Who is going to win at Laguna?

I'm going to say Hayden for the hat trick. Of course I'm letting emotion get in the way, but it would be cool to see it happen. He does have the mental edge at Laguna and has shown that his Dani Pedrosa edition RC212V has been retooled to fit an adult sized rider. Two podiums in the last couple of races. 14th to 3rd in the dry at the Sachsenring even though he thought his cracked exhaust was going to do him in. He just may do it.

Other American hopefuls are Edwards and Hopkins obviously. Edwards can make it happen this year. He's just got to get some balls. Hopper still doesn't know what it's like to ride hard on shagged tires so I'm not going to put any money on him. Now he's off to Kawasaki next season where he can attain a whole new bag of excuses.

I'm not putting money on anyone, so I guess this is all conjecture. Unless somebody out there wants to throw down. I'll put $20 on Hayden to win.

Now as far as the championship contenders are concerned, will either one finish? Stoner has been mistake free so far. That in itself is a miracle. Rossi has been thinking about ralleye racing too much and has taken his eye off the ball a couple times. What will their fate be? Tune in to FOX and get the crap bored out of you listening to the announcers. I would recommend turing off the volume and doing your best British accent and make your own kind of music.
