Last time I checked, Suzuka still was HONDA property and the only place where the Clown hasn't won a race so I'll go with the precedents.

1st Pedrosa
2nd Hayden
3rd Melandri

I only say it because his history isn't real strong there and I don't think he enjoys the track very much.

You'd be insane to discount a Japanese Honda or Kawasaki rider, i.e Nakano and Tamada. I think just the fact that Dani and Nicky will have very few setup adjustments to make, as I'd like to hope Honda have the setup for their own track right, will help them out immensely.

Haven`t got the T shirt, I`ll try the Vodafone thing, run across the track Naked with motogpfourm.com written on my Arse. Be the scariest thing a lot of people have seen in a long time

Just gotta watch out for the bikes, I mean 150kg of carbon fibre RCV travelling at 250kmph has approximately 10500 kgm/s of momentum, which, colliding with a stationary (and very naked) body for, say 0.1 seconds produces a force of about ten metric tons, which would probably hurt... a lot...

Anyway, I think IR is spot on, there`s always a Japanese rider on the podium at Motegi, which rider it will be is the question. Nakano`s looking good, plus the track is in Bridgestone territory, so I`ll say him, but don`t think he`s got the win in him (Though I`d love to see it!). Capirossi`s going to be strong here, and it`s not a good track for Yamaha, and Rossi is no fan of the twin ring circuit, but he`s Rossi, and He`s on a mission, so I think it will end up somthing like this:

1) Capirossi
2) Nakano
3) Rossi

It`d be the best result Bridgestone`s had in a while
