I agree.  What are the chances MM leaves Honda?  That would be some payroll for Ducati.

If Iannone is still around with J-Lo, I hope Iannone leaves him in the dust.

You'reghey is the wrong guy for Ducati.

He needs to be on the best bike that's all sorted out, not on a bike still being developed. He doesn't like change...he couldn't even handle the situation at COTA. He won't like the bike...Ducati will try to appease him by making changes because they won't be able to stand the whining and they'll end up without him in 2 years with a bike that still isn't sorted.

He'll do much better with Ducati than the 'golden boy' did.  ;)

That may well be.

Keep in mind Preziosi has been gone for over two years and the bike is a shit ton better.

'Golden Boy' would wipe You'reghey's ass with the bike as it is now.

I'll bet you airfence fund donations that he won't win a championship on it...ever.

I stopped rooting for Rossi 'when' he went to Ducati. Day late and a dollar short for me. I couldn't have been happier he was unsuccessful on it.

Lorenzo will beat Rossi in the first race next year.  ;)

$50 to the airfence fund if he doesn't?

You're on.

Bet the ranch -- Rossi back on the Duc in 2 years...he'll be itching to show up JLo, will never go to WSBK, and since Audi can't resist spending money they'll quickly realize JLo has no personality and that won't sell bikes, or cars. [coffee]

Rossi will never leave Yamaha again.

Considering that the Duc does perform very well in Qatar, I can definitely see this happening.

At this point I really can't get behind any of the current "aliens'.  I'd still cheer for Rossi the most except he disappointed me greatly with how he handled the end of last season. Juvenile would be kind.  He could have had the championship except he decided to dick around with Marquez instead of just racing for points and leaving it at that.  I respect Lorenzo but have no love, or anything less, for him.  Marquez is good,no doubt, but a bit of a whiny boy and worse, a liar, in my book. I've renewed respect and admiration for Pedrosa but I don't see him winning. Crutchlow will never get there so that pretty much leaves Iannone, Dovi (maybe), and Vinales.  Those are the guys I cheer for now.  Rossi too, on the off chance.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Dovi has never been in the league with the Aliens. Ducati saw possible greatness in Iannone, and he has shown some flashes of it like in PI last year. Unfortunately he has no race craft. He will need to learn in the same way that Jorghey learned on his rookie season.

Pedrosa has obviously grown on me, but he's on his last leg.

Rossi showed zero class last year and worse became a whinny baby blaming everyone else for his inability to keep the lead down the stretch. I expected that from MM, but Rossi simply went off the deep end.

I don;t have to say anything about Jorghey that I haven't said previously.

Vinales is truly my last great hope for this batch. He seems to have the likability MM showed the year he dominated, with less arrogance. I hope that it is truly the bike that is holding him back. I will love to see him throw his leg over the M1!
