Does anyone care to pick the rostrum?
Supposedly Yamaha will be trying a new frame to get rid of the chatter
problems, will it end in tears, victory or somewhere in between?
Pedrosa won the 250's there last year and Rossi the MGP - just from
Gibernau.
It's hard to make a prediction until some practice laps are done, but I'm
going take a gamble and pick Rossi for the win, Pedrosa 2nd and Hayden 3rd
and possibly Stoner 4th.
If the "Stones" work at the track this year I guess the Ducati's of Gibs and
Cap could come into play but I'm dubious they will be competitive.
The Suzuki's don't have to do much to improve on last years results (13th
Roberts 1 min off the pace and 16th Hopkins who was lapped) but even with
the improved bike I'll be very surprised if they are consistently on the
pace.

Strange. I thought the Manx Grand Prix was in August? We haven't
even had the TT yet, surely?

Without looking at yours (but I did look at past LM resutls) I came up with
almost the same:
Pedrosa
Hayden
Rossi

There's a few putting their money on Pedrossa for a double!

Tough one.
The Yamahas were strong last year, and both Rossi and Edwards seem to
go well there. But, the Camel team still don't seem to be able to get
both bikes to work well at the same meeting.
With the stop start nature of the circuit, I think it's quite a
physical place, so if anywhere is going to test Pedrosa's strength and
stamina, this could be it.
<Goes to check last season's Motocourse>
OK, here's my bet:
1. Hayden
2. Rossi
3. Melandri
I'm racing myself this weekend[1], so I'll have to watch it when I get
home
