Casey will go back to back! I have no doubt about that (unless his misses gets pregnant)!
I hope Nicky bounces back next year ... he deserves better than this year!
CV will have a good year!
Lorenzo will be the disappointment that he should be ...

Close ... Because he IS an arrogant, petulant nob!
I read an interview with Jorge in a magazine recently and i think that those who actually listened to what he had to say for himself and what he was all about would realize that he is far from arrogant. But of course its less fun to realize that hating people is unreasonable

His antics make him seem quite arrogant, however his demenour in communication, as Tom has just stated, purveys a completely different emotion, Its almost a quiet, calm, secluded confidence, which i like about him..
As much as people want to hang .... on him, you can't deny (despite his bikes/teams clear advantage) that he's more than getting the job done..
Cant wait till he's in amongst it for 2008

its very striong to call someone an "arrogant, petulant nob!" when you have never met then, but we say what we see. i think he needs to smile more.

Ok, yeah .... he rubs me up the wrong way! I give him the Aussie label ... "......"!
What's with the "Lorenzo Land" flags and sucking the chuppa chups on the podium?! ... it just appears to me that he is trying to upstage the Valentino antics but he delivers a piss poor imitation ... certainly nothing original and nothing to write home about!
He will probably be a 2 250 champion after this weekend and so, congrats to him!
I rate some of his competition this year, but the only seasoned one that matters is on far inferior machinery!
IMO, he will be found out next year!

But you only see what you see of him on the track, and Rossi could be given the same labels based on that. Obviously he has a persona built up by the press (as all the riders do) and Jorges is a relitively negative one because it creates a character that people want to see. Its nothing new, we've seen it before and we'll see it again.

His celebrations are just his expression, and the only difference between them and valentinos is that he has less fans.
Dovi may be on an iferior machine, but its nowhere near as inferior as the domination has suggested and the next Aprilia riders are further behind.
I think next season will be very interesting, but i expect good things from Jorge, rookie of the year minimum.

With all due respect Tom, I'm hoping that a certain Mr Toseland will have something to say about that... & hey, I'm not even English!

I do not expect too many surprises. A Stoner does not pop up every year... The rookies are brilliant next year, but not quite THAT brilliant.
It will be Rossi, Pedrosa and Stoner in whatever order luck and rubber will allow... But it could even be in that precise order.
Why? Because Rossi will have a better package and be more concentrated since the beginning, and because Honda will make a much better bike for Pedrosa.
Stoner and Ducati will still be excellent but the others will be at the same level next year and with Melandri in the team, there could be a lot of internal competition.
If I would have to name a dark horse for next year, I would say... Capirossi!
He will not lack motivation especially vs the Ducati riders and Suzuki is a nice bike. Or, Hopkins on the Kawa... The bike is a very good one, see what De Puniet does with it, wonder what Hopper will do.

It would kick ..., if Capirossi or Vermeulen take it. If I had to bet some money, it would be on Rossi.
I'd be happy with anyone winning it, as long as it is close and I don't have to make a voodoo doll with the #26 on it. I might as well start sharpening the needles.

All i know is Rossi will always have a battle on his hands with the Yamaha, its always been at a disadvantage but with Rossi they where able to breach that gap.
I'm not so sure now that gap is possible with the Ducati/Brigestone/Stoner combination and Rossi getting older and losing some motivation, also technology making everything quite similar apart from top speed.
But still there will be tracks the Yamaha's agility will come into play and we See Rossi/Stoner fight.
Rossi on Bridestone is not gonna make massive difference probably less problems leading to DNFs. More Consistantly at the front.

I support everyone one in the Moto GP class inparticually Casey Stoner, Nicky Hayden and James Toseland all of them except Rossi. I know you people going to say he is the best but I really dislike Rossi because he always moans about something when it isn't going his way. So yes everyone except Rossi but I wouldn't mind meeting Rossi in real life though as he can be so nice to his fans but I still wouldn't support or like him.
