Cant wait for the season to start. The ones for the crown will be between Lorenzo and Casey according to me

Rossi, Ben, Pedrosa, Dovi will be haunting the above two for the points.. Not sure what Rossi has in mind, after all nothing is accidental with rossi.. everything has a master plan behind it! I seriously believe his place at the testing was not incidental!

so who is gonna be this season?

You can safely rule out Andrea from the list.
He is not in the A+ list as per me.

but last season he was not bad ain't it?

BTW is it only me or anyone else hates rossi's leathers?

[Ricci]

I don;t this new gear either, but then, it's trivial what it looks like.

Dovi has been in great form last season, only problem for him was that he has 4 riders ahead of him most of the time - Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner & Dani. Take them 4 out and Andrea would dominate the rest.

Are you even remotely serious Ricci? Dovi was showed multiple times who is the boss by Spies and to some extent by Simoncelli.

Spies ruined his party in Aragon and Valencia. How? He outbraked a factory rider.

Hope his leathers bring him some luck.

[razorBlades]

but sheel dovi's sheet says 3 times 2place, 4 times 3rd place a total of 7 podiums is better than ben who has just 2 podiums in 2010!

not sure why you have dovi so much

[sheelpriye]

I supported Dovi through out in his 250 days on a Honda as I felt he was on a under powered Motorcycle wrt to J Lo, but it isn't.

Ben was offered a factory ride and Dovi had to keep clinged to his factory ride, that says it all.

Actually Sarath Kumar is the Kind of Guy that needs support from guys like Mahindra. and if they have any doubts, they can pair him with an International rider with more experience on foreign tracks, and the knowledge that they can share will benefit both as a team, and to Mahindra as a racing team
