know much about bike racing, but I do know something about medicine
