MotoGP 2005: Who will take 2nd?

With three to go...the question is who will take 2nd....

Rider - Points - Victories - 2nds - 3rds

Biaggi --- 159 - 0 - 2 - 2
Melandri - 157 - 0 - 2 - 3
Edwards - 152 - 0 - 1 - 2
Hayden -- 150 - 1 - 0 - 2
Capirossi - 148 - 2 - 1 - 1




UPDATE:
Now with 2 races to go...

Rossi ---- 331
Hayden -- 170
Melandri - 170
Edwards - 162
Biaggi ---- 159
Capirossi - 148
Gibbernau - 137

Pretty interesting that this poll had Hayden & Melandri tied going into PI, and that's how they came out...

I think Melandri will take second, but only by the hair of his chinny chin chin.

Voted Hayden only because I don't want Melandri to get it. Nothing would make Ratboy happier than seeing his buddy get second.

If only Hayden would have backed it off and settled for 3rd in the 1st race this year.

Re: MotoGP 2005: Who will take 2nd?

I voted for Melandri. He is riding the tires off of that Honda. I wish that Edwards would perform better but it does not look like that will happen. It looks like he is satisfied with coming in 4th or 5th place all the time.
