Top British driver - Cal Crutchlow, Tech 3 Yamaha
HIs is only Brit in the premier class. I Personally think Cal needs another season in World Superbikes with Yamaha. But, lets see what will Cal do this season. Main challenge will be his Tech 3 team mate Colin Edwards and not being last in races for Cal this season. Lets wait and see.
Big Surprise - Karel Abraham, Cardion AB Motoracing
A big surprise his on a MotoGP bike this season. He was in Moto 2 last season (finishing 10th, best race wining at Valencia at the end of last season). Also, his riding a Ducati, which is a touch bike to handle. But, it will be a big surprise if he finished in a Top 7 in a race this season.
Biggest Disappointment - Valentino Rossi, Ducati Team
If you expecting Valentino Rossi to win this seasons championship, I doubt it. He ain't looking good on the Ducati, like the last few seasons on a Yamaha M1, which was his bike. Ducati isn't his style yet. So expect wins later in the season, don't expect another world championship from the nine times champion.
Best Improver (1) - Marco Simoncelli, Gresini Honda
I have chose two drivers for this section. First driver, Marco Simoncelli. His on a semi-works Honda. He got better at the end of last season (three straight top six in Australia, Portugal (almost a podium at the end of the race) and Valencia). So expect a few podiums this season from Marco
Best Improver (2) - Ben Spies, Yamaha Factory Raicng
Second Driver, Ben Spies were last season a rookie, he was great (a pole at Indy and top 8's in each race last season). Now on a works Yamaha this season you gonna see improvements from Ben, possibilities wins, despite being team mates to current champion Jorge Lorenzo.
Don't forget these drivers as-well:
Andrea Dovizioso, Repsol Honda
His on a works Honda, despite two better in talent team mates don't be surprise he might give you a odd win this season if the Honda works well.
Nicky Hayden, Ducati Team
Despite having Rossi a team mate and on a Duke (Ducati), Nicky will give you a drive that you will not expected this season. Such as Aragon last season, were he finished on the podium a head of Jorge Lorenzo. And he gives the team top six's each race last season.
Driver to beat this season, at this moment it ain't current champion Jorge Lorenzo on a works Yamaha, I do believe he wants to defend his championship he won last season, also believe will be in the top three in the championship at least. Just as Best Improver I've got two for drivers to beat.
Driver to beat (1) - Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda
If he ain't injured, if the Honda is the best bike, it could be the best time for Dani to win his first MotoGP Championship in the Premier Class this season. Bike been great in pre-season testing, driver to beat? only one problem his new team-mate.
Driver to beat (2) - Casey Stoner Repsol Honda
New team after leaving Ducati for the past four season were he won a championship with them. But, new channelling to win a divers title for Honda since Nicky Hayden in 2006. Same as Dani, not injured and his Honda is best on the grid, there will be no stopping for Casey for wins and championship. If i'm going to pick a driver to win the championship it's Casey.
End of the Motogp predictions. I'm going some were interesting on Wednesday, which I tell you guys later in the week (not sure I'm going yet). Next week F1 Preview in a tweeting kind of way. End of blog now. That is all. Bye.
