2011. Stoner, Rossi, Jorge or Spies?

Or someone else?, Can Simoncelli show the style that worked for him in the 250's? Can Ben overtake Colin as the most successful ex-WSBK rider currently in MotoGP.

Justify your answers. I've got my opinions, I want to hear yours!

(Go Casey!)

    Wiggysan is as big a fan of Ben Spies as I am and I really do expect him to be fighting Jorge for the title.

    The thing in the way is Casey Stoner. he was so quick straight out of the box on the Honda.

    Now with Bridgstones and Ohlins he is going to be the man to beat.

    If all the stories about how hard he had to ride the Ducati to get some heat into the front tyre are true.

    he is going to be a lot quicker on a bike that gives better feeling a lot sooner.

    Im out on a limb saying Rossi wont be anywhere near as good as Casey was on the Ducati.

    When Rossi starts to complain about lack of feeling in the front as everyone else who has ever ridden the red beast has.

    Will the fans call him a moaner, will they say Jerry has lost his touch. (I think not)

    But they will review their thinking about just how good Stoner is.

    I also think the extra competition in the HRC camp may bring Dani and Dovi up to scratch too.

    Ben will easilly become the best from Superbike racing, though he did ride and race the small 2 strokes before that. he is the full package, his crew are very good at what they do. in the AMA they took what Mat Mlladin had and improved on it.

    this year they will take what Jorge lorenzo has and will improve it.

    If it comes down to the wire and I have to make my bet

    Ben Spies.

    Casey Stoner

    Dani Pedrosa

    Casey will be top HRC. No doubt about that.

    As for World Champs, it will be between #99 & #46.

    Ben 3rd.

    Dont need to justify my answer, thats just how it will be.

    #46 for the title, with only 1 round to go.
