Other riders be afraid.... Moreso.

There were some here that didn't think Crutchlow was worth his ride. He had been a world champion, in what is arguably one of the toughest classes,* but apparently some of us have exceptionally high standards.
As for Smith, his 125 stats include winning the last three races and finishing second overall in the Spanish Championship before he moved to GPs.
A "regular frontrunner" in the 125 class: 4 fastest laps, 9 poles, 20 podiums and three wins. People are going to notice figures like that.
He had a very quiet year last year but the consensus seemed to be that the bike wasn't up to it.
This year his job is probably to learn the new tracks, learn the brakes, learn the electronics, and hopefully not crash too often. The GP bikes are a very different proposition to the Moto2 bikes and there is a lot to learn. Rea's comments on riding the Repsol bike after a Superbike were interesting.
Marquez isn't having much trouble adjusting but then he's not normal, he is special. The CotA favours the Honda to a greater degree than any of the other tracks so it might be a mistake to extrapolate this morning's results to the rest of the season. Still, that probably won't be the only win MM gets this year.
Hopefully Jerez will be less like a procession. Bring it on.

Unlike MotoGP where barring incidents there are just four guys capable of winning, in both WSS and Moto2 there are many riders capable of competing at the front.

Smith's gone DNF-12th so far.Originally Posted by Mental Trousers
Crutchlow went 11th-8th-8th-DNF-7th, ahead of other prototypes too I might add.
Never, never give in.
I was very pleased Gazza that I forked out the Euro and the other costs to set up my PC to the Panasonic Vierra to see the wokmanlike manner that MM went about planting himself firmly on the MotoGP spectrum. When you get to see it I'm sure you'll be impressed too
It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
Never, never give in.
Give Smith a break....................
It's a work in progress and the time frame for that work is for the entire 2013 season.
When it's finished, judge him.

Only so I didn't have egg on face. Was pretty sure he'd done better! I'll bet you a carton of Steinies (as in 2doz), Smith can't make it into the top five all season. You can add 'em to the ones OAB will be sending me...

How was that for a guess. Thanks TAB! :-)

Its because we have so many brains that it competes with hair and the brains win. Its a bugger though going to get a haircut and they first charge you a search fee!

A top 5 in any race this season?? You're on.Only so I didn't have egg on face. Was pretty sure he'd done better! I'll bet you a carton of Steinies (as in 2doz), Smith can't make it into the top five all season. You can add 'em to the ones OAB will be sending me...
Top 4 for the year will be Marquez, Lorenzo, Pedrossa and Rossi with Crutchlow in fifth. Only way that's not going to happen is if one of them gets smashed up in an accident. There's no odds there.
