With Rainey v. Schwantz, it was anything but "just racing"...

I think Honda would be nuts to put Casey on a race bike late in the season....it will be after (nearly) a year of his not having competitively ridden or raced a GP motorcycle - he'll be a safety hazard....

Unfortunately I have to say this, but anyone on a Ducati is a safety hazard right now.

What do you think he does between posting 45,000+ times to this board?

Yes, he's going to try to win.  You think he's just going to cruise around in the middle of the pack waving at the spectators?

I'm not completely on board with his "Rossi has a one-in-four chance at the title".
Less favorable odds than that I'm afraid.

The situation I think Rossi will be faced with is spending quite a bit of time dicing with Marquez.
That's a hazardous proposition.

TRUE....unless Marquez clears past Rossi and continues to torpedo Jorge and Dani which leaves Rossi with a season to win a championship like Hayden in 2006 where consistanly finishing at or near the top for the points wins him the title.

Even with Marquez in the mix, possibly torpedoing Pedrosa or Lorenzo....

beating Lorenzo on consistency is a big ask.
