    Yeah I already knew he was something great. Was a fan when he first started on the RC211V with LCR. But then I saw more interviews etc where he opened his mouth and I went from a fan to just admiring his skill and ability.

    lol. I'm thinking MM may be the next Stoner bike wise at least.

    He's going to be the next Rossi I think. That kid will be the greatest thing in motorcycling over the next couple of years. I reckon those two will end up in a battle for the fans with the battle for the championship being a poor second. Jorje, Dani and everyone else are going to find it difficult to be mentioned.

    Still don't like the little bugger though.

    Me neither. But I don't give a shit what they're like as a person as long as they're awesome to watch on a bike. And I reckon he's gonna light the championship up.

    "Already, some of the riders, including Valentino Rossi (now on a Yamaha) are claiming that Marquez rides too aggressively."

    VR will never miss a chance to get into the brain of those he sees as his opponent.

    Doubt those mind games will work on MM. He's shown that he doesn't know when ludicrous speed is inappropriate. He gets on a bike and goes fast as he can no matter what the situation. You can't psych out someone who only has one speed.

    I agree. He looks like a man that doesn't give a flying fuck to me.

    Agree. They made him start behind everyone as punishment for dodgy passing. Did that affect his confidence? Nah, not for a heartbeat. The passes he made to get to the front were a joy to behold. He has got the right mindset alright. Just needs some small adjustments.

    Rossi said the same thing about Simoncelli. Look how that turned out.

    Whilst Simo was a wild man..his death could've happened to anyone as it was purely a freak thing.

    If you're saying what I think you're saying - it's a bit off, to say the least. And as Pete said, that was an accident and could happen to anyone pushing the envelope on a MotoGP bike.
