Not sure if Marquez will ever factor again, now that his double vision has returned due to another training accident. He is going to require surgery and a 5 month recovery time. Will be pushing it to be ready for 2022 season.
I think Fabio is worried about Ducati. I know team Suzuki are, they however at least can somewhat manage on the straights with the Ducati, having their hole shot device. Yamaha, will need some serous extra ponies for the new year.
Rins is fast, Rins just needs to figure out what he's doing wrong. I think the guy would win more races if he could just stay on the bike. Sure, Mir is faster on typically any given weekend but then Rins somehow finds some extra tenths and is faster during the race. He just crashes way too much. Then gain, that's why Mir was 3rd in the championship and I couldn't tell you where Rins landed.
I also think Jorge Martin will be a threat next season. Between him, Pecco and Miller. They took 7 wins and 10 poles, and Enea Bastianni seems to find speed out of nowhere. I think we will see some Ducati dominance next season. I think KTM will get stronger, they still won two races this year. Honda will be there and so will Yamaha. Suzuki will be at the back of these, with Aprilia sucking hind tit. What will make Ducati hard to beat is they will field 8 bikes. That's a lot of spots on the grid to fight for, and if they are all good riders. You can expect to see some serious Ducati presence in the top 10.
Roll on 2022!!
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!!
