I would say this is the last track of the season that should favour the Yamaha (Sepang is probably gonna be about evens IMO) so JL needs to take another win as there will be few more chances to beat Honda's left.. Expecting another JL MM fight if Lorenzo gets away he is set, if they end up in another last lap battle Marquez will have him this time.
Probably Rossi's last chance for a podium this year as well all being equal, hopefully he can churn out some good pace here.
Lorenzo needs to keep his momentum, especially as Aragon is likely to be rough for him, especially compared to this track. I wouldn't bet any money against Rossi either, he will be as motivated as ever this weekend. Having said that Marquez is like a T1000 in an orange suit and Pedrosa has been blindingly fast here before. Could be anyone's, will definitely be entertaining and significant.
Oh snap, Yamaha Debuting the new transmission. In for epic mechanical failures in the Yamaha camp! It'll be like Ben Spies 2012 Season but all in the course of a single weekend!
Pedrosa > Marquez > Bautista > Smith
Both factory Yamahas to be seen randomly slowing down in neutral with the riders looking frantically at the gearbox and clutch lever.
