Back to the topic at hand. The series needs Stoner, he is the only rider in the world who has/ or had the outright speed to match Marquez on a race to race basis. Its very likely he has lost the edge sitting on the sidelines, but i would like to see. At this point, Marquez is playing with his fellow competitors, which may be more maddening than just getting blitzkreiged from the drop of the flag. I said there was no way Marquez would run the table, and i still dont believe it will happen, but it appears that the only way he will be beat is by either crash, mechanical failure, or the crew just totally misses the setup on race day, which doesnt seem to happen, ever. They seem to be as good at what they do as Marquez is at what he does . Lethal combination.!!!!
