    For me it changes race to race, I hate to see anyone dominating. I always like to see the brits do well but can't see any of them being up front race after race. Hopefully one of them will prove me wrong.
    Last season at Mugello I hoped Lorenzo would beat Rossi (he did) because the crowd were such an unsporting lot, the following race I was hoping Rossi beat Lorenzo.
    So for me, as long as it's a good race, I'll cheer for anybody.

    Always willing Rossi on but money is on Vinales to win it.
    George might be out the box good but reckon it just doesnt suit his style and will struggle.
    Other unknown for me is Ianonne on the Suzuki, will be good to see how this partnership develops. Gonna go for bust up and a mutual split between team and rider or wins the title :D:D

    Marc Marquez - for the title.

    • I hope Valentino does well, but not expecting him to win the title.
    • Maverick Vinales - as a test for Marquez, but have no connection with him as a rider
    • Lorenzo - nothing against him really - I hope Casey Stoner has taught him how to ride the Ducati by the time racing starts :D
    • Crutchlow - big smiles when he makes it on to the podium
    • The Brits - Sam Lowes, Bradley Smith
    • Anyone riding a Suzuki !
    • Dani Pedrosa - will come last :D
    But as mentioned previously - individual races can vary, depending on the circumstances of the race.

    Should be good.

    Rossi fan !!
    He's crowd pleaser, happy when he wins, still smiles and a wave for the fans when not, unlike Lorenzo !!

    And all the money his got and his age, but does it for the love of the sport !!

    Top man.

    pretty much agree with this.

    Marquez, VR, maybe Dani - then the rest as above

    Marquez for me, great rider who is exciting to watch and I quite like his public personality. The best rider at the moment IMO.

    I used to be a Rossi fan but not any more, still a great rider but not the best and has not been for several years IMO.

    I would like to see Lorenzo do well, but not sure he will as Ducatis require a certain type of rider.

    Vinales will do well I think and may prove the biggest challenge to Marquez.

    As for Pedrosa, another year as an also ran I reckon.

    Viñales for me. From what I've seen he seems like a really nice lad and I think he'll be very tough to beat. He's got the bike to do it.

    I love watching Lorenzo ride but if there's a way to f*ck up his PR you can be pretty much sure he'll find a way. I feel sorry for him sometimes. His riding style seems to only suit being in clear air. All about corner speed which doesn't work when there are people around him. If he gets away he's nigh on impossible to beat but if he gets mired in the first couple of laps he just drops down the field.

    Always been a Rossi fan and nothing much will change that but I don't think he's got it in him to win the title anymore. He's too old and too scared of hurting himself and I don't blame him at all.

    Would love Dani to do well but he'll probably do his usual and have two races where he blitzes everyone else and leave you scratching your head and wondering why he can't do it consistently.

    Crutchlow seems to be on a bit of a roll and I reckon he might pick up another win somewhere along the line.

    I reckon Iannone will be the surprise of the season.

    Marquez just leaves me cold. No idea why. It'd be hard to bet against him but I think he might come second best to Viñales.

    It's weird that; same for me. Seems nice enough though.
    Hoping Viñales will really shake things up and be the one to stop another MM93 title.
