Hideous colour scheme. Think he will struggle this season.
Cant wait for the season to start though. Should be great

He's taken Jerry Burgess and the rest of the team with him; it'll be interesting to say the least. He doesn't have to settle into a new team, just a new bike so I think it may work well.
I think this will also be his swansong; finish his career on an Italian bike

He was quite a bit younger back then, and i dont think he had anywhere near the same level of competiton.

I'm rating Spies; not for the title this year but some good racing.
I still think Rossi will want to come out of the box fighting. Pedrosa has to prove himself this year IMO; he's a good rider but needs consistancy.
I think it'll be Lorenzo's year again

Stoner will win this year imo. Should be some excellent racing this year though. Will definitely be some hard passes between Rossi and Lorenzo!
I do agree that it will be difficult for Rossi to win this year due to four other riders that are arguably as fast. But he isn't called the GOAT for no reason either! I'm sure he'll be at the front each race!
On a side note, anyone follow WSB and BSB? Last season for both championships was amazing. Should be even more intense this year too!

Yeah shame ducati have left WSB for this year. But with Kawasaki bringing out the new ZX10, hopefully Sykesy will be up the front. Did you see him towards the end of last season, amazing riding on that bike. Will be interesting to see how haslam and toseland do on the Beemer. And laverty has been blistering already on the Yam, one to watch imo.
Will be great to see another british rider in Motogp as well, though i cant see Cal doing much.
