Anyone else catch the races this past weekend? It seems like it's going to be an exciting season!

Anyone care to share their predictions?

I think he still has one in him! Apparently he thinks so too with that 2 year extension.

Yes that would be fantastic. But I just can't see it happening. Lorenzo again IMO (unfortunately)

By 47, I assume you mean 47-1=46

Personally, I'd love to see the Ducatis excel this year. It seems like they've made significant improvements since last season. That, combined with new electronics and tires will make for an exciting season!

There will also be quite a few seats opening up. Lorenzo to Ducati?

I'd like to see Stoner get back in the saddle again. But I'd certainly like to see Rossi get one more before retiring.

The rumors are flying around the paddock since Petrux injured himself. I would also like to see Stoner back in the saddle. No one could tame the Ducati like he did.

Stoner coming back would add some more excitement and battling to the season.

I'm for Rossi or either of the Ducati riders... I don't like Lorenzo or Marquez. Although both are incredible riders. Lorenzo is so damn SMOOTH... I guess that's why everyone at the track says FAST is SMOOTH.

I don't care who wins as long as it's not Lorenzo or Marquez.

Oh, and the have to ride a Ducati (see avatar)

On a side note, it was great to see the Panigale win race 1 in Spain last night!

I would not want to be in AI29's leathers walking back to the pits.
I like that Dovi said that he didn't know if it was 29 or 46 that was behind him into the turn but as soon as he went down he understood that it was 29!

Rain in the forecast for Sunday! I wouldn't mind seeing bike swaps! Last year was interesting with the weather. Anyone else making the trip to COTA? I'll be heading out Thursday morning!

Was just talking about that here in the office! It's definitely going to be interesting.

I'm not, by any means, a Lorenzo fan, but I'd love to see him win a championship on the Ducati. It will be cool to watch Lorenzo and Stoner work together to develop the bike.

So, who fills the seat at Yamaha?
