The silly boy. I hear the new Yamaha bike is very fast so it looks like Rossi will take the MotoGP title again.

Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner look a strong team on the Ducati bikes but I cannot see Rossi not winning another title. I think the only way Rossi will not win is if he falls off or has bike trouble.

Rossi is too much of a pro for Stoner. The moaner will be there or thereabouts, but he ain't winning it.
Hayden should have a good season. He was wasted at Honda after they became Team Pedrosa and now he's got the fast bike that he wanted.
The single-tyre rule will make things interesting and I can see a few "second riders" upstaging a few of the bigger names as the season goes on - Lorenzo, Dovi, Hayden, maybe even Edwards. The cost cut's will probably put the privateer's in their place though - Honda have already stuck rev limiters on all of their customer bikes at the Sepang test this weekend.
I definitely think that it's Rossi's and Yamaha's to lose - Yamaha will probably romp it in the WSB as well.

Vale being Vale as usual.
Good season ahead aswell, pretty tight one i assume.
Yamaha had to build something faster to compete with Ducati and they have.
