Gotta admit, I'm <u>very</u> impressed with his riding. Two races in on a brand new bike and he's going like hell, without (yet) smearing himself all over the road. You'd think he's due a Lorenzo Launch or two sometime during the first half of the season, but there's a niggling voice in my head whispering 'Not gonna happen.' The dude rides with such elan that he generates a certain aura of invincibility.
<u>(EDITED during FP3. Oops! Please disregard this paragraph!

Full-on admiration will have to wait. If he can somehow make it through the season without attempting to murder anyone, I might begin to become a fan.
Watching the dude thrash the Honda really makes me wish Stoner hadn't pulled the eject han
dle. The two of them seem to possess similar raw speed, and I'd love to see them going at it in a controlled manner. (Presuming MM eventually learns the meaning of that particular adjective.)
As a replacement for Stoner, and counterweight to the
Return of the <strike>King</strike> Yellow One blockbuster now playing by studio mandate, he's already a success.
