VR is irrelevant to Sete ... it could be as well any other guy picking the title!

It is just that poor Sete does it to himself!

I voted for Vale, because he is the best of the field historically. But I think there are some other strong contenders - and I wouldn't count Gibernau out all together. Capirossi, Hayden, and Pedrosa are strong. The Ducatis are amazingly well sorted this year, so I'd keep an eye on Loris and Sete since, for now, the Ducs seem to be the best ride. The Repsol team seems to be having handling problems, but if Pedrosa's tires hadn't gone sour near the end at Jerez, I think that he'd given Capirossi something to think about. Pedrosa was cutting Capirossi's lead systematically.

Elias, Melandri, and Stoner all have good prospects if their bikes are up to the challenge. We'll find out how this sorts out in Qatar.

Just see the number of votes for SG above
