Guys I think it would take a brave man to call this one. It's as open as it could ever be. Casey and Dani are kind of unknown quantities even now. You know they're gonna be up around the front but who can say if either of them can hold on to the lead if any of the regulars pressure them. I still don't think Nicky will win this one but who'd bet against him getting on the podium? Then you've got Rossi, Loris, Colin and Sete. If Yamaha get that M1 working like they want it then you've got to fancy Vale. If Bridgestone sort their race tyre then I bet you're going to see the Ducatis in the mix. Marco has got to be on fire after Turkey and he's one guy that will fly on confidence. If it rains then that blows us all out of the water, Suzuki will be praying for a downpour. I'm in a spin about the whole thing, it's friggin great!

Dry:

Rossi
Hayden
Melandri (I would say Stoner, but I`m too stubborn

)

Wet:

Nakano
Gibernau
Hopkins (maybe- 45 minutes is a long time for a GSV motor

)

Snow:

Cardoso (He must have those chain things on his tyres to go that slow)
Ellison (They got snow in england, don`t they?)
Tamada (Why not?)

Fog:

Caparossi (He goes so fast he usually cant see the track anyway)
Rossi (Burgess will put lights on his M1)
Edwards (He`ll get the spare set of lights)

Hurracane:

KR JR (Ｈｉｓ bikes so heavy it`ll stay on the ground)
Carlos Checa (Dunlops are so slow because they`re hurracine proof)
Nakano (Because he was　brought up in typhoon country)

Forecast is saying dry for sunday though mate.

Its guna be exciting stuff if its soaking still 2moro, and dry sunday!!

The best would be if it rained 2moro AND in sundays 20mins warm up, that would be a real gamble for 'em!!!!!!!!!!
