This is how I see it...This is a huge track, but not very high speed...Last year Stoner had a DNF and Pedrosa had the "W"...Spies scored a 2nd place behind Dani boy...And you gotta wonder if this hurricane will screw up the race the same way Ike did...
--Stoner: 7 wins in 11 races this year (stuff that in your win percentage book)
--Lorenzo: very beatable lately and Dovi is only 23 points behind him
--Dovizioso: one of the most consistent riders in GP, and may end up beating JLo in points
--Rossi: quietly sitting in 4th place and riding harder than he's ever had to
--Pedrosa: still a threat to win any given race, yet you just don't ever feel like he's going to
--Spies: riding hard and scoring 4th and 5th consistently
--Hayden: still riding hard, but needs to accept he will never again be competitive in GP
--Simoncelli: appears to be figuring out how to race with the big boys without crashing everyone out
