This is bound to be a boring race. What I really don't understand though is why Bautista and Bradl are so far off the pace this season. Don't they both have full factory Hondas? Why are they constantly running with the Ducatis? Bradley Smith needs to seriously needs to prove all his doubters wrong soon. This will likely be a walk away for Pedrosa. Maybe if it rains Rossi can win a race.
One of the bigger surprises for me this year has been Bradl. I really expected him to be fighting for 4th/ odd podium race in and race out. Hasn't turned out that way at all so far.

On the subject of Bradl, having him in my MCN fantasy league has been somewhat disappointing. I didn't trade him in, he will come good at some point.

Smith is pretty much exactly where Crutchlow was in 2010. Remember all the ....-talking about him having been a waste of a ride?
Bradl finished 8th last year - on a factory Honda. Smith is equal points with Spies.
But I guess that by now he should have won a race - after all, he has had 3 races under his belt...

agreed. Bradl has been disappointing, but i really don't think honda would risk putting him on a complete factory ride on the off chance he beats the repsol riders. He has "factory support"...probably quite different

Bradl performing below par makes Marquez look even better. Marquez looking great is Honda's primary goal. You can guarantee that Bradl's "Factory" Honda is pure Satellite.

Actually we as couch racers should fear none of them....come on man, we all should pull for the Ducati riders, it's truly sad rain is the only thing that can improve their finish.
The weather as of now is showing 60% chance of rain on Saturday, but only 20% for the race.

be nice to see him come through practice/qualifying unscathed, and maybe make the front row.

you spamming mario?
consider this a shoulder punch.
prediction: marquez for the win and cliché for a mental breakdown.
nah, if theres a honda in 1st place its dani. if not, jorge.
good points concerning honda factory support.
but anybody whos been watching since at least 2007 knows that being promised factory support isn't everything.ask melandri.
I'll lean a little out of the window and go ahead and say that a gresini rider with loads of media coverage probably got better factory support than the lcr team.
so bradl in any case still has a few races to go to podium the damn thing
