I doubt Maverick would go from Suzuki to Ducati. I would assume that HRC or Yamaha would be more likely if he gets closer to the pointy end this season. I can see HRC dropping Pedrosa for Vinales next year. Yamaha still has the pending "will Rossi retire" question looming. I see Redding replacing Dovi if he does well on the Duc and if Stoner can't be convinced to unretire. What I don't foresee is Dovi on any factory bike.
Not even Dovi on the KTM? And I can't see Honda dropping Pedrosa yet... he's still a alien who, barring injury, will place top 3/4 every race. Maybe he wont win the races but he'll def be up there. Can't see Rossi leaving MotoGP yet... I'm guessing at least one more 2 yr contract. |

Right now I'm seeing a complete total Jorghey domination of this season, with him only struggling in the early (newer) tracks and of course rain. I think he's more motivated to destroy the rest of the field to prove to Yamaha that maybe it's time to get rid of Rossi. I doubt it will work considering that Rossi can sell bikes and merchandise even if he's riding a bicycle instead of a motorcycle, but unfortunately for us all, I foresee a lot of boring races.

Boring races? I bet you not.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

If Jorghey is checking out every other race, I doubt the other guys will be banging fairings for second place. The guy has been destroying everyone else, generally by 0.500th of a second. It's not even close. My only hope now is that the others have been sandbaggin.

The only thing in this article that gives me hope is the comment about the electronics not handling all the scenarios as the race goes on. The only issue with that is that Lorenzo did prove that he could manage it! Taking everything else into consideration, it sounds like he's the most ahead when it comes to understanding how the bike will perform in the latter laps, which is my concern. |

He obviously missed the years of Biaggi vs Rossi |

The real advantage to MotoGP between Michelin and Bridgestone is distance to Dorna. With most races taking place in Europe, they don't have to worry about shipping costs. Michelin still has some reliability stigma from their last hurrah in MotoGP. |
