I beg to differ - although the duke is a bit of a handfull, Stoner is seriously quick around this track! Look at last year, he only lost out (by not very much) to Melandri, who cannot be beaten when he is having a Good Day! Rossi may have the superiour bike in corners, but it'll still be tough for him to beat stoner. And what do you mean not enough straight for the duke to use its speed? The back straight and the kink, then up hill is where stoner will have the greatest advantage, and I think the bike will be more stable underbraking aswell (looks a longer bike?)

Still, its a close field (2seconds first to last) so its anyones guess.

Come on Guintoli!
