I am a Marquez fan.

He's always smiling. He's always on the limit. He's always on the podium. He's always fighting for victory. He's always rubbing elbows. His highlight reel is unprecedented and he's on track to shatter record after record.

He purposefully changed his entire approach to racing after the 2015 season and systematically dismantled the efforts of Yamaha this year. He's turned the Rossi mind games right back around on "The Doctor" who is now fighting for podiums in the same way he is fighting to maintain the spotlight.

I re-watched the Motegi round last night and that was enough for me. As a fan, Rossi let me down last year, not by losing the championship but by the way he handled the loss. Marc kept his mouth shut through it all, came back this year and made him eat his shoe. He's the ....... man.

I can't wait for 2017 - so many exciting story lines with Jlo and Vinales in particular. I suspect Marc takes his sixth title next year and puts Rossi into sour retirement.

Here's to the current champion and future of MotoGP.

I watch racing to enjoy all the aspects, and I think those riders in the top are all worthy of our respect, but yeah, Marquez has the personality to be the hero of the sport for sure.
It is interesting to watch all of these riders from years ago and see more or less the same aggression, crashes, close calls and victories. Funny how some riders never pickup the negativity of others when many of the crashes are the same. Lorenzo, Rossi, Marquez, Simoncelli, (one of my heroes, will be missed) Hayden, Stoner, etc..
Lorenzo / Biaggi / Capirossi, are some how the villain, and Rossi / Marquez / Vinales look like heroes. I think all these guys rule!

Mark is one of my favorites on this forum. The banter he stirs is brilliant. I don't share the same level of distaste for Rossi but I do love his!

I've also been around for a lot longer than my username would suggest...my old username profile was having issues a while back and so I eventually just made a new account. Either way, I don't post much.
