The wait is over, the new season is here...Lot's of story lines going into race 1...
--Is Rossi sandbagging, or is he really hurting? And is the Duc just not rideable?
--Will Lorenzo be as great as he was last year?
--Is Stoner as good, and as fast as pre-season testing?
--Pedrosa - see Stoner
--Spies - can he attain alien status?
--Hayden - even with Val and Jer in his corner, I don't see him in the top 5
--Simoncelli, Dovizioso, Edwards, Bautista, DePuniet, and the rest are just ancillary characters in a play about aliens
So, let's race!
