Kicks off tomorrow in Qatar.  From the looks of it, Honda is dominating with Stoner leading the way.  I hope Stoner beats Pedroza every race!  Next up is Yamaha.  I hope Spies beats Lorenzo more often than not.  Pulling up the rear are the Ducatis again   Nicky is one of my favorite riders but the Ducati just can't corner.  Stoner makes the jump from Ducati to Honda and immediately starts to dominate the time sheets.  Rossi goes from Yamaha to Ducati and is in the bottom half.  It'll be interesting to see how well Ducati can develop their bike as the year goes on.  And there's Colin Edwards riding well on the Yamaha satelite team and I'm always pulling for him too.

Well, as predicted in the first race at Qatar, Stoner ran away with it.  Honda came out to dominate this year with four factory bikes and it's not unreasonable to expect them to be in the top six positions every race.  For this weekends race, Stoner and Pedrosa are at the top of the time sheets already.  Ducati is making a better showing as both Rossi and Hayden like Jerez.
