I thought to make it a bit more of an apples to apples comparison the top 5 should be from about 80 onwards. When there was more factory bikes etc.
1 - Marc Marquez
He hasn't won as many as Rossi but he has won against stronger competition with far less advantages and done so while showing...

A few things that are hard to beleive.
First off, i would have thought both Dovi and Crutchlow would be making considerably more than 1-1.2 million
Second, Nicky getting 4 million a year is...
Greetings, the newest new guy here! A blurb about myself; I ride Yamaha, I cheer for Yamaha. I have one quick question for the Moto GP loving masses. Why is it that year after year Yamaha is consistently lacking Top Speed? Everyone knows they’re always behind the Ducati and Honda Teams in this...
Eugene Laverty took advantage of a soft tyre and a dry ‘window' to edge out Max Biaggi and go quickest at the end of three days of testing at Phillip Island. The Yamaha man, who has looked impressive all the way in testing for his rookie WSBK season, recorded a time of 1 minute 31.5 seconds...

I Can only see Livio winning that battle if Stoners back on form 2011 pug
How Ducati returned to the top Toby Moody analyses the reasons for Ducati's return to form, the already tense situation at Honda Racing, and the 2011 MotoGP...
As above really, or will the wee dear pull a hamstring getting into his leathers
Is he just too wee and 250ish (is there such a phrase) to wrestle a motogp mount?
I think he's toast myself but..................whatyas reckon?
Did anyone catch Spies comments after day 2 at Sepang?
He says a top 5 result is possible.
Aside: CEII says this year with the package that Tech 3 has is the best shot as every for a race win..
Needless to say the Tech 3 boys have a few fans this year.

FORMER world motorbike racing champion Casey Stoner has retreated to the Territory to try to get over the mystery illness threatening his career.
He is staying at a Darwin caravan park and was seen playing computer games on his iphone before the shops opened at Casuarina...
I know it sounds pretty silly,but what the f@ck,we have to wait another 20 days to smell rubber at Brno,so we can discuss ........ threads!
But,joking aside,imagine the situation!
I think that it would be the closest championship in the history of motorcycle racing,at this level!
I really can't...
Well spoken . This guy is awesome on the Bike and Off the Bike. Ultimately I think he will be the Heir to Rossi's Throne. He just has to hang in there and be patient. He will give Stoner a run for his money and I think he would finish Top 2. Of course Rossi would be in his Head too. Fiat Yamaha...
