Thanks for posting the airtimes!

Predictions:
1) Pedrosa sails a yacht to the race...and ends up 4th.
2) Rossi finishes 6th, complains about front-end woes, says they're "making progress."
3) Stoner makes us all yawn in the night.

+1 though you're forgetting, Lorenzo gives us a nice little battle with Stone at the beggining, but then high sides all the way to outer orbit

You never know what can play out, but it does look like it will go according to script. Undecided

I'd say Lorenzo battles Stoner for first for a little while (2 laps? 3?), then spends the rest of the race trying to hold 2nd from a combination of Spies, Hayden, Rossi, and Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Pedrosa.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

My predictions... I will be super excited when Rossi or Hayden power to the top 5, until the first corner, then it becomes a parade to Stoner's first win of the season.
