Seriously sucks he won’t be factory next year!!!

Certainly isn't helping Dovi's charge to the Championship being here
again...

Or is he just that confident with the GP20 that he's waiting to the last
possible moment to throw down a couple monumental performances, take the
trophy and seal his legacy as he walks away from the sport?

Well, a boy can hope, no?

Honda took pol in because they think he’s a threat with the KTM. It’s not
because he’s a champ material. I really don’t see any other reasons. Seems
MM73 has a better record than pol.
I don’t even know if they’ll take in his input..
It’s Pedrosa who makes the KTM what it is now.

MM73 will be just fine next year on the LCR as it's gonna be a full factory bike.  It might even be better for him not being under the full factory spotlight. I know this is going way back but I remember Ben Bostrom coming alive after he was "demoted" to the L&M squad from the factory Ducati team.  And he cited that as the reason.

As to Kevin's point about MotoGP being boring with MM93's domination....well, I don't know about him but I don't think watching maybe the greatest racer of all time riding exquisitely is boring...AT ALL.

Dovi...sigh....I think he's thrown in the towel.  When Miller, Pecco, and Zarco and even Petrucci at times all have better pace than him...I think it's pretty evident.  I was hoping with MM93 gone, a fire would be lit under Dovi's butt but that doesn't appear to have happened.  He can whine about the rear tire hindering him all the wants but everybody has to deal with it.

I'm picking Mir to win the title this year.  Vinales is a mystery.  Quatararo….I said last year when everybody was jumping on his bandwagon that it was too soon, that he hasn't proven he win/podium consistently, and that has proven to the case.  Rins..I love his style, he might be an outside chance...he could reel off some consecutive victories.  I think Mir is too consistent though. He just needs to improve his qualifying and he'll be a race winner.

I agree AMaq is likely to continue to develop just fine at LCR. I am
surprised at how strong he has come on, perhaps MM was being genuine all
those years ago when he touted his brother as being the faster one. Won't
those races be interesting should it prove to be true...

Matching MM ride is glorious but it starts to become like watching a track
day rather than a race.

Dovi does appear to have unravelled his own WC dream, although he is still
the most consistent Duc rider; each of the others seems to outshine him one
at a time, then fade again.

I'm eyeballing Morbidelli for a run at the trophy, he's picked a fine time
to gain confidence and deliver results.

augh, how could I forget Franky? Yes, he's a real contender for sure.  I like the Suzuki better than the Yamaha though which I think gives Mir/Rins the edge.

Franky's ride was dominant - completely in control.  I'd LOVE for him to
win this championship, but he's going to have to go on a tear, and he's
going to need some help in either the misfortune of others, or some
regulars stepping up their game.  He's the only 2 time winner this season
right?  Craziness.

Rather than lament the MM injury, I like to think of what could have been.
This could have been an even more epic season with him, seeing him
struggle, seeing Nakagami challenge him.  Seeing the comebacks from awful
qualifying and crashes.  I'm not of the mind he would have walked away with
it at all.

I’m not too sure about this.
Did you see MM93 in his rookie year? Kicking a bunch of champions’ ass.
And.. dominated year after year since then.. even in ‘15, still 3rd..

AMaq just seems to be a slow-burn, witness his Moto2 championship effort.
Give him enough time then stand back...

Maybe.

Or maybe MM was just looking out for his future nieces and nephews' trust
funds :)
