If Yamaha "Lorenzo" loses more ground to Honda here, the championship could turn into a rout barring injury. Might just be the defining moment for Yamaha's championship hopes

Good call. But in typical fashion, Rossi will probably do well, which will confound all calls of his competitiveness, alongside that of the Yamaha. Fuel for more speculation.
But then if he does badly, and JL does well....then the tale of how the factory Yamaha has been designed into a corner (a la the Ducati) will snowball.
Prediction: Based on last year's race.....a factory Honda will finsh just in front of a Sat Duke.

Time for Rossi to put his balls on the line. The championship is not going to be yours - so it is the time to go for one last shot at glory. Put the fear and conservatism to one side for a weekend, pretend like it is 2006 and chop Marc, Dani and Yourgay like they are Max and Sete incarnate. Laugh to yourself in your helmet like a maniac as you do it. I'm sure that's what you did back in the day.
As much as I have grown tired of Rossi over the years, I will happily bow down in front of my tv should the planets align and he wins in Italy in front of the yellow worshippers one more time.
It's a shame that Dani is going to spoil the party...

I am always surprised when I read things like this talking about Pedrosa's great form in the second half of last year. I don't think he displayed great form at all. He rode as he had always rode. He simply had an incredibly dominant Honda that had overcome it's handling problems. By Indianapolis last year, Stoner had won four races to Pedrosa's one, and his one win Stoner was up his arse and binned it. At Indy, where Pedrosa miraculously comes into his 'great form', Stoner had topped all practice sessions before his injury.
I am not denying that Pedrosa is a great rider. I just think that with the absence of his team mate and the Honda being so strong that he didn't have to find great form to win.

It's going to be interesting to see just how the FP1 times hold up for FP2 and FP3 before qualifying. If it's raining for the remainder of the day and into tomorrow for qualifying, there could be some big names battling to get out of QP1 no???
