Answer 1

I think it's important to remember that Marco has always been

a top runner - The ducati has been the only bike to mess with

his riding capabilities -

In terms of his future with Kawasaki, and the comment above

that views the decision as 'average' - Marco will be the BEST

rider that Kawasaki have put in it's seat !!

If anything - I would say that Kawasaki have a great asset

and something at last to look forward to - We may have

seen the 2 greens up front last weekend - but when was

the last time you caught sight of that !!! - Just how many

of us remember the Kwaks winning championships ???

Well you just might see the Kwaks back IN the pack !!!!

Answer 2

I like Marco, though I'm surprised he has got a stay of execution, considering the wealth of  talent in 250 class at the moment.

Kawasaki need a experienced head and Hopkins suits that role, when not injured.

Thought Kawasaki would be strong this year, ho hum.

Answer 3

Well, even I'd be better than West, might get the old Marco back

Answer 4

melandri has one of the greatest records in the current moto gp but no1 can seen to make that ducati work for them except stoner (and elias in brno) maybe thats down to stoner getting preferential treatment from the factory with parts or maybe stoner is just exeptional either way would love to see melandri on a different bike and i think its fair to give him another chance as he has done what all the current 250 riders have and more so why not give him a go on the kawasaki and he deserves it after this nitemare season. go marco!  

Answer 5

Well Melandri a good rider its just been bad luck this season.With the right backing and bike i think we will see him shine. All he needs is that extra support as he is totally commited to his proffesion maybe this change is all he needs,

Answer 6

Malandri has never impressed me and moving to Kawasaki (who lets be honest, arn't the best team in the GP) will just make him an avarage rider at best.

I think Hayden will be one to watch out for next year as he's off to Ducati.

Rossi will win this year though :)
