This whole conversation is like parents getting into a fight at their children's soccer game.
There is no right or wrong, there is just stupid. If you prefer one guy over the other in this matter, then what does that make you? I just know that I just watched the Turd basically dominate a race packed with riders that have more talent in their nose hair than Kevin and Puig combined.
While I agree with you for the most part, I disagree about the talent part. You're comparing completely different skillsets.
One is the ability to get the electronics dialed in while the other is the ability to push the ragged edge of competition knowning that the next corner could see you highsiding into the upper troposphere.
I don't doubt that Dani or JLo or Marquez could ride those bikes. But the comparison of skillsets is sort of skewed based on the nature of the beasts.
