Well I suppose I better write something serious about Danni without any piss takes.
After giving things a bit thought, I think the best way we can judge Danni's progress next year is by measuring his perfomances against Melandri's performances this year. Surely he has to be one the if not the hero of the year, 1st year in the top class and has been challenging for wins and has showen he is able to run with Rossi. He really does have a good shot at 2nd in the championship, quite a superb year really.
Now really Danni's 250 record out shines Melandri's, so really he should at least be able to match Marco's record this year, its going to be interesting to watch and thats how I'm going to judge Danny boy next year.
