Well who's going for Haga? Who's going for Spies?

What happens in the end from your guess/viewpoint?

Spies all the way.

I think Haga deserves a championship, but sorry, home-state hero FTW!

im on the haga vote, he's worked long and hard for this and in my mind deserves it. would already have it if it wasnt for that pidgeon. i think haga and biaggi are gonna rocket to the front on the start and the emperor may hold nori up for a bit but he'll eventually get around and start making time. meanwhile rea is gonna bin it somewhere and fab will doggedly attempt to get past spies and hold him up as he no longer has a title shot.

I'm also in the camp of Haga deserves it, and I just feel that in all sports, you must pay your dues first, meaning make it to the big dance only to end up "runner-up" and take a lesson from that experience to move forward.

You know like Michael Jordan finally getting past the Pistons for example.

Although I will be just as happy with Spies winning....

My concern is that Ben DOES leave the line first and Fabrizio forgets HIS line. Not like that's ever happened before...

somebody is going down, somebody is getting taken out, someone is gonna play it too safe, and someone is gonna be too agressive

That was my thought, Rea is fun to watch but he is like a pin ball out there.

We had this exact discussion on our local board, my take on the weekend:

I voted Haga.

I honestly don't know who I want to win but I'm not sure that Ben can pull off the double.

I hope Spies wins race 1. It will make Race 2 that much more exciting. I want to see a win it or bin it battle.

The last weekend sucked with a battle in 1 and a run away / no drama 2nd.

I can predict one fucking thing...my ass is going to be FIRMLY set on my couch!!! I for one think that Haga will squeak through to win the championship. He does have a 10 point advantage going in... Spies has had nothing but bad luck this year if you think about it, with the mechanicals, running out of gas, tire issues, being taken out, etc. I would be amazed if tomorrow's race's went off with out a hitch for him and he won both.

I think that Spies will win the first race, followed by Rea and then Haga-after Fabio lets him by, reducing the points difference to 1 pt!!!! Unfortunately, something will happen to Spies in the second race handing the championship to Haga.

Haga is in a second place is not good enough position because of Spies' wins but I don't think that he has the pace this weekend to take Spies mano y mano and will need something bad to happen to him...:idk:

Of course... I think you covered every aspect of it here, now WHO will do each of them?

I like Haga.
Spies reminds me of someone I don't like.

I am hoping for Spies, but would not be disappointed if Nori won.
they both fought hard all season for this.

There was alot of What Ifs this season.
