I want to see Rossi and Lorenzo taking the fight to Marquez more. If the Ducati, Bradley, Cal and Scott can get podiums and challenge the top 6 week in week out that will be the icing on the cake for me.

I don't think Crutchlow will get one single podium this year.

If cal does not get a podium on a pretty much full factory Honda then i will happily eat my hat. He got one on the Ducati.. and that's saying something.

Full factory Honda and a resurgent Cal should yield a few podiums IMO.

I agree. I do hope he has more results than he did on the tech3. If so he should do well.

If he doesn't do well this coming year I think his motogp career would be over IMO.

(f1) and I'm sure he is aware of such so I'm sure all the stops will be pulled out and he has never been short of talent or effort just good luck mostly IMO.

Happy to be wrong....I just feel Cal has "used up" whatever it was he had going for him.

Who knows but I do hope he delivers results this season as well as Redding and Bradley.
