Biggest question mark is when Marquez will be fit enough. Dovi has put his hand up to stand up for him if need be

The word on the street from someone that I know is that he hasn't been on a motocross bike at all. Normally he would be out most days at this time of year with his brother riding something, and I wonder if we will see him out on a GP bike at all this year !
It will be a shame but he won't be the first top rider to retire from racing with serious injuries and to be quite honest I am surprised that he has managed to get away with less in his career, considering the amount of times he has crashed when pushing the limit in practice and qualifying ! However I don't think that we will see another rider that can pull off those amazing low side "saves" that kept us on the edge of the sofa

Marc is in the Australian Vocabulary - rooted. Sorry dude, thanks for coming, enjoy your hard earned retirement.

Just a shame that Jack Miller doesn't have the whiff of Doohan about him.

Not that I am in any way biased.

I like jack, especially after he was the only one that wanted to race on slicks when it was raining

Was not so keen in earlier years but he has become a very likeable bloke and yeah I would rate him as one of my favourites. He is always keen to give it a go which I like..

Difficult to do with any sense or enthusiasm. Really left field then. Valentino in his "walking dead year" clinches the title by fifty points as Marc thinks that he had one operation on that arm too many.

Hernandez has said that Bradl would be a better replacement for Marquez. Not sure about that. Bradl was very good when he first ended MotoGP, but went off the boil quickly

With engine and aerodynamic development frozen in the wake of the pandemic-hit season, there is not much room for designers to move. But with Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati and KTM all winning races in 2020, it is only Honda with plenty to prove. And their biggest concern is whether their top rider Marquez will be able to do it for them. Spectators or not, truncated calendar or not, the prospects for 2021 are alluring.

I am not so sure, someone needs to literally get their shiite together and string some wins. Seemed too hard for anyone except Marc. Bring back Casey Stoner, just hide the milk and ice creams.

Last year was like a breath of fresh air. It was unfortunate what happened to Marquez, but he's been so dominant since he came into the championship in 2013, so it was nice to have a completely open championship fight last year. Plenty of talent on the grid, it's just Marquez has been on another level

Jack now he has matured is one of the most interesting and well thought out guys in racing full stop. I have really warmed to him. Although as I understand hes not a pure bred convict and family have an NZ background? Which probably explains why his middle name isnt Bruce.
If Ducati produce a decent bike this year or next him and Zarco could be battling for the championship.

Last year was my favourite year since the days of Nicky at Honda or maybe Jorge versus Vale, but what made it different was the openness of the field.

It was a great season just gone. It’s hard to compare seasons, but we’ve had great seasons in the past like Rossi vs Lorenzo or Rossi vs Stoner etc. Certain riders have been knocking on the door for a while and it could have gone any which way in the title last year and that was nice to see. Still, was a big shock for Mir. How must riders like Dovi and Vinales feel, they probably thought this was their time

Fabio Quartararo hopes he and Maverick Vinales have a rivalry like that of former Yamaha MotoGP team-mates Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo as he joins the factory team in 2021.
Three-time MotoGP race winner Quartararo steps up to the factory Yamaha squad from Petronas SRT for this season in a straight swap with SRT-bound Rossi.
When asked during his first official appearance as a factory Yamaha rider at the team's launch event how he thought his rivalry with Vinales may develop, Quartararo said: "With Maverick, I hope it will be like Valentino and Lorenzo because they fought 1-2 in the championship until the last race.

Yes it sounds OK and friendly (at the moment) will will see as the year goes on

We’ll see if they can push each other. Easier said than done to replicate the greats Jorge and Vale. Fabio still has a lot to prove. Vinales is still a top rider. But we’ll see

Vinales will probably be fired up and show he has still it in him to take a title. It’s hard to predict how Fabio will do. But then it’s hard to predict which riders will come out on top this year overall. Although Maverick and Mir will be ones to watch
