Ok that WAS funny!!! Didn't you know. Marquez is old news.The next gun is Mavrick. The ONLY reason Marquez is winning is because he is on a Honda. No other reason. You put Mavrick on a Honda and its goodbye Marquez. Hell Marquez can't even compete with Cruchlow if his bike is not perfect. Marquez will only be with the ranks of Rainy, Lawson, Rossi and Stoner, if and only if he moves to another brand and show it was the rider and not the bike. But he will never do that. He is a Honda's F# boy.

i cant with this one had to write something else. marquez is old news. man you have a lot of problems then because the boy thats right hes still a boy is 23 and has won 3 out of 4 since he has been in GP. 5 out of 7 like i said before the percentages are insane.

could mavrick be next yes its possible. He has done 0 in 2 years. once honda fixes the rcv then what? everybody knows the yamaha was the superior machine. Marc won cause he was the best most consistent rider. end of story. what happens when honda takes over as the best bike again. oh yea we saw that in 14 what happened? 10 wins in a row and a world title.

Too early to say about Maverick. Great kid with potential but he's been on inferior machinery. Not really fair to compare him to the 4 aliens on the top manufacturers. A year from now we will know how good he really is.

I predict Marc's next move will be a jump to Ducati in a year or two. He'll be fast as .... on anything. You don't achieve those kinds of credentials in such a short time just by being on the best bike.

If Ducati were to sign Marquez, it would be all over but the crying for the rest of the competition.

I say never say never but I dont think that will happen for at least 6 years. Honda and marquez will be together for a long time is my prediction...even longer than Yamaha and Lorenzo.

Ok so we are talking with some sense now I agree maverick could be an alien but ibwill wait till I see him on the Yamaha. I don't think he had a chance on ducati or Honda for that matter.
Marc on the other hand is the only guy that can ride the ducati. The ducati will not fit lorenzo and his style. Should be interesting

Funny that you actually used "only because he is on a Honda"

. Was it intentional? Rewind a few years, and think Biaggi

I bet Lorenzo will have better results in the wet on the Ducati. That may be his only improvement next year.

I agree, let's see what Mav can do on the Yamaha and that should prove if he's a true alien. He's progressed well on the Suzuki.

And I think Marc is can ride the wheels off any bike and be competitive...

Randy Mamola's advice to Mavrick earlier this year wasn't too far off the mark, the boys at Suzuki have made huge progress on their bike. If they keep going on the same curve Yamaha might be in trouble next year.
Any way you slice it, this has been a banner year for Moto GP.

Why do you think that? Jlo's problems in the wet aren't really an issue with the bike. He's admitted himself that he lacks confidence since breaking his collar bone. It's a rider issue IMO. I can't think of any other rider on the grid that has that kind of diminishing results going from dry to wet. Is there one? On the contrary, most guys see it as an opportunity to win races!

Now you put him on a bike he's not used to after being on a Yamaha for nearly a decade? I'll eat an olive if he puts it on the podium next year. Wet or dry.

I hate olives.

Good news for the Maniac. He's gonna want nothing more than to stuff it up the inside of Dovi and Jlo next season. ....hopefully not literally, again.

Because the Ducati is easily a better wet bike and clearly shows based on its finishes in the wet. Maybe that would give Lorenzo more confidence and hence place better.
