Thumbs up MotoGP Valencia 11/08/09 **SPOILER THREAD**

Well, this race should be interesting...Last race of the year...

--Spies will be racing in this one, in case anyone forgot
--Will the top riders be trying at all, or go "easy" so they don't risk crash/possible injury
--Who do you see winning?

However, a few things concern me...
--We know he'll be racing his azz off to show everyone that he deserves to be in the GP paddock
--He'll be on an unfamiliar bike
--He may push too hard on said unfamiliar bike and end up crashing
--If he crashes, he might get hurt - - - Badly

I see Rossi checking Spies out to see what kind of competition he may be.

I'm going to say Stoner as the winner. Nicky 2nd.

I'm taking a Lorenzo/Rossi/Stoner podium. Spies will take 6th, ahead of Edwards and Hayden. Pedrobot 4th.

I picked Stoner; he's on fire right now.

But with the championship in his pocket, Rossi is free to go at it and go for the win without having to worry about losing championship points if he crashes, so I think he'll give Stoner a very hard time, and of course might well take it.

Unless the first group has crashes, I think we'll be seeing the usual Hayden, Edwards, Dovisioso, maybe Elias and Spies, all fighting for 5th.
