There are Yamaha tracks and there are Honda tracks. Brno is a Yamaha track, so expect a strong showing from Jorge Lorenzo.
Valentino Rossi tasted victory for Yamaha at Brno during his 2009 championship-winning campaign. Next season he'll be back with Yamaha firmly ensconced as the secondary rider behind Jorge Lorenzo.
Casey Stoner will miss at least a couple of rounds due to his ankle injury, effectively ending his championship hopes.
Andrea Dovizioso can sit pretty now that he has officially inked a contract with Ducati for next season.
Toni Elias (24) will be Pramac's lone representative at Brno, home track of Cardion AB's Karel Abraham.
Dani Pedrosa brings momentum to Brno but he won't have the benefit of teammate Casey Stoner pushing him at Brno.
