Other than being a crybaby, Pol isn't a douchebag...
Alvaro is one of the nicest guys in the paddock.
Vinales is an animal.
I would even argue that even though he is a friggin' emotional robot, Lorenzo isn't actually a doucher.

Marqueso and Pedrama are the douchebags.

It has nothing to do with them being Spaniards. It has to do with them being Repsol's display of power in the grand scheme of things. It is a glaring mark of how Dorna is letting Repsol make their policy for them.

I have no issues with all those guys being Spaniards.

Marquez would be a douche if he was American.

I like watching Iannone race. He's balls out, but not douchey. I do agree that he's inconsistent. I can look past douchebag moves as long as you realize that it was douchebag move.

I keep doing this, but Sic was constantly apologizing for his douchebag moves and you could see that the guy was simply impatient. He wanted to make the pass and he wanted to do it NOW! Then he would take out someone and he would look like a puppy that just peed in the house. Marquez basically blames the other guy. But he is young and I believe that Repsol will do their best to mold him, hopefully better than what they've done with the Turd. At least Marquez actually smiles.

So assuming that Repsol get their way, which they probably will, HRC factory team wil be Pedrosa/Marquez. Yamaha already signed Lorenzo and they are not in a hurry to sign anyone else, most likely because they will wait as long as they can to sign Crutchlow so that the Ben doesn't throw in the towel mid season. Ducati will resign Nicky, the question will go back to the options that will be presented to Rossi (see below).

The Satellites will be a mess. Dovi will most likely stay with Tech 3. I would try to sign Ben back to Tech 3, at least he would stay with a consistent bike. If they pass the 4 bike limit rule then Rossi would fit with Gresini if he was willing to go satellite. LCR has Bradtl. With no 4 bike rule, then maybe Gresini gets 2 Hondas and keeps Bautista with Rossi (I would love to see this combo). Ducati would then need to see how many bikes they are willing to field. They would need someone to replace Rossi, then decide if they want to lease to Abraham, which should be in a CRT bike because he sucks. Pramac might be talked into fielding 2 bikes again. The question would then turn from "who is replacing Stoner?" to "who is replacing Rossi?" Do you turn to young talent? Maybe someone from WSBK? Talk Bayliss out of retirement? Talk Stoner out of retirement? The silliness is endless!!!

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

HRC is the biggest factory and provide most of the support, including engines for Moto2. Who provides the engines for Moto3?

with Honda talking in that one article about having the ability to sell more bikes outside of the 2 leases and 2 factory bikes...maybe it is possible for Rossi to have/buy a Honda team?....

Really?

Why?

Everyone I know that isn't their own boss wants to be.

Why should he be different?

Gresini doesn't want him for the same reason as they don't want Marquez, they'd have to fire half their personnel, *and* deal with all of Rossi's entourage/baggage/groupies/etc.

I cant see Rossi going for anything other than a "Factory" team, even if it means staying with Ducati.
