Oakland rider list...

RV kinda hauling the proverbial ass last weekend... zoom, zoom. Click to enlarge if ya wanna.

Stewart's pretty much caned everybody at this place the last two years (riding that wonky Yamaha, no less) but I don't think there's a three-peat there in his future, that gimpy knee and soft track surface don't favor the Seven's current condition. Also, those of us (which is me) here at HQ feel this weekend is gonna be Roczen's best chance to put it to Tomac, we (I) just feel the Oakland track (soft, rutted) suits the 94's riding style more so than Tomaco's.

 Wonder who Short is going to ride for this weekend. I heard he may be pitted out of Hansen's truck but who knows.

Please pick the top five 450 guys in the order you think they will finish, plus the tenth place 450 guy and the top five 250 guys in the order you think they will finish. Grazie.
