Laguna Seca "spoiler alert"
Well folks, the silly season has become so silly that with only hours to go until practice starts for the Laguna race, ducti.ms forum members are too busy talking about possible rider-team movements to start a race thread. 
This has been talked about all year as the race that will decide Rossi's future (or not) with Ducati.
All will be revealed soon....

The only thing that has ever decided Rossi's future is the size of the cheque.

I'm pumped for this race. I'm expecting a good Stoner/Lorenzo/Dani battle for 1st/2nd, and I think there should be some nice action for the 3/4/5 spots as well. It'd be awesome to see Nicky on a podium here, or Spies for that matter.
My pre-practice, pre-qualifying guess so far
Stoner
Lorenzo
Pedrosa
Dovi
Hayden
Spies
Crutchlow
Rossi

I have a gut feeling Hayden will do very well at Laguna. I think Spies will go for broke, either on the podium or crash out. Dani or Stoner are my early favorites with Lorenzo stalking them for the possible win.

Sorry CAlexio, I was too enthralled by Davy.J's non-biased and insightful commentary to notice.
Will try to do better next time.
