with this season fresh in the tank, it's a bit of a stretch to predict next year, but here is my thinking.

Rossi is king, but like all past Kings he will have to relinquish his crown at some point. I am amazed at his hunger still. You would think that after 8 championships he might try F1 or something, perhaps the cat and mouse game is very appealing, and being the old guard is pretty cool, BUT I do not think he will make it 10

I loved Stoner the year he won, he was fricking brilliant, last year was a bit of a debacle but he made a valiant effort, this year what the f**k? I don't think his head is on right for some reason. I though perhaps the getting married thing was all he needed, I guess not. I don't think he will win next year, and we will probably see the same hot and cold performance with some strange excuses for the cold.

Lorenzo is a douche bag, I hate him as much as Pedrosa, he has highsided so many times he must be getting frequent flyer miles from Yamaha. I predict a few poles, a few wins, and lots of high speed cartwheels.

Pedrosa = *********. ever since he took out Nicky when he was leading the title chase I have hated him, it hasn't changed. he is fast but about 3rd fast, no better.

The rest of them forget it, which leaves Benny. Cool as a cucumber, greased lightning fast, quick study, not easily intimidated. It wouldn't make sense for Yamaha to let him chase the MotoGP title with substandard equipment after winning WSBK. I predict they will give him the top shelf gear, let him go head to head with the world, and he will prevail!
