Yeah will be good if we have a new champ like Dovi.
Well love him or hate him, MM is still damn fast (probably still the fastest) and tough to beat! I would not bet against him for this years title. He would have still retained his lead if not for the blow out.

Hmm tires also play a very important role on how each race goes and that has been very unpredictable too. But for the Honda, it seems to suite MM the best still, which is the correct way IMHO. If Honda do take the strategy that you said, I think that's a big mistake and Honda should just focus on him coz he is their best chance to win. But I'm glad if Honda screws up MM once a while so that we can have a more interesting season! 
Well that is surely part of what has made him a 3 time champ at his very young age.

Yeah bad news   , he would miss at least 2 upcoming races, maybe even 3 coz the doctor said will take about 30-40 days to recover.

So realistically 'only' a 3 horse race now.

the same broken leg previously...

age really does take its toll on him

more likely he asked for it. 

btw, rossi will not race this weekend & no replacement according to yamaha.

VR seems to be such a thrill/speed junkie that he just cannot stay away from such activities, unfortunately often injuring him.

    Poor Crashlow!   

So for this weekend Misano race, I wish the result will be:
MV
MM
DP
Dovi

Motogp riders complaining high downforce of F1 cars causing the track to become bumpy. So fellow lyn races, F1 or Motogp you choose if both can't coexists? Haha

If want to bring in DP back into the mix then the top 3 (Dovi, MM & MV) needs to crash into each other while DP wins! 
They share 5 tracks now which will be 4 in the future:
Austin
Barcelona
Austria
Silverstone
Sepang

Which ones are they complaining as bumpy btw? I assume it's Silverstone coz that's when F1 goes first not long before MotoGP, hence no time to fix the bumps.
Both surely can coexist as there are plenty other tracks available. Schedule also can be adjusted so MotoGP can race first before F1 comes.

If I were really to choose?? Tough one, maybe F1 coz I love cars more than bikes and I can relate to driving but not riding. I also started to follow motorsports from F1 during the Senna era when I started driving and got in awe of how difficult to drive so fast in such precision with the wheels just brushing the barriers on street tracks like Monaco. But yeah I have the absolute awe at those MotoGP racers, they're truly the ultimate maniacs thrill seekers speed demon! Anyway we will never be faced in such tough situation to choose so good for us! 

I do wonder, when VR retire, who will they support..
if based on rider personality, i guess MM the nearest to VR.. hmm..

Italian crowd confirm won't support MM that much, or maybe not at all. Lol. Most likely will shift their support to AD.

Could have been marco simoncelli if not 4 the fatal crash in sepang The guy just spread his wings and boom no more

Yeah most likely they will support Dovi after VR, especially if Dovi can win this year's title or at least stay as competitive like now for more years to come.
Actually Marco was inconsistent, sometimes fast but often crashed too, and IMO he's quite a dirty rider who was prepared to endangere other riders unfairly with his moves, hence I'm not a fan of his.

Safe to say now DP is out of contention already, coz too far back from the top 3. Very surprised that he was so bad in this race, hence still not even overtaken VR in the standing.

Yeah that's the thing with DP, can be very fast on occasions but also very bad in others, hence never world champ material. Any other Honda riders from lower classes which look decent? I haven't been paying attention to those other classes anymore, except for yesterday when Morbidelli crashed hence Luthi now got close in the standing.

Naah, not gonna happen. It will be good already if he can steal just a win or two after come back. He will be the key for Yamaha to regain the constructor lead though.

he is near 40... that ruthlessness & ferocity fading away. 

sometimes, we can see glimpse of his pasts when he is pushing for the win.

more like he still race for fun & to entertain his loyal fans.
