Pedrosa is on pole. Hayden down in 14th position. He must have lost a puck. Pedrosa could be set to check out in this one. His confidence is high.

My prediction... More than half of the TV and internet audience sleeps through more than half of the race.

As far as I understand it, the sponsorship has not been confirmed for next year as yet. It may end up that Fiat follows Rossi, and the factory Yamaha squad picks up Telefonica (as they've been rumored to want to get back into the bidness).
