yea JLO ruined my pics i had MM second. got 107 points. bradel crash killed me. so did pedrosa winning. i moved up though from like 4300 to 3300 i wish i was in on week one

110 this week, needed JLo and Ped to switch spots for the correct first 5 positions. And yes, Bradl crash effed my pics, still love him tho!!!

Mark my words, it's Dani Pedrosa's world right now. Make no mistake he is the man to beat from now on, he's finally on form!

Yeah, I am pretty happy with how this season is turning out. Rossi was looking good until he had that off as well. No idea why the Duc runs better in the wet, but maybe we can pool our resources and hire somebody to sneak in and soak down every track before each race. Marquez is a beast - I'm going to pull for him to beat out Dani, but as long as JLO isn't in the running I am a happy man.

In regards to the Duc's being good in the wet - I really don't think they actually are good in the wet to be honest. I think rain just serves as the great equalizer in a way. It brings the limit down to a level any of the factory bikes can reach, and so I think rider ability and who has the most balls to push it comes into play a bit more. So naturally you have riders who may not be on the absolute best machinery (Ducati) but are actually very talented (Dovi, Hayden, Crutchlow) start to show what they can do.

I think you are right about Marc as well. Last year when Stoner was down, Dani seem to come out from under his shadow, and he won pretty much every match up between him and JLO. But Marc has shown he can beat Dani in a match up, so I have no doubt he will be a challenge to Dani running away with this championship.

leman got a 105 man why do i keep putting Rossi as 5th or whatever. lots of crashes though this week. not doing well

You should have picked up some points with Hayden finishing so well. You usually have him on the podium, right?

hayden i had at 7th. never really have him better then 8th. i knew the ducs would run good in the wet but i had it as a dry race in my mind. i had marquez winning but damn pedrosa looks good.
