I think we will find that Yamaha would like to spoil Honda's 50th and with Guy staying with Hydrex for the coming season their chances are limited.
Obviously last year Michael would not have been competitive on the Ducati with the Pit stops required and the need to use roller starters.
The new R1 looks like being the machine to be on next season and with his smooth style i think top 3 would be a very realistic finish even if JM and CD finish.
Obviously these are just my opinions, more importantly to have Michael back at the TT on competitive machinery would be a huge plus for the event.
So here's to hoping that we do see the Rob Mac team and Michael at TT' 09.
