not stealing a signal off some poor sucker anymore dan-it? LMAO

Caparossi will be unbeatable at sepang just like brno, also at motegi. If I was a betting man I'd put money on capa winning the championship.

Come on Rossi, keep this championship interesting!

He`s got a lot of ground to make up on the points table though, and he`s running out of chances to close the gap. I agree he`s gonna have a spectacular end to the season but I think he`s a bit too far behind to walk away on top.

1) Pedrosa
2) Rossi
3) Melandri

Agreed, I`d love to see him do it, I`m just saying the numbers are stacking up against him.

But if it rains? Hopefully will not be the case...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>SEPANG: The possibility of a wet weekend is set to add another twist to team strategies when the big boys of the motorcycling world get ready for the battle in the Marlboro Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix at the Sepang F1 Circuit this weekend.

Overcast dark skies hung over the track over the last three days and the weatherman is not discounting the possibility of the races being run in the wet although it did not rain during the last two years.

The fickle nature of the Malaysian weather is making the upcoming proceedings harder to predict.

Seeing as the track is a Capo fave, I'm going for-

1. Capirossi
2. Hayden
3. Melandri

Just to be controversial & leave out The Doctor.

Don't all laugh

1. KRJR
2. Cap
3. Ros

Well you never know

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Capirossi: Mission impossible

Loris Capirossi, winner last time out in Brno and favourite to repeat his 2005 Sepang triumph this weekend, says victory in Malaysia is far from certain - and thinks the 2006 MotoGP title is 'impossible'.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Rossi: Podium, points - stay in the fight.

Valentino Rossi is predicting a repeat of last year's battle with fellow Italian Loris Capirossi this weekend in Malaysia, as Yamaha fights flat out to keep the reigning world champion in the 2006 title hunt.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Hayden: We've got to bounce back.

MotoGP World Championship leader Nicky Hayden is aiming to put his worst finish of the season, last time out at Brno, firmly behind him as he starts the final five races that will decide the title destination.

Despite fading to ninth in the Czech Republic, Hayden still holds a 25-point lead over Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa thanks to an otherwise consistent 2006 campaign which has seen him take two victories and nine podium finishes from the twelve rounds so far held.

hmm A clear favourite...all it takes is a DNF and it's wide open(i'm not wishing anyone to crash).
I wish for apodium like this but it's a long shoot: Capirossi/Rossi/Pedrosa

I think here the tyres will be a decisive factor... Bridgestone worked very well last year ...but can they keep up this year...

I can't wait for the week-end!!1

Hmm, that seems a very un-Capo thing to say, I mean, he never stops believing in the championship. What's changed? =(

Maybe he likes to be the underdog, not to be in the spotlights. He said like Rossi did that he will take it one race at the time and have fun.

Yeah I guess. Just as long as he has fun. He'll still be the champ in my eyes though, I mean, without the Catalunya crash...who knows?!

100% agree...In my eyes he's the champ too...
