    I'm thinking no!
    If crutch's or dovi have a shithot year they have to be a sure thing don't they!

    As Zut said, it was for second at a track Rossi and never run on before that Hayden and Colin knew well. And Rossi won the championship that year. Rossi also liked having Colin as a teammate because he knew he could run Colin's set-ups faster than Colin could.

    Oh I'm sorry, I don't remember seeing the term "world championship" in your original statement.

    Whoever fills in for Stoner will just be holding Marc Marquez's spot.

    I still think Dani's keeping the seat warm for Marquez. They're about the same size aren't they? Next year, without Stoner and if Dani can keep from braking ANYTHING then it'll likely be his best shot at the Championship that he'll have. So if he doesn't pull the title next year then I'd say he never will and he'll be the MotoGP version of Haga. The winningest rider to never win a championship.
