Hmmm, Don't care for him but really, really respect what he does. Right now he's the apex pilot & a couple standard deviations better than anyone else. The only wild card, a very long shot, is MM's been chastened due to his injury + the attendant froth. Doesn't seem likely. How quickly he gets up to speed is an open question but he'll still be top ten for the first 2 or 3 contests, worst case scenario. The real irony is that a # of these guys have tasted the podium so it'll be cutthroat amongst the wanna-bes which 'll only abet Marquis Marque. I don't know where to check but I'd guess the gambling odds show him as the favorite to win the Title in '21. IF one or two make a big leap, cutting the chasm in 1/2 say, and good fortune is in their corner (Zarc???) then keeping it close allows for an anything goes final 2 or 3 races. Otherwise, absent a big crash or malevolence, nobody's gonna lay a glove on the Spaniard. Phil/NJ Sent from my iPhone

He said ‘don’t care for him’ LOL We all know MM93 is the best rider right now. (When he’s riding) We’ve seen what he can do what he’s done; spanked all of them. I just hope he’s fully fit and won’t crash and aggravate his injury.
