Well whos going to bet on Nicky holding on now?Rossis looking good and Caparossis on fire.Its going down to the wire.Even Malandris making a late charge.Looks like Pedrosas out of the running.xjrjohn

Capirossi has really stormed back late this season. Nakano has also been running very strong. My money's still on Rossi though. I'll put Nicky at 4th or 5th (please prove me wrong Hayden!!)

Prediction:
1. Rossi
2. Capirossi
3. Pedrosa
4. Melandri
5. Hayden
6. Nakano

Only a couple of races ago Rossi was saying the only chance he stood was to put Hayden/Pedrosa under pressure.Well they both seem to have put themselves under pressure.Good luck to Hayden/Pedrosa but i think his main challenge now is Caparossi.xjrjohn

No kidding! Capirex looked perfect today! I started watching on lap 6 or so and he didn't even seem to break a sweat!

Really tough break for Nakano. He was what...1/4 of a mile from the finish line when he went down? Lucky for Nicky but I still think that Rossi's going to wrap this up.

And what's happened to Pedro? He's looked downright...awful the last 2 weeks.

Good race though, not as wacky as last week's rainy race.

!!! Rossi.

When Loris, Bridgestone and Ducati get it right, they really get it right. Mr Hayden IS in big trouble. It was a REAL shame about Nakano. I still say give him a Repsol Honda and he will be THE guy for Rossi to deal with.

I tell ya what, Nakano does surprisingly well considering how much more advanced the other bikes seem to be. I've heard that the ZX-RR is bulky and sluggish, you'd never know with him piloting it though!

Loris was fantastique today. I'd say the three best riders out there (imho) are Capirossi, Rossi, and...probably Nakano actually.
