They look so innocent, wonder how it will unfold in 2025

Ok but isn't it the best that he can't qualify? After every race i go back and run it with his fork cam. So good. Nobody is as good in traffic except maybe espargo. Just awesome as he slices and dices he way to the podium. No one has the tire management skills of Marquez. Pecco's good and thoughtful and I think pecco will help Marc with set-up and Marc will help Pecco with racecraft.
 
On any given day, Martin can be fastest, but he cant be as consistent as Pecco. Marquez is very good, but not at the same level as Martin and Pecco. Marc is just a brute on the bike, not a great sportsman or champion on equal machinery.
 
No doubt Marc is very fast/quick, but I really doubt he can be champion without crashing/eliminating Pecco and Martin. Anything can happen and Marc will definitely cause or be involved for SURE…

Yep.

- after starting mid-pack and coming through the field

- while recovering several seconds on Bagnaia and Martin

- and often beating the other two gp24’s

- on a bike that is demonstrably and irrefutably a few tenths slower

Dude’s a scrub! 😅

Oh, I forgot - while riding injured.

So even injured, he came through the field from 13th, overtaking Morbidelli and Bastianini on faster bikes, reeling in Bagnaia and Martin on faster bikes, to finish 2nd.

Martin is fast, and Bagnaia is proving himself a legitimate two time champ, but Mark is demonstrating that he’s still on another level.
 
^^^I understand this well and do not disagree. But there are no extra points awarded for plowing thru the field.

Next year the stage is set, obviously the Ducati box will have a different vibe and Pecco will be hell bent on beating Marc esp if he wins again this season. Marcs biggest opponent will once again be himself, and unfortunately that opponent tends to send him sky bound in a practice or quali. If he doesnt injure himself it will be a great season, esp if ther are some other contenders pushing hard in new seats...

Annoying thing, looks like he is struggling in right handers..... Meaning the injury is still there. I hope he recovers
