Not much to choose between the big four of Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa and Stoner overall; have to see how it starts to pan out today. Not a brave prediction but the podium will be made up of three of those!
Interesting to see if Dani uses the air-valve Honda

Rossi will be looking to assert himself over Pedrosa who is his main rival at this point in time and judging by his current dominance I would expect him to deliver. I still think Lorenzo has the edge over Pedrosa despite his injuries so my prediction is...

1. Rossi
2. Lorenzo
3. Pedrosa

Stoner close, but no cigar this time

As always, my vote goes to Casey and the Big Red, he has got to start winning and soon, or all is lost.

More importantly, Rossi has extended his contract to 2010 and that worries me, he is looking good at the moment, his confidence has returned, reliability, and speed sorted, he "could" runaway with the series like he has done in the past. Would that be a good thing? Loyalties aside, would anyone object to Rossi dominating the series for another 3 years and becoming the best rider, ever there was?

Pedrosa and Lorenzo were both quick this morning, as is Rossi, cant see them edging him out in a straight battle on his current form. 1 Rossi, 2 Pedrosa, 3 Lorenzo. Hopefully JT to get higher than 6th but that might have to wait for Donnington or Assen.

I hear Honda are not using the pneumatic engine(crash.net)but im sure both pedrosa and lorenzo will want to give the spanish fans plenty to cheer about but Rossi on his current form could well spoil the party,stoner needs a podium so this is looking like it should be a very interesting race im going for Rossi win pedrosa 2nd lorenzo 3rd.

lorenzo had ANOTHER crash today, had to be examined but i think i heard he is alright, from the picture i saw on the moto gp website it looked pretty big, any one else think he's trying too hard?!
