MOTOGP » Preview – Malaysian Grand Prix

will we get to see Toseland ride in moto gp in Valencia? Does anyone know when Toseland is to test his Yamaha

Hopper will not be testing new 2008 Suzuki GSV-R simply because he will move to Kawasaki next year.....

Ben Spies is an excelent rider. He deserves a chance to race the GSVR at Valencia. He beat Mladin to the last two AMA Championships, so he has definately earned a ride. Good luck to Aoki as well on the prototype. Also I agree with motp would be good to see Capirossi win at Sapeng, just because he is leaving Ducati at the end of the year.

i would love to see capirossi wins again, and sepang track has been very nice to him ...

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.

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.

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...

I believe Alex Barros take podium in Malasia

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.

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"
