Marquez sponsorship

Ok so I may actually, sort of, be in love with him, but that does not make me entirely impartial! =P
Plus it's Two Door Cinema Club in the background! <3

Need for a change of predictions?

Looks like I may need to change my predictions! Romano Fenati and Arthur Sissis coming out of no where!

2012 prediction

So I suppose it is time for me to look into my crystal ball and see if I can take a look at who may be in with a shot of championship happiness in 2012...

Moto3
1. Maverick Vinales - Rising (Spanish) star, he WILL follow in the steps of Pedrosa and Marquez
2. Sandro Cortese - If he just stays strong he could be a quiet winner
3. Danny Kent - Doing it for the Brits, he is good he just needs to keep it on the black stuff!

Moto2
1. Marc Marquez - No questions asked, he's the best, last year he could have won, but he chose not to!
2. Thomas Luthi - Same as Cortese, but louder
3. Brad Smith - Because he works so hard and has the motivation of MotoGP, and he's British!

MotoGP
1. Dani Pedrosa - This year, finally, if he can stay injury free!!
2. Casey Stoner - He's stroppiness will prevent him keeping the No# 1 but he's still good
3. Ben Spies - A dark horse I know, but he has it in him and if everything goes according to plan...

So there are my predictions. Some of them are a bit off the cuff but hey I'm crazy like that! What do you think?

(I don't know if it is just me who can see it, but is there a little bit of sadness in Rossi's eyes before the smile? - RIP SuperSic)

Shame I have not found similar videos for the Moto2 and Moto3 championships...
