[GeoTav]

Can't wait to see Yamaha (Rossi and Edwards, perfect team + Xaus) and Ducati kicking Honda ass !!

And to see the Proton-KTM riding ...

Only Melandri and Tamada good on Honda RCrashV211 !! Bayliss starting to be a bit old, as Biaggi, Barros, and soon Gibernau lol, so almost all Honda riders.

I just heard bayliss was a joke so I wont mention him anymore LOL, Suzi seem more on the pace this year ? Havent looked into it that much really or seen much for that matter apart from a couple of sepng test vids

Full suport for Ducati MotoGP teams this year for me, it's just a shame they only have 3 bikes this year. lol
A Ducati in podium in 1st race @ jerez is my bet!
...they also will have new fairings to be shown @ 1st race of the season.
