MotoGP:
1. Valentino Rossi - How good is this bloke? It's just plain scary how good he is.
2. Sete Gibernau - Fallen twice but he's been incredibly quick all season and is still a favourite for the title
3. Max Biaggi - The final rider of the 'big three'. His win at Sachsenring was overdue but well deserved. Best shot for the title in a long time.
4. Colin Edwards - Yet to crack the podium, but his incredible consistency has him easily in the top five.
5. Makoto Tamada - Mr. Smiles-a-lot. Great race in Brazil and has been unlucky.
6. Shinya Nakano - Has put that Kawasaki in places it simply shouldn't be. Brilliant.
7. Alex Barros - Has had some good rides but once again inconsistency is costing him wins.
8. Marco Melandri - Has come of age on the Yamaha with some superb rides in the past four races.
9. Loris Capirossi - Has really struggled with the Ducati, but is excellingin adverse conditions.
10. Ruben Xaus - On a year-old bike, half the time ahead of Bayliss and well ahead of Hodgson.
250cc:
1. Daniel Pedrosa - 2004 250cc World Champion. This kid will be better than Rossi (*drool* at the future fights). You heard it here first.
2. Randy de Puniet - Has mixed blinding speed with consistency - finally!
3. Alex de Angelis - Very impressive rookie season. Finally got a podium in Germany.
4. Sebastian Porto - Incredibly quick this year after a year in the wilderness.
5. Toni Elias - Rode some excellent races prior to Germany. Certainly put Rolfo in the shade.
6. Anthony West - Best privateer by far again. This guy should be on a works bike.
7. Hiroshi Aoyama - First season in the premier category has seen him improve with each race.
8. Roberto Rolfo - Another win but not much else. Has lost that consistency...
9. Fonsi Nieto - Unimpressive despite his 5th place in the chase for Pedrosa.
10. Manuel Poggiali - Absolute disaster. Looked to turn the corner in Brazil but....
125cc:
1. Roberto Locatelli - Completely biased decision. The old dog's teaching those kids lessons.
2. Andrea Dovizioso - Impressive season on the lone factory Honda.
3. Hector Barbera - Very impressive. Will be in the fight all year for the title.
4. Casey Stoner - Surely a KTM win isn't far away now for Casey. Left Kallio for dead.
5. Mirko Giansanti - Rediscovering old form. Consistent but lacking that final bit for a podium.
6. Pablo Nieto - Once again he's very consistent without taking a victory.
7. Jorge Lorenzo - Shown flashes of incredible speed but still liable to throw the bike down the road.
8. Marco Simoncelli - Rated highly because of his win in Jerez.
9. Steve Jenkner - Where's it all gone wrong? Should be far higher.
10. Mika Kallio - Best of the rest it seems most of the time.
