1) Yoshi Suzuki to win.
2) BMW, YART or SERT on the podium.
3) TT Legends to get much more support from Honda once the race is underway and Honda Japan realise they've backed the wrong horse.
4) Me to struggle to get online and find out what is going on.
Any more?

Hill, Rea, Tamada, Kiyo, loads of Aussies, Haga, Kagayama among the big guns drafted in. 59 entries. Everyone agrees standard is raised and Japanese teams on whole are better presented. Weather cool for here with plenty of cloud around and good chance of rain in race! I'm not even thinking of trying to predict anything at this stage!

Are YART running two bikes,or, have they benched their regular line up in favour of the yamaha all stars? Oh and perm any one from five hondas to win.

Haga, Hill & the Jap guy they ran at Losail I think. They crashed today. So Did we but zero damage . ABS fault led to switch to T bike and 2 sec improvement as ABS perfect on that one! Qualifying is on fastest rider, not average, so result is not very indicative of race performance. I still think it will be an amazing race. Euro teams had a fantastic piss-up at the log cabin - only SERT not there. BMW will race a full IDM spec engine - they did not even do that at Losail. 2.07s were posted - SERT & YART both reaping rewards of extensive pre. Race testing here. Hot? If you've been you know! Only 28 degs, but so uncomfortable ......
