that will be very difficult , no doubt he has the talent and commitment but his first year on a factory spec bike with a brand new team I imagine there will be a lot to learn not just about the bike but how the team works and how the team works together

but Marquez walked into an already established team , this is a brand new team , the Marc VDS moto2 team has stayed in moto2 and they have put together a new crew for motogp , they have some excellent personnel including the crew chief from johnny rea's WSBK team last year but its still a new team

Doesn't matter IMO. They could have put Marquez in a team comprising a dog, a cat and a 6 year old donkey and he would still have won (giggle)

I agree but I think marquez could win on anything from the off , Redding on the other hand will take time me thinks, I hope he proves me wrong though I like reddings riding style 8)

I disagree after ready the guy martin book and the David Jefferies book recently having a well oiled team with a decent bike matter nearly as much. Could have the best rider in the world but they have no confidence in the bike they are not going to win.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Redding is great to watch in a race and definitely not scared of a scrap, I remember his battle with Marquez in Moto 2 at Silverstone in 2012 fantastic racing, it would be great to see him battling with the top contenders and winning a race but we shall see.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

I'm not saying that he can't do it , I really hope he is right up the front challenging for podiums and maybe even wins , I just think it will be a mammoth task given the quality of the opposition and the facts I already stated , if he does it will be even more of an achievement in my opinion .
