    A Marquez Vinales battle would be pretty compelling. The aliens have been uprooted.

    Re: Moto GP 2017

    Can we get an informal bet going? Like we all meet up at last race and winner gets their dinner paid for or something silly?

    Marquez or Vinales is the safe bet, I'll take Rossi just because I like to live dangerously.

    ... or maybe this is the year they all beat each other up and Pedrosa finally gets a title. He's always lurking in the background.

    Honestly...I think the tech of the new bikes and the riding style required to ride them fast is never going to jive with his small stature on a consistent enough basis for him to win the championship. He has the skills for sure, but genetics can be a bitch some times.

    I'm game. I don't know to to organize anything betting though. Maybe we all pick 1,2,3 for the season? Or just winner?

    Have also had no luck watching any testing. WTF MotoGP?? Putting that aside, I'm really excited about another season where there are many contenders to break up the Yamaha/Honda hegemony.

    Sure, anytime up until rd 1 start of race. Gardner after WVRC sounds perfect, Ale House?

    Folger is impressing again. Knocking on the door of 28s.

    Mix it up! Nothing is actually on the line...but if I'm right I'm going to hold it over everyone forever. Let's go Cal!

    I want to see more testing, but if I had to commit right now it would be:
    1. Marquez
    2. Vinales
    3. Lorenzo

    BTW Folger REALLY impressed, and Rins came out of nowhere to P6!

    I'm just a Rossi fan, that's why I went with him. I do think your list is how it'll actually end except swap Rossi for Lorenzo. I think the Ducati will give him some trouble at a few tracks. Folger is demanding respect, unreal stuff.

    Nobody willing to pick Lorenzo? It could happen, Ducati is all in.

    Since I like Iannone and I now have a 100 to bring to WVRC, I'll switch it up and go with:
    1. Iannone
    2. Marquez
    3. Vinales

    Interesting, PhilB is the only one so far who's left Marquez off the championship podium.
