OK, we had some small success with the last weeks GP thread...Let's see if it keeps going...
What a weird week...MCN is trying to confirm the rumors that Rossi has a done deal with Ducati, Spies will take his Yami, and Stoner is headed to Honda...It's all specualation, but I think we all know there's a little truth to every rumor, right? :D
So, here we go..
--Rossi..Still out :(
--Zo..Clearly the one to beat right now
--Ben..Going forward the last few races
--Nicky..Going backwards the last few races
--Pedro..Still strong, but still inconsistent
--Dovi..Looking good on the Honda lateley
--Stoner..Got his 1st podium of 2010 last week..Will he continue the trend?
Your thoughts?

Lorenzo was on pole last year, finished 2nd to Rossi. his Home GP, Give it to him.
2nd and 3rd are a toss up with Pedro, who owns fast lap honors, and Stoner who has 4 consecutivepodiums there.

Who relies on Speed for MotoGP coverage when you get a high res season pass to MotoGP.com for like $120?! And listen to expert commentary before, during and after the race rather than those fucktards on Speed?
In any event...here's my prediction.
1) Lorenzo...home track...most dialed in bike...great confidence...barring him getting taken off by someone at the start I think he runs away with this one.
2) Pedrosa...home track...HIGHLY motivated to not be upstaged in Spain by Lorenzo.
3) Hayden...on the cusp of a podium all season long...he's coming to terms with the Duc and it's time to put in on the podium.

It's only 3 am in the Far East races...Malaysia...Japan...Australia...the races in Europe are usually on at 6a or 7a local time. I'm up every day at 5 to work out anyway so it works out well.

Guys, guys, guys...Your missing the big picture here. The most exciting race of the weekend will be between Kousuke Akiyoshi on a 3 year old Interwitten Honda Vs a factory test rider Wataru Yoshikawa on a works Yamaha, Burgess Tuned M1! This is a serious all japan, back row rumble!!

Definately not. He's on a suter isint he? I keep hoping the bimota does better so we might see an hb4 for the streets

Yup, Suter. A street version would be awesome, although it would be unlike Bimota to move away from twins wouldnt it?

Hardly, bimota builds around whatever awesome engine they can lay their hands on. There were quite a few jap four powered models in the past. You know how the naming works right? Enigine manufacturer, bimota, number of bikes in that manufacturers series. So a db7 is the seventh model released with a ducati powerplant. I think that one OTB recently had up for sale features a suzuki gsxr 1100 plant

De Puniet has got some pace again this week-end...DAMN....he is killing it. Lorenzo just knocked off 2 tenths to retake provisional pole....8 minutes to go in qualifying! Hayden has got nothing. :/ He's still a second off the pace.
Casey Moaner is such a whiny little cunt....jesus christ I HATE watching that guy race...whine..bitch...shake his head every time someone is on the track anywhere near him....he's Mariah Carey without tits.
Just wrapped up the QP session:
1) Lorenzo
2) Stoner
3) DePuniet
4) Pedrosa
5) Spies
6) Dovi
7) Capirossi
8) Espargaro
9) Simoncelli
10) Bautista

Lorenzo and Dovi duking it out 4 laps in....Stoner ran wide at turn 1 and dropped back to 5th or it would have been a 3 way fight up front.
DuPuniet is running a hard rear tired....everyone else chose a soft rear tire....look out for him later in the race as the front runners tires go off and his are still good to go!
Stoner's bike is running HD on board cameras....OMFG it looks INCREDIBLE!!!
Lorenzo and Dovi have escaped at the front......2 bike race at this point. :/
Dovi just stacked it....Lorenzo is alone at the front. The race is for second now....Pedro-bot versus Stoner.
Wow...a race with such promise initially turned into another MotoGP bore :/
1) Lorenzo
2) Pedro-bot
3) Stoner
4) DuPuniet
5) Bautista
6) Spies
Wow...rumor is that Melandri will wind up with BMW WSB next season. :O

Dovi fought as hard as he could, but couldn't keep the rubber side down :(
Final results...
