Rossi is the master of adaptation so the new electronics and tyres will play into his hands for the opening few rounds at least. I think Lorenzo might be worst affected of the main guys - they changed the front Bridgestone last year (or before?) and it ruined his corner speed which is what he needs. Until they changed back, he was off the pace.
There is no way Stoner will rock up at PI and podium. He's 3 years and counting away. I don't care if he's been testing, it's not the same thing. Is he really going to beat one of Rossi/Marquez/Lorenzo/Pedrosa and that assumes no other bolter from the pack like Iannone for example. If Stoner gets top 8, he'll be doing well.
