Rossi leads Lorenzo by 30 points with 4 races to go...Pedrosa and Stoner are long shots being 80 and 87 points behind...Everyone else is over 100 points behind, so they are mathematically eliminated...

Realistically, it's Rossi vs Lorenzo to the end...When both of them keep the rubber side up, they have been battling til the last corner every race...So who's your pick to be champ??

As long as Rossi is on a competitive bike, he'll be my choice...He may be 30, but he's still a kid inside, just out there having fun...It's not a job to him, and I think that helps him relax and just ride like he can ride....

100 points up for grabs, and Rossi only needs to score 71 to win.

Lorenzo will go down one more time......to put all the talk to rest.
Count on it!

Lorenzo is good but he still puts the bike on the ground too often.

I like Rossi okay and all, but I'd like to see his 'apprentice' take the crown. I doubt it will happen this season, but I'm optimistic for next.

Basically if Rossi keeps the bike upright and in the upper half of the field Lorenzo has little chance of passing him for the championship. 30 points isn't a huge lead, but with only 4 races Rossi would have to place out of the points in at least one of them, and have lorenzo beat him in 2 of the other 3, AND Lorenzo would basically have to win every race too.

Jorge has a chance, but it's a small one. Rossi may be like a kid having fun, but he's smart enough to know that he just needs to ride a good pace and not crash in order to take it.

Rossi all the way. Experience trumps all but the worst of luck in this situation I think.
