Honestly this is a tough one. Who will gel with the tires? Which team will master the ecu? Which rider can best ride around all the potential problems? Will Suzuki put some guts in that bike? I'm going with: 1. Marquez champion. Because he will push and find the edge soonest. 2015 was his actual rookie season. 2. Pedrosa second. Because that's his role. 3. Maverick third. Because I Believe. Jack Miller though. Could shake things up this time around.
I don't know. With motomatters talking about Honder going wrong again with their engine and the new tires and electronics I'm going with one of the Yamahas. Which, ask me after the first test when we see what Jesus and the Whore look like. I'll say this, Stoner will get a win this year.
- It will still be 2015 to the uccio. Every conversation will eventually turn into Marquez and Lorenzo conspiring to steal Rossi's god-given 10th championship. - The Internet will kick Dani Pedrosa out of MotoGP again. - The races will be fantastic. But nobody will care because it will be mostly Spaniards on top of the box.
The 2016 Yamaha was introduced earlier today and HOLY SH@T. . . it looks almost exactly the same except for Michelin stickers. It'll be interesting to read what changes were made (if any) like location of the fuel tank, frame or what.
I read somewhere that the tank will be filled from the tail. Not sure if that is what you are referring to or not.
I see much anger in the top riders. Rossi feels he was robbed by the system, Marquez sees Rossi as a dirty rider who is allowed a pass, Lorenzo sees nothing but disrespect despite his undeniable results. It could well result in the perfect storm that sees Pedrosa finally bring home that championship that Honda has so long hoped (and expected) of him. And no, Suzuki won't do squat... again.
Part of me would live to see Rossi fighting for the championship again but without having to resort to the playground tactics he demonstrated last year but I'm going to go with Pedrosa as I would love to see him get his first this year. Probably dreaming on both fronts but oh well. I know that the racing will be freaking awesome either way.
Jack Miller doesn't do shit and Tito shows him how it's done. I'm hoping the tires shake it all up this year and Rossi, MarkassMarquez, and Lorenzo all suck. I'd like to see anyone but those 3 win.
