MotoGP race in Austin, live right now

MotoGP is back this weekend at Circuit of the Americas in Austin. The main race will be at 2:00 pm Central time and I expect it will be shown live on Speed. Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden are Americans to watch in the GP class and Josh Herrin is the American in Moto2 (qualified 27th of 34; 2.5 seconds off pole).

Can Marquez be stopped?
Will there be carnage at turn 1?
Are the Yamahas doomed?
Can the Doctor ever regain his old form?
Does anyone on TD care?
