Dovi. With VR out he's the man, a good guy that I'm really hoping wins the WC this season. Rides the wheels off that Duck. ( There... I said it - I feel kinda dirty not rooting for my beloved Yamaha, but just not feeling Mav... )
I've never really been a Rossi fanboy. I've really come around to Pedrosa, just wish he was on something other than a Honder.
I've always like Dovi and pulled for him, even after he left the promised land and went to the stupid people he's with now.
In the absence of Rossi I am still a fan of the racing. Just like I was when Kevin Schwantz retired... I hate to see anyone hurt and wish Rossi was competing but all of the sad eyed putas trying to put on their brave faces does add a certain amount of joy to my weekend.
So...separately, can Pedro win this year? Man I would love that for him. Especially because he doesn't feel he needs it.
Zarco makes me smile. I wish A. Asparagus was on a better bike. Petrucci has become the new Iannone. Iannone makes me allergic to dairy products. And in 5 years we will be adding MM93 to the GOAT discussion.
Dovi...hands down. I think he's under-rated, and this year he's doing a spectacular job on the Duc. It would be so sweet for him to win the Championship after Ducati thought they had to bring in Lorenzo to be their #1 rider. I've always kind of thought he wasn't given enough credit even at Honda.
I'm not really a Marquez fan. But I must say at this point in time, right now, he's one of the best motorcycle racers to have lived.
As much as I'd like to see AD win the championship, I'm expecting yet another MM year. I think it was Schwantz who said, "Marquez is just toying with everyone."
