Not a chance.
Barring a mechanical failure this one will be all Rossi. Hayden won't figure in the standings at all and watch out for an Aussie on the podium. If Stoner can keep his head he might get a second.

There are some real surprises there.

Roberts 4th on the grid! I wonder who lit a fire under him?

Hayden is still saying hes got no grip with race tyres,only came good with qualifers in.Gibaneu and Caperossi had a real bad show.After practice vanished into garage,doors down,spoke to no one.And Pedrosa didnt look too happy.xjrjohn

The Island is all about maintaining good corner speed so if you are lacking grip things will get sad very quickly.
Should be a good race.

I agree. Would love to see Nakano on the podium though. He probably will at Motegi.

If Edwards could get on the podium it could save his racing career. We'll see how it all plays out. Go Hayden!!

Prediction:

-Rossi will work his magic and take the W
-Hayden will get either 2nd or 3rd
-Pedrosa will squeak up to the front somehow, not sure if he'll podium
-Stoner will get ancy and miss a big turn or two and won't hit the podium
-Edwards will look great for most of the race but somehow manage to screw up
-Capirossi won't even be in the picture
-KRJR, having qualified high, will end up in 6th or 7th
-Nakano will surprise everyone and do quite well
-Checa...he'll be out of the picture as well
-Melandri will run a decent race and might hit 3rd on the podium

Just my random predictions

Final order:
-Rossi
-Hayden
-Melandri/Pedrosa
-Melandri/Pedrosa
-Nakano
-Stoner
-KRJR
-Edwards
