Is anybody else out there as excited as me for the race this weekend?

After Hayden crashed out, virtually destroying his championship hopes, my enthusiasm has been greatly dampened.

I'll still watch it though.

I wanted the season end on the last race decision, but not this way. If Nicky won the race he shoulda be the champion, without the factors of Rossi has to be third place. I'm a Rossi fan, but I believe Nicky rode a hell of a season.
#69 has the advantage of going into his second favorite track. Also Dani, Melandri and Elias could be behind him to help.
But Rossi is the living legend and the 2wheel God, unless his engine blows up, he'll ride the wheels out of that thing to make it.
My Prediction is:
1-Rossi by a long shot
2-Hayden passing Melandri on the last lap
3-Melandri
4-Pedrosa

Nicky did ride a hell of a season, but I think it was the bad luck of many people that kept him at the top.

Rossi's crashes and bike problems at the beginning of the season, Capirossi, Giberneau, and Melandri's crashes. But that's racing, right.

This is going to be an epic battle. I'm rooting for Rossi all the way, but there are a lot of Hondas out there, and I'm sure there will be some team orders this time around.

I think qualifying should be almost as exciting as the race...

Not true! Check out the SCCA Runoffs on Speed. (Weekends, in November and December.) Some of the best racing I've seen!
