The Yamaha Monster Team overall, has been doing well with Spies holding seventh as fellow Yamaha factory rider Jorge Lorenzo holds onto the Moto GP points lead heading into the Netherlands Moto GP.

Dani Pedrosa of Spain, will be the wild card as the Moto GP riders hit the middle of this three week stretch. Pedrosa and his Repsol Honda teammate, Andrea Dovizioso are trailing Moto GP points leader Jorge Lorezo by 27 and 33 points respectively. Pedrosa has watched as the Moto GP title has slipped away from him yet again and The Netherlands Moto Gp will be a good place for Pedrosa to make a statement.

Podium predictions for The Netherlands Moto GP could surprise the everyday fan. Look for Dani Pedrosa to win the Netherlands Moto GP overall with Casey Stoner second on the podium and Nickey Hayden pulling into the third podium spot.
