I wouldn't mind seeing GP bikes back in Donnington, but more likely Silverstone Sad

The Goat said in an interview about his future that if he is still competitive he will continue to race. I think he should continue..

Here's a question. How was the last racer in his 40's in the premier class? VR could easily go a few more years if he has the motivation.

He's the 9th oldest as of now.

Cheers.
He should overtake Troy and be the oldest winner in the modern era at least. Not sure if he will go to 44. Thats another 6 years which would be gruelling, but having said that he is the Peter Pan of Moto GP.

I think you might be confusing it with Suzuka.

I didn't realise that Dovi was that muscular. It might explain why he can muscle the Duck around, or he got that way from doing it all these years. He is probably the hardest at late braking on the grid. A racing mentor told a me strong upper body gave a great advantage in hard braking (for obvious reasons).

Dovi is 5th on my super scientific (laughingdp) weight/height list, behind Petrucci, Redding, Baz, and Crutchlow.

Said list seems a bit dodgy as it's got Rossi stockier than Marquez.
And there's pictures showing that to be highly unlikely.

MotoGP.com rider stats may not be the most reliable.
