Thought it was a good idea for things that may not be in discussion about a particular round.
Looking early on in the season, it should be a strong advantage to MM over Pecco. The next 3 out of 4 races are at some of MMs strongest tracks with Argentina, USA and Jerez all coming up. It is conceivable that MM could heard to Qatar with a 32+ point lead then onto Jerez where anything he may lose to Pecco at Qatar he makes up in the 5th round of the season. France (R6) is another strong MM track while Pecco has had one podium, which came last year and was behind Marquez. Pecco really needs to bank as many points as possible early in the season before his favoured tracks come up, otherwise he could end up in another situation like last year, where Martin didn't need to take risks and could just cruise to get the points he needed for the championship.
Looking at the calendar it doesn't appear to me that Pecco has a run like MMs early this season where it is basically tracks that favour himself not broken up by tracks that favour his rival. Tracks that I would consider stronger for Pecco generally have a round that in theory favours MM after them. IE At Silverstone and Mugello, tracks I expect Pecco to take more points than MM in but in the middle of those two rounds is Aragon, which I think we all expect MM to take more points than Pecco at. Maybe it is that I expect more tracks will favour Marquez over Pecco but it will be harder for Pecco to put championship pressure on MM when 'his' tracks are often broken up by 'MM' tracks.
