    Yup, and look at the KTM designed by Dani, heaps of front end just waiting to be abused by a Binder. If they've taken away the front to give the rear more then Marc might end up binning it more maybe? Esepcially if he can't feel the front. Either way I feel this isn't his year and that perhaps we've seen the end of his years in full dominance?

    Looking at those odds its worth a flutter on Fraco, Mir and Rins this early in the season as they're all in with a chance at the title.

    I have no doubt he wont be able to dominate again, but I wouldnt discount him being faster.. if not the fastest.. on raceday

    8 Doocatis !!! they'll have to manage the points carefully or it could backfire on them?

    Go the Yamahas ! (tho I'd put money on Dovi struggling with all the new young talent.)

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Be interestin to see how fast the VR46 bikes are.

    From my spectators perspective, MM will have to ride the wheels off this season. Most excellent.

    The talent pool is just getting deeper.

    Cue another era of MM total dominance and naval gazing as we wondered how we ever thought it could be different.

    I'm not looking at ships and can't see my belly button, so I don't know what to do now.

    You're right though.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    My feelings are that yes, MM is finding this new bike a large change, but looking at other Honda riders results with it thus far, it is a better bike. Once MM learns to exploit these improvements, watch out!

    That may be a good prediction, I wouldn't bet against it. Rather than an MM procession I'd like to see a tight championship race to stop us all dropping off to sleep.

    tight would be good, its usually a good precept to live by.

    Sexually perhaps. Monetarily, rather less so?

    I kinda think its Peccos turn from stunning form last year. But I don't want it to be a doookati lockout. And of course I'm a Yamaha fan. But I hope KTM return to form. And it seems unfair to Suzuki, but it gets my mate wracked up if they dont win, so sorry boys in blue, it's worth the amusement at your expense.

    Pecco vs. MM was just getting started late last season. It would be fun to watch for the whole year.

    The testing doesn't mean much. Sepang is unlike any other track and hopefully they will have cleaned the track surface at Mandalika before P1.

    I thought the issue there was that there were chunks of stone coming out of the track, and they have to resurface it?
