I said top5, mainly because the competition will be worse - no stoner, no dovi on a yamaha, etc etc.

Yep, it appears that JLo and Pedrobot are his only real competition. The Ducatis will suck, the satellites will be just a tad slower than the factory bikes, and Marquez is a rookie. He'll probably get a podium, but one of the satellites may squeeze by...maybe.

Then he'll be the satellite squeezing by.  Grin

I forgot about him. I honestly didn't expect much from him this year, but he's looked good so far.  waytogo

Marquez will torpedo Rossi in one of his overzealous overtaking manuevers thus taking both of them out!

And Lorenzo will give him a huge hug for it.

I can see Mork MarBrian W getting away with his douchey strafing pass move once...maybe twice before he finds himself spitting out gravel and maybe a few teeth because he pulled it on someone in MotoGP. Of course...it would bring a little more entertainment to the class...

I'm actually beginning to think that the more interesting speculation will be which will be the best ducati rider this upcoming year.  Got a range of choices there from fiery rookie with Ianonne, talented up and comer with Spies, veteran rider with Dovi, and wildcard with Redding.

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.
