I'm playing it safe with Rossi but I'll stick my head out (of my a$$ some would say) and claim Hayden on the podium.

Sete. I think Rossi is still the favorite this year (and rightfully so) but I think there's going to be some really good battles.

Why is that washed up has been Bayliss is even on the poll?
He'll be lucky to even finish on the lead lap. He'll actually get beat by Edwards.

Re: Moto G.P FINALLY
It is funny that the person who's asking for opinions/predictions doesn't have the nads to voice his own. Cold feet perhaps? Maybe he's waiting for practice before sharing to hedge his predictions? In any case, I find it a bit cowardly to say the least.

Anybody but rossi would be nice! I like Sete. Tamada is my favorite underdog. Then I'll take anybody on a Honda! I think hopkins deserves a good finish...he's a good kid!

Re: Moto G.P FINALLY
I made my choice in the polls. You KNOW who I'm gonna say anyway. As for cowardly? Hahaha I find it frighteningly dumb that anyone would KNOW what I'd pick yet still have to read it to make sure. You're the sorta guy that needs to look at the menu at McDonalds before you can order I bet, even though it's been the same menu for 11ty years basically. hahaha UGN Nedro.

Colin is on a bike that is doing hat he wants it to do, and is pretty happy by all reports by the ol' grandmothers hairdresser's twin cousin's baker. We saw what he could do when he was at one with the Honda, so I think if Rossi is gonna be at the front, CE will be right there with him. But time will tell. I'm just glad it's on again, so we can watch, bitch, flame and take the piss out eachother for another season. Haha

This one is hard to decipher. On one hand you're alluding to picking Colin for the win, but still won't say it. On the other hand you are saying if Rossi is up front so will Colin. And yet still no decisive choice. Hmmm?
How about having a tiny bit of courage and choosing one?
By the way is UGN another one of your waffling comments you would rather not commit yourself to?
C'mon guy, grow a backbone will ya.
