A Marquez Vinales battle would be pretty compelling. The aliens have been uprooted.
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. ;)
PhilB
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.Quote:

Let's do top 3 - I'll list each person's picks in this post and just edit it as people join. We'll choose a convenient place for everyone for last round and party on.
I'll start -
cdovego - 1. Rossi 2. Marquez 3. Vinales
pittenger5 - 1. Vinales 2. Rossi 3. Marquez
Jay - 1. Marquez 2. Vinales 3. Crutchlow
PhilB - 1. Pedrosa 2. Rossi 3. Lorenzo
Paul_E_D - 1. Marquez 2. Vinales 3. Lorenzo
gixxer72 - 1. Vinales 2. Marquez 3. Iannone
pinned - 1. Iannone 2. Marquez 3. Vinales
We have until testing is over to pick though?
And I vote for dinner in Gardner after a day of flat track!
Sure, anytime up until rd 1 start of race. Gardner after WVRC sounds perfect, Ale House?Quote:

Im out for dinner though.
Folger is impressing again. Knocking on the door of 28s.
cdovego - 1. Rossi 2. Marquez 3. Vinales
pittenger5 1. Vinales 2. Rossi 3. Marquez
Jay: 1: Marquez 2: Vinales 3: Crutchlow
Want to at least keep it interesting....
OK: - 1. Pedrosa 2. Rossi 3. Lorenzo
Year of the Bridesmaids.
:D
PhilB
I would play but Dove already picked my trifecta
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

1. Vinales 2. Marquez 3. Iannone
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.
