Great question.
I think that the Ducati have significantly raised the bar again with the GP09, and that Stoner is ecstatic with the feel of the new CF chassis. Vale will rise to the challenge, and it will be very close- hopefully going down to Valencia again, but I see Ducati prevailing this year.
Meanwhile Haga looks very comfortable on that <strike>1098</strike> big bore 1200 thingy. He's completely adjusted his riding style to harness the mid corner speed and torque of the big twin, and for the first time in his career looks smooth and flowing. He also salvaged two good results at Qatar, a track which hasn't been kind to Ducati in the past. He's lost his favorite circuit in Brands, but is .... hot at Monza, Kyalami, Assen, and Brno. This won't trouble Spies in the slightest, who I believe is more talented, composed and consistent, and the new R1 is a revelation - Yamaha to win.

I doubt this will happen although Yamaha and Ducati both have a good shot for it. I just have feeling that while Stoner will propably win Moto GP title this year, Spies at the moment seems slightly more likely to win WSBK title than Haga.
Well, it could happen, but yeah...

About as rediculous it would sound at that time to suggest that the Flaminis should take over MotoGP to get it in the right direction. Was it you Jumkie? I'm not saying you are all wrong, just that a few years ago you would be considered COMPLETLY insane.

Good poll - I went ducati, although I think Spies is in with a real shot at the WSBK title, and it's not like Rossi (and to a lesser extent, Chuppa Chup), have a real chance at the motoGP crown.
PS - I believe if Haga doesn't win this year he's not going to win ever.

Um... that was me. Although I'm sure just about anyone with half a brain thinks the same way.

Well at least the Flamini's are recognizable! Who the hell is in Dorna anyway? Ezpaleta, a couple of satalite team bosses and of course Honda. Oh Yeah and Rossi.
