With Shanghai's straight, the Ducks should clean up. Stoner extends his points lead, Capirex the bridesmaid, and CE for third. Yep, that last bit ain't a typo. CE's on the box.

'Course, this is at the risk of being permanently off of Lotp's Christmas card list.

Like an asthmatic fat kid running for a bus. Gold! Like, Lunatic Gold!

CE third...????
How you figure that?

"the new Mamola" and "the smug expression wiped from Uccio's fat face"
Gold also!

No real reason, Layback. My meds just kicked in.

I agree, with the track layout having 2 eternally long straights, and the Ducs running turbocharged, nitro-injected 990's, they are going to be unstoppable come race day. YNHWC, Rossi, CE, Pedrobot, Fat Toni, and the rest might even get lapped.
1. Stoner--even if he crashes, he'll have enough of a lead to walk to the finish and still win
2. Capirex--takes one step higher up the podium than last week.
3. Zombie Barros--Ducati sweep
I'd say Kraut for 4th, but my meds haven't kicked in yet.

Google.ch is Swiss, I knew the Swiss had something to do with the Chinese communist racetrack-building regime. Maybe they will collaborate with Alex Hofmann to get him a decent result.

1. Barros
2. Loris
3. Stoner
Oh, who am I kidding. Rossi will win. Somehow. Fogarty always found a way to win on the slowest bike. And what of Hopper and V? No respect? No results? Invisible, even in bright blue? This is a great place for a Yuichi Ui one off ride.

Optimism tells me to pick Hopper for a good finish. Realism is equivalent to pessimism in this case, as the Ducatis will dominate unless Fat Toni can knock them all off the track, one by one, into the gravel. Hey, come to think of it, maybe that's not such a far-fetched idea after all. Go Fat Toni!

Ye all shall rue the day for not even mentioning me after nine bleedin' posts! Me, Gangsta Guintoli shall have secured my rightful place in the standings. Behold, and be mine, Fifteenth Place!

(Man, I REALLY shouldn't double up my meds)
