MOTOGP » Preview – Malaysian Grand Prix

The 125cc Championship CAN actually be decided on Sunday, if Talmacsi wins and Faubel DNFs...

possible podium
stoner or caparossi
caparossi stoner
rossi rossi

this will all depend on the michelin tyres if rossi gets on the poduim or not

Nobi Aoki will debut the Suzuki 2008 GSVR Prototype at Sepang it is hoped we get some static pictures of the 2007 & 2008 models side by side to see if there is a big difference. It can be assumed one person that will take more than a little interest will be Loris just to see if the colour matches or clashes with his eyes. The Prototype/s will stay at Sepang for further testing after the event, Vermeulen and Aoki will be the test riders on the Monday no mention about Hopkins testing it no idea why

The 125s and the 250s will be exiting to watch as always. Lorenzo's win at the Island was destructing in regards to pace. Hope this time it will be a closer fight. Looks like he is a man on a mission.
Regarding Moto GP, I think Stoner or Capirex will have this one in the bag although I will never rule out of contention the GOAT, Dr. Rossifumi. Who knows maybe even one of the Suzukis or Hondas might finish on the podium.

Legend it would open a few eyes if the Suzuki Prototype was on the podium, just to get things moving for the other Manufactures for the 2008 season, I would love to see the Protype near the front at sometime during the race. "yep who knows"

Saltbush,
I would love to see Suzuki on the podium (as I own one), with the new prototype or the current GSVR. It is possible. Hopper has had his best year so far and so has Vermeulen, and they are fighting for 4th so they will go all out no doubt. It would not be a surprise as if it would be if Kawasaki (who are also having a better year) or d'Antin Ducati finished on the podium, although each rider is capalbe of doing so including Westy. I just want to see some exiting passing and racing most of all.

I believe Alex Barros take podium in Malasia

If the race is physically demanding, like very hot temperatures and lots of humidity, I can see Randy de Puniet on the podium, as the Kwaker should be OK on the long straight and Randy is probably the fitter rider on the grid... Other tough riders are Capirex, Hayden, and of course the never weak Rossi...

Saltbush...also testing the Suzuki on monday it is rumored is Ben Spies, I'm interested to see how well he does...I read, if he does well, they may wild card him in Valencia.

Well folks isn't this a nice topic,nobody is sledging and are just making predictions, without any nasties. Wayne I would like to see Ben Spies get a run, we know very little about him in Australia, we only read the different oppinions on this forum about him and thats when the nasties start.
I would like to see Westy do well at Sepang,he is/was a battler who always seemed to be on the wrong bike at the wrong time, his rise to MotoGp would make a great story of what happens to the battlers tying to make the big time, and what they have to go through
"West Side Story" springs to mind, I am sure there are other Westy's battling behind the scenes not many of them make it.
