MotoGP - I'll have a tenner on #46 to take the 2007 Championship.

[moletrap]

21 riders - is that grid down a bit on last year?

The new engines could make this season a bit of a lottery, you could make a case for a dozen riders being in the mix for a while. The cream should rise to the surface, but it may only take a few retirements to knock someone right out of contention.

I've got a sneaky view that Capirossi might come good.

I've got a sneaky view that Capirossi might come good.

He's getting a bit long in the tooth IMO, wins about 2 and gets another couple of podiums.
