Just watched last years race again, the track is better than I remember, very close, flowing racing. The Ducati of Capirossi did better than I thought too and was at the back of the lead group for the first half of the race, this bodes well for Stoner as this years Duc is a more competitive package and the Stones are much better too, combine that with Stoners current form and he may be in with a shot, certainly of a top 3 placing. Before watching the race just now I thought this wouldn't be a good Duc track and had Stoner down for a top 5 only. Only a couple of days then the Friday sessions start, can't wait. Paul
