MotoGp - who are you backing this season ?
« on: February 18, 2013, 12:34:29 AM »
Now that Casey has left motogp , who are you backing this season ?
Due to an excessive work load, i have no idea about the movements in the off season.
I  hope Westy has a ride this season & he's got some half decent kit at last !

I am not exactly backing anyone, but Lorenzo will be hard to beat over the season as he is fast and consistent.  Pedroso will take some wins, but I do hope he will keep it going for every race.  Rossi will be there I think, but unknown whether he is still up to his best.  Best case scenario would be all three taking points off each other all season, with a close finish.

There are a a few I've been following for a while.

In MotoGP I tend to follow the Honda riders so this year: Pedrosa, Marquez, Bautista, Bradl and Aussie Bryan Staring.

In Moto2 I've followed Ant West, Pol Espargaro, Thomas Luthi, Scott Redding.

In Moto3 I like Jack Miller and Arthur Sissis of course.

Redbull Rookies: Young Olly Simpson, this kid is very confident and very talented. He was interviewed with Mick Doohan at Phillip Island last year and when asked did he want to be the next Mick Doohan he said 'No I want to be the next Olly Simpson'. Needless to say Mick was impressed by the young fellas ambition and reckoned he'd go far.

Hi craig , i did catch last year's australian gp on the goggle box (not from the doohan pavilion as planned - don't ask  :-[ ) and was highly impressed by Jack Miller and Arthur Sissis.
I don't know what rides or classes that they or westy are riding in this year but hope they do well. The olly simpson interview was a gem - the kids got the Chutzpah & talent to go far. I found Maverick Vinales hugely entertaining last season with moto2 & moto3 just essential viewing. As far as the main game goes, go honda but pedrosa has always :cuss me off
