I'd love to think that Vale still has it in him, but KC was impressive in the qualifying, which leads me to believe that the Ducati was and still is a bit of an animal and might take VR a bit of time to tame.
All the Repsols are fast and I'd like to see Danny giving a good account of himself, as I quite like him.
My other favourites are Spies, and Simoncelli, both of who deserve to be up near the top mixing it up with the big names, and not forgetting CC flying the flag for us, he is a talented rider and if grit and determination count for anything he should do better than any previous British rider to date.

Come on Pedrosa!

I reckon Ben Spies on a factory Yamaha has got be worth a cheeky punt. He's certainly got talent in spades, but I can see this being Honda's year. They've got the power advantage and in Stoner the rider to make the best of it, as long as he can stay fit that is.

According to the Radio Times the 125 and Moto 2 races are on the 'red button' at 3.50pm..

My heart is with Rossi as he is a true legend and the odds are stacked against him.

Pedrosa is the guy Id put real money on winning, he has the talent the bike and the right attitude.
Stoner not so much, if he can stay upright he will do well. But he has a tendency to loose his head.

I will be also be willing Simoncelli to do well, he could be the next big thing.

Lorenzo, :sick:

Well that was pretty boring. Typical MOTO gp race , hardly any overtakes and strung out.

[Willy_Eckerslike]

Hasn't Qatar always been like that though. Just having one thin clean line means no balls out dives up the inside or you're in the sand and that long straight just means anyone with a power advantage (Honda) can just not bother for 3/4s of the lap then just get their overtaking done there then relax again. Still, the bikes look nice under the lights. The season doesn't start for me until Europe, proper tracks and, usually, better racing.
