Rossi's looked quick all weekend, so I think he will extend his lead. Interesting that Repsol have been the top Honda team this weekend, with Edwards comparatively off the pace. McCoy'll be pleased to have matched McWilliams all weekend as well.

Rossi does appear to have a slight edge at the moment I agree, although during the course of a race I think tyre wear might become a issue for the Yamaha, Rossi is making up for his loss of power over a single lap by driving the wheels off of the bike, can the tyres take that much punishment over a entire race? Personally I think the Hondas are a bit easier on their tyres, sure its harder to get the ultimate pace out of the Hondas over a single lap, but during a race distance if the tyres hold up a bit better we could well see Sete on the #1 spot - and that Honda is going to love those 2 long straights a heck of a lot more than the Yamaha.
Tommorow should be a cracking race! |

Made it look easy - Telefonica weren't quick this time, Seté sliding back to 7th after a poor start. Even if Seté wins the last two races, Rossi just needs one 2nd to clinch it.
