Yeah, he has a good chance. Besides Pedrosa, I'd like to see an Italian(or any other nationality) besides Spain win

I want a new italian 2 win this year since VR already passing his torch 2 another italian last year or was it 2015 ducati won their first race ever

That will be a decade after stoner pwnd the entire field and still the only rider that can tame the ducs 2 the maximum

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.

The Honda has not been outright strong this year. Favours different rider on different tracks from what I observe. I guess they are trying to make the Honda suit a variety of riders rather being rider specific. This has been hinted by Crutchlow a few times. They probably want it to be like the Yamaha, rider friendly ie any rider be comfortable and fast on it. Problem is they have too many Honda bikes on the grid,too much variety. The 2017 Yamaha also having identity crisis unlike the 2016 chasis.

truly..
he f'king aggresive liao on the last sector fight wit dovi in GP austria..
selamat xberlaga...

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.

No doubt about his talent but I think Honda was thinking of 'post-marquez' Other riders coming seems to be unable to cope with the Honda. This could be a problem in manufacturer championship, I think they would want other Hondas to be consistently on the podium along with marquez. And if Marquez suddenly feels like he wants to prove himself with another manufacturer, honda will be in big trouble.

looks like rossi injured in enduro training..

Haha not again

Fractured leg. Gone la gonna miss races like this

i dun understand why u need to risk urself like that in the middle of the season...especially crucial time where only 6 races left.

Confirm gone the championship for him but then again,anything can happen

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.

He is even missing the Italian F1 race lol

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.

Cal Crutchlow also cut his fingers with a knife

Life of a real racer

Poor Crashlow!
