Way to go Brad. I was fully expecting MM to dump him, which on a short dirt track is acceptable to a certain extent.

Kropo, can you ask your wife who is going to win the 2016 MotoGP title?

We may be seeing the new and improved Marc Marquez.

Unless of course you are Valentino Rossi...then it was a conspiracy to hand Brad the title.

Thanks Gekko.

Good race. If you compare this one to the first year, they are day and night. Marquez was like a battering ram his first year. This time he shows the leader a wheel but is unwilling to punt the rider. A much more measured Marquez performance. I also find it interesting that Barker led flag to flag. Obviously Marquez was blocking Jared Mees from Brad Barker. Ha!

If Marquez continues this approach into 2016 GP, that of taking a podium when that is the best he can do without crashing, then he will be the favorite for the title.

I think MM may finally have learned something.

If he has, this is going to make for a lot of great racing in 2016 hopefully.

His skill has never been in question, it's his brain.

He's still a kid man. But for what I remember, he's not only more skilled than all other riders at his age (including Rossi), but also more mature. Or better said, less immature. Remember how mature you were at 21/22? But I'm sure he either got the notion crashing gives you no points, or Honda shoved that up his a$$ by now. He threw a straight third title away because of that IMO. If he learned that lesson and he's more measured in 2016, he'll be the one to beat once again.
