Casey is flying. I think it will take a huge effort for anyone to beat him in the first race. I have an old miners helmet with a light if any of the riders want an advantage, though, it has not been wind tunnel tested yet :D

The second nights testing has stirred the pot a bit. Stoners total dominance shaken at last and three of the fastest four are Michelin shod Yams. Should Vale (10th) be crapping himself or is it just the Michelin qualifier syndrome?I'll tell you who should be worried...Marco, and the more I see of Toseland the better he looks.

Perhaps Bridgestone have been caught out by the low temperatures, but, race tyres may be a different story. If Stoner can qualify on the 1st or 2nd row of the grid, I think he will still be the man to beat.

[Corny]

you THINK he will be the man to beat? That guy will blow everyone away next week!

[Ranger]

Sucked in for Valentino... whenever Stoner isn't out in front, its the Michelin-shod Yamahas! :laugh:

At this rate, I'll bet a sig that there's going to be a major fall out between Rossi and Yamaha at the end of this year. :D

[Wim_Impreza]

That's my opinion, too.

It seems Melandri is struggling on that Ducati. Rossi has a strong teammate in Lorenzo. I don't hope it will be the year too much for Capirossi...

[maxu05]

If Randy can stay upright, he may be the man to push Casey IMO.

[patnicholls]

Casey stills looks like the man.

I would've put Dani up there as second til he got injured at Sepang, now not sure.

Despite using the qualifiers, Jorge and JT have been very fast on race tyres too over winter. Likewise Randy and Dovi on the satellite Hondas - both very impressive.

Going to be interesting!
