    Motegi GP

    Greetings from Japan. Am here for a combination family holiday (Disney Land and Sea), business trip and MotoGP weekend.
    Looking forward to heading back to Motegi. Was last there in 2008 to see Rossi take the title - guess I won't see that this time...
    Anyway my pick.
    1. Stoner (duh!)
    2. Pedrosa
    3. Simoncelli

    Hope to have updates from there.

    Well I was going to ask whether the Motegi circuit would suit the Yamaha... but events have conspired to answer that question. Honda domination. So far.

    To quote White Trash from another thread, "Fuck me!" Look at those FP2 times — Honda own Motegi! A Repsol 1, 2, 3 could be on the cards methinks...
