    MotoGP 2016

    Well after the bullshit circus MotoGP 2015 turned into I'm 100% behind Pedrossa, Dovizioso and Iannone for 2016.

    Good to see they're going to the Red Bull Ring too. Bring on next years racing.

    That's fair, the 2016 season starts tonight our time. Shame my video sub has expired.

    Can't wait for the new season. One thing we can appreciate about living in the Southern Hemisphere is while MotoGP is away it's our summer. All the Northern types will be going through winter and have little to moan about on the internetz.

    Riders I'll be following next year will be Vinales, Rossi, Pedrosa and Ianonne.

    I'm guessing the shit will hit the fan from round 1. Kinda like to see Pedro win one before he retires.

    Also, here's hoping the Suzuki gets the seamless gearbox and a few more noodles out of the IL4.... 'cause it's a great package already

    Yup my predictions for 2016 will hopefully come true! Dani Champion before he maybe loses his seat to Miller.

    Riders I am backing wont really change:
    Dani Pedrosa
    Jack Miller - Is he on a "Factory" Satellite next year? If so he will have a podium by years end
    Aleix Espagaro

    Other rider to watch will be Dovi and I think with great rear grip he will destroy his foes. Tito Rabat will do well too I think given the chance to put in lots of laps, definite top 10 finishes for him. And of course Maverick, he's shown glimpses of brilliance through out the year, very talented pair those two Suzuki boys.

    All this depends on how the bikes work on the new rubber, Ducati should love it. I will watch the test results with great interest.

    I'll stay on the Pedro, Iannone bandwagon.

    Those Suzis should start making people honest too. Vinales for a podium?

    Iannone and Vinales are on my watchlist.

    If the Suzuki can find a bit more power it should be very competitive.

    MM will most likely be 2016 champion though

    This might be a better place to ask, when's the best time to buy the videopass for the 2016 season?
    Can I scream?

    Add Redding to ya list of riders to watch. A comfortable Redding is a fast Redding

    Always liked Redding but he's just too big for the Honda's and his riding style doesn't suit them. It's a shame he didn't get a Ducati to start with.

    He had the offer and I think he has stated he regrets turning it down.

    Shame he grew so big, to think he is the youngest ever rider to win a GP shows the talent he had when he was a young midget.
