Ago, on the MV Agusta, was like shooting fish in a barrel, if all the other competitors had been on similar machinery I am not sure that he'd have won as often. I am not saying he is not a great rider, I just feel he had such a lopsided unfair advantage much of the time.

It would appear to place VR ahead of MM were it as simple as that.
Having watched them both, and watch them race each other, hell no.

If Doohan hadn't injured himself, he would be ahead of both Rossi and MM

I'm a huge Lorenzo fan, but place Marquez far higher in my ratings.

Doohan of course went on a run of titles after what should have been a career ending Injury. This puts him into the higher echelons of grand prix racers. Imo.
The way Marquez was embarrassing the grid at Jerez in 2020 before the second crash, and the way everyone else during the year kept throwing away their chance at the title, makes me agree that he would have walked the 2020 title and been in a good to great position for '21 as well. I guess the flip side though is he would probably still be on a factory Honda now that isn't going anywhere rather than in the factory Ducati team with a decent shot to win the next title or two.
