    Honestly, I couldn't tell you what he was riding in his last year. Honda satellite perhaps? If so, it's a lot closer to the proper pace now.

    I'm pretty sure he rode a Showa/Nissin equipped Honda...fairly well down the much weaker pack than runs now.

    Happy to be wrong, it's just the picture I have floating around my head.

    Ah. Yep. Pretty easy to be a bit off the pace on those puppies I guess.

    My guess is he would be 1-2 seconds of Dovi pace today on the same bike same situation which would make the Suzuki as it a top 6 place bit if kit

    A quick glance back to 2010 when he was on a decent sat bike shows this...

    Qatar...winner...Rossi. DP = 6th some 9.3 seconds back. So nah mate...was never really 1-2 secs per lap off the pace on decent equipment.

    Sure is, and that is another reason why I would go with Dovi, he starts and finishes races. Even if he has to push his own team mate of track haha re Nikky H.

    Suzuki should sign Dovi and Jack Miller. And old hand and a new hot head animal.

    I AGREE 100% man, I cannot honestly believe Miller has not announced a new big contract as yet, he sure has that special bit of Australian racer in him= and that would be brilliant management work By Suzuki I say
