- []He has said this in so many interviews, watch, by 2015 he will be back riding the Repsol Honda, when Pedrosas contract is up and he has come 2nd place in 2 more championships, and when HRC gives Casey a check for $30M
of course anyone would like to have stoner on their bike.. But I doubt repsol give a ...... Marquez will do fine for years to come..

Nowhere near as good as he would want or expect, but probably about as well as he should be given that he has very little four wheel racing experience (a mate of mine in V8 reckons he is 'doing ok, people are watching, but they still need convincing'
He has crashed a couple of times, his fault and wrong place wrong time, has cut some quick laps within that field (often his fastest lap is in the top eight) and has shown glimpses. But where he fails is in his ability to pass others as in V8 he needs to take every opportunity and not play nice as others will not with him, yet he still treads to softly and misses many an overtake opportunity.
Given time, he will likely get towards the front as afterall he is racing many guys with far greater four wheel experience, but whether the desire lasts long enough for him is the real question.

He'll be back for another cruising paycheck tour once the Aussie taxman sorts him out

I guess your forgetting his 6 week vacation after Indy and doing nothing after coming back but watching his inferior teammate string up wins. He spent half the season pre celebrating his retirement.
After he knew he couldnt win the championship he mailed the rest of the year in. The great legnths you Aussies go to defend this quitter are astonishing. I bet you feel that it was admirable that he didnt try to win because he had no chance to win be a champion.

I never understood this term "boring" to describe Lorenzo. Hes the consumate athlete. One of the hardest workers in the business. Keeps his head down, conducts himself as a gentleman, manages each race to his and his bikes ability regardless of the outcome,never has a negative word even when taken out. Tough, resilent and hyper focused. He is a coaching dream, a parents dream and what every athlete should aspire to be.
I find it very exciting to find him 20 points down in a championship because he is the only rider who possesses the smarts to be able to manage that gap over 3/4 of a season without panicking or throwing in the towel

Boring in the sense that he does not generate controversy(not a bad thing in itself). Boring in the sense that he seems to have little in the way of personality such as exhibited by Mike The Bike, King Kenny, Mamola, Sheene, Rainey, Crutchlow, Edwards, Rossi etc. He seems like more of a cipher than a human. Other than his jumping around on the podium and his past exploits trying to mimic Rossi's victory celebrations, he seems to have the personality of a slide rule.
