Always prefered BSB and World Supers to GP as found GP boring last few seasons,

And yeah if he stays on he will win, only hope of any of the others gettin on the top step is if he drops it
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

I'm not bored with him yet. He's not dominated enough for that to happen.

Personally I don't think he'll get the chance.. He may be a damn talented rider, but he's not alone on that grid and they are all pretty damn good riders.

I reckon that Yamaha will get a few tweaks over the next few weeks.

He is an utterly amazing rider, but he is not infallible.
Although he seems head & shoulders above the rest of the grid at the moment, I wonder if his biggest threat may come from himself.?

There might be something in that. He does push himself.

When a rider as good as Ben's Pies says that the only riders who do things he couldn't figure out are Casey and Marquez you know the kid's special. I love the looseness that he rides with, and the sheer joie de vivre he seems to show.

I don't think its Hondas fault tbh as he would win on any bike besides love or hate Honda the sport needs them. They keep moto3 competitive, moto2 wouldn't exist without them and their currently fielding 50% of the factory bikes in the premier class plus in the past when the grid was as low as 18 for motogp 6 of them were Hondas.

I'd not think he can clean sweep not because he can't beat everyone at every round, not because of mechanical issues but because at some point he will crash as its virtually a certainty for all at the very top riding at their limit.

IMO best racing currently out there is moto3, young hungry talented riders,big grids, very technical bikes and the amazing combination of youth, inexperience and testosterone to make going for it and stuff the consequences a regular activity.
