My top 5 (in no particular order) Edwards, Vermuelen, Stoner, Pedrosa, Hayden. It will be nice to see Duhamel in the premier class once again.

Let the record show that the odds reflect my predictions form like, a week ago exactly.


And even if Rossi is cracking you can't discount a guy with as many world championships as him. I think they're giving him better odds because of the problems Hayden's had so far in the season... 2 podiums in a row is great, but it's not consistent... Hayden's a great rider on this track, too, but if the Honda wakes up on the wrong side of the bed there won't be much he can do about it.

I'm sorry but two 3rds after a measely year is not evidence that he's capable of winning. I've podiumed races, doesn't mean I'm qualified to win. Germany was a function of the tires, he's gonna have to qualify higher than 14 if he wants to win a race. He hadn't finished higher than what, 7th in the previous 8 races?

The guy is magic at Laguna but odds are set based on magic. He may very well win it... I hope he does... but Rossi and Stoner have shown far more ability to win this year. What you should be asking is why Stoner doesn't have better odds than Rossi.
