However, the point that I myself and others are making is that he appears to have the necessary qualities and attributes which one would look for in a Moto GP rider.

Marc Marquez has/was annointed as the next big thing very early in the piece (similar to Rossi) which automatically opened a myriad of doors to equipment and people to assist his development and career. Miller on the other hand was not annointed but rather recognised for what he achieved on a sub-par Honda and it is this which opened doors, but it did not bring with it the support services that have surrounded Marquez (Gabbarini aside) and as such has found himself on customer supported equipment rather than factory. IMO only but Miller is not Marquez and never will be as Marquez is one of those talents that come along all so rarely, but Miller is the good honest hard working and talented toiler in the lines of Hayden (although I do think that Miller is more precociously talented than Hayden which is not to disrespect Hayden) | |

Then to come up to the 500cc class and in your very first race beat a rider of Mick Doohan's ability is further evidence for me that he is/was special (Biaggi contended for a number of 500cc/MotoGP titles) Of course, each their own in terms of their own definition of special but (IMO only here) Biaggi was special, but he is and was a two-stroke rider who was quite negated within the four stroke era (I also put McCoy in this category but nowhere near the level of a biaggi) | |

![]() You are making my point p4p1. Putting him directly into MotoGP was a mistake. He got hurt, and was slow as mud. Too big of a jump, these days. He has to be better than several MotoGP riders that went through all three classes, but he isn't doing as well. Just one year in Moto2, and I think he would be in better shape. | ||

I agree he may be a GP rider someday and just as easily may not. This entire conversation was if Binder was special and i said he wasnt and you took the torch for the he is special side. If he is special, he will get backing. | |
