You took my post too serious, but yeah... I'm giving you an infraction for your picture quoting violation.

LOL! Um... I was trying to avoid being added to the #metoo?
Actually I usually post the grid girls simply because they're out there in the heat and the rain with the riders and the techs and then everybody forgets about them. You see the crews and the riders and the riders wives/girlfriends, but the grid girls just quietly fade into the background once the flags come out.
So to honor their contribution to the sport:

She was worth it.

That can be said of virtually any rider on the grid. If you look at most of Marquez' crashes last year they were low side front end washouts. This was because he was overcompensating for lack of acceleration by pushing the RCV's main strength over the limit.
Looking at pre season testing, Honda have sorted the bike more that he won't have to push the front that hard now, therefore not be crashing as much.
I think he's more adaptable than Lorenzo.
So, you might be right, but I'd certainly like to see him try.

Look at how lucky Rossi was in going so many years without serious injury. Oh no wait... Rossi is the Goat and never benefited from luck.

Honestly though, in pretty much all Marquez crashes I can remember off the top of my head, the reason he never gets hurt is because he is smart enough to only low side when he crashes. I can't remember a single time he high-sided in recent memory, besides Assen 2013, and thats how most riders get hurt almost every time it seems.
All though I will admit, not dying at Mugello that one time is pure luck and he is lucky to not have ended his career right there.
Friggin Marquez with his riding on the limit. I swear in 20 years when I'm asked what it was like to watch when he was racing all I'll remember was hoping he didn't crash.
Maybe I'll remember that time in Austin, qualifying, when he did that run back to get his second bike.

He highsided a few times last year alone.
You're assuming that the electronics play no part in tyre wear. That's not a sound assumption.

He rarely crashed, and rarely crashes.

If this is correct, out of 27 times he highsided only twice(0:45 and 2:18),and neither of them were bad at all with one being really low speed. All the other 25 were low sides, so I’ll stick with my statement for now that he seems to have mastered crashing in the least risky way. Hence the lack of serious injuries

Go watch him in the 125’s , he can ride any way the bike demands. That’s what sets him apart from the rest of the riders , doesn’t ..... when things are going bad, just figures out a way to go fast on what he has.
Hello everybody.
My bet is that Honda-Ducati will fight for win, with Yamaha an almost distant third (almost because track really suits them) and Suzuki right behind them.
I think both ducati drivers will be on podium with marquez as well.
