Jeremy should get back on a 250. The 500 (or new four-stroke) is just too much for a man of his years. On a 250, he'll consistently be able to stick it to all the hotshots.

My hope is that Jurgen finally gets the bike that will deliver him the results his talents deserve. I've been a fan of his ever since his Muz days.
Hard to predict how the season will turn out, whether it's the same excitement we've had the past few years, or the new rules create a big difference. |

MotoGP: Perhaps Rossi, but Biaggi will definetely be strong again this year. Personal favourite would have to be Barros (but I know it won't happen)
250cc: Loca!!!! 125: Battle between Ui and Poggiali yet again |

Capirossi's my pick. I think the big 4strokes(the RC211V in particular) will have a very difficult time finishing races with the original tires. Bringing horsepower to parity with the 500's can only be an advantage for the lighter, nimbler 2 strokes.
On a side note, i've noticed that Yamaha repeatedly has said the M1 has the same peak power as the YZR-500, yet Honda's men say the RC211V has a great horsepower advantage over it's NSR500....maybe Yamaha has toned down the M1's tire-shredding tendencies? |

so far all bikes have been tested at full race distance and tyre degridation is fine ! so 4's will really be beating the 500s unless they have reliability probs
