Looking at the top 11 riders this year so far, everyone of them has had a podium except for Dovi and Nakano. Dovi is currently 5th in points and still without a podium finish. Will he get a podium before the season is over.
I say yes, he is hard working and well deserving of it. He just needs to get some good qualifications in and ride out the rest of the season hard.

Yeah, but at this time of year he is heavily disadvantaged with his '07 RCV. Jumkie pointed out how Rossi blew away form Dovi, he failed to mention that Hayden blew away with Rossi behind. Add those together and you have a huge difference between the '08 pnumo and the '07.
I guess that it is now the slowest bike in straight line in the field. So, my bet is that his podium will have to wait until next year.

He's been doing a good job this season, and a podium finish would be great, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. If Rossi, Casey and Jorge all crash out, he might pull it off. I hope I'm wrong, because like I said, he did a good job so far, and I wish him the best!

Wow, thats a surprising statistic. From Andreas current form he always seems to be just one level below the podium leading the second pack, so i'd say a top 3 isn't on the cards. However its quite pssible the circumstances could fall in his favour at some point, and he'll probably be there to make the most of it if they do.

no podium IMO. just because he is hard working and deserving, dont mean it will happen. he needs an equipment upgrade (ie tyres)

I think being the optimist I am he should at least get 3rd. Out of every one even toni elias he should be on the podium at least once. Dovi should be able if he is on a factory ride to be in good contention for the title more so than most on the grid. Barring that of course by Rossi and Stoner.

Yeah good possibility, I just hope some weird .... happens to Rossis bike so he can't finish the race and gets zero points. But I would bet that Ezy has gaurds around his bike 24-7 to make sure that he wins the championship to keep the Rossi fans watching tv. I would also venture to guess that for race day ezy will have Bstone give stoner .... tires so he crashes again.

I was merely adding to his theory through the investigation I had done when i was in the paddock watching men in black escort a mysterious man through the pits around the ducati garage. Hmmm.

Gosh you really are spiteful aren't you?
I say Dovi gets a podium. But I guess that's thinking with my heart rather than my head. I really fear for him going into Puigland next year.

Well he is a republican.

Only if we have some more adverse weather, or Rossi etc all DNF.
Think Dovi is an exceptional rider, but this year he is not on an exceptional bike!

Well then bro you not the type of Rossi fan I am referring to. I am a Rossi fan but want to see others win as well. So your most likely just like the good cool rossi fans that are also fans of the sport we all love as MOTO GP!!!
