I couldnt vote for more guys so I voted for Marco... but apart from Marco I also see some of the dark horses coming... what about Loris?... and what about Dovi....?????....

but to me Marco seems as the top contender...

but then again it could be anybody...

and lets not forget Dani... his bike may look wierd, but its fast... so we could also see a contender... next year a monopoly cannot be achieved by any rider so, lets see what happens.

Personally I'll choose:

1. Dani is the biggest threat for Vale next year. Honda has very promising return looking to what Ducati and Hayden said. Michelin I guess will fight back too (but the chance still 50-50 since they have problemm internally inside Michelin)
2. Still KC. His whole package is good. Not as a rider but package. Ducati with Bridgestone.

I guess next year Dani will win the championship not Vale again unless Yamaha solves their speed and durability problem.

And having ride Bridgestone solo will be damn hard since Bridgestone has no data for Yamaha. And also Vale yamaha is the only yamaha to use Bridgestone. There is no support/ helper like what Colin did before. Vale chance of winning the title very small. I hope I'm wrong. Not to be unsupportive but that what I want to say. I got the feeling he'll lose it again.

I voted KC, coz I think he has better info in thebike than marco. yet I won't deny that marco is also a good rider ( i believe better than kc) but over all I think anyone can be his rival.. gotta be tough, but I believe vale will win!

Stoner and Pedrosa should be at the front.I think Hayden will have a much better season and could contend.The riders on new teams haven't had a chance to show what they have yet.A lot of people picking Melandri.He has to get more consistent.One race he's top three,next race he's 10th.Could be bike setup issues.And he is injury prone.Every time he goes down he breaks something.He rides tough when he is injured,as good or better than when he is healthy,but he needs to stay healthy to have a realistic shot.

I voted for Dani I think he is a better rider than Casey so if his tyres work well he should have a good season. If I could have voted for two I would have picked Marco aswell he is a fighter I think he will do really well on the Ducati. Saying that as long as everything is good with Vale none of them are gonna be a real threat.

I think Pedrosa isn't as aggressive as Casey or Marco ... so I think he's less dangerous for Vale !!

Yeah I agree that Marco is more aggresive than Dani But Casey? Is he aggressive? I dont think I even saw him really fight for position this year so I wouldn't know.

yup, I never considered KC as a duel-fighter...

What about Mr.Hayden... I hope he`ll have better season then that one -
he has suffered enough from bad luck, as well as Vale...

Yeah I hope 2008 is better for Hayden than this year. When his bike and tyres worked for him he was more aggresive than he was last year you could see he was trying hard. His ride at Assen was really good.

Well, really: Nicky has shown himself as a real fighter this year, although
very unfortuante one... It all seems so unfair a little: so many things
depend not only on your skills, talnet, at least techincal supply, but on
good or bad luck also!
