OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted October 21, 2018 He needs the right bike for it to be seen his true potential. I am surprised Ducati did not give him Lorenzos factory ride for 2019, instead given to Petrucci, who is good but ultimately a bit short of Millers potential. Ducati have to find a replacement for the next GP as it seems Lorenzo not fit...…. wonder who they will choose? Its in Phillip Island - could it be Casey Stoner? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although a very good rider , especially in the wet, he has yet to prove he can consistently compete with the best. For him to be considered as championship potential he need to up his game and be near the front . Crutchlow is a perfect example of the difference between being a brilliant rider and that of world champion potential. He is capable of competing with the leaders, but his consistency lets him down.

OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted October 22, 2018 G13webb - although Crutchlow rides for LCR he is riding a full Honda works bike, so he should be challenging more then he does, Jack Miller is on a Ducati at least 12 months old I understand. The works Yamahas of Rossi and Vinhales have gone backwards this year, even Tech3 rider Zarco has beat them at times this year. Lack of investment in development which is being put right 2019. Marquez is an incredible rider, will be interesting how Lorenzo goes on as his team mate next year, give him a few meetings to see him settle in. Problem as I see is that the Honda is built for Marquez who is smaller then Lorenzo. Pity Lorenzo is leaving Ducati now his bike is sorted, Dovi could seriously challenge Marquez next year, but Dovi must have only a few years left in him, and I not see Petruci can step up to the plate.

throttlejockey 0 Posted October 22, 2018 thank u for the informative replies. I have to say it's been abit of drought rider wise for Australia in the MotoGP compared to the days of Gardner, Doohan and Stoner dominating. However i see that Remi Gardner is riding in the Moto GP 2 and look out for Seth Crump making his way in the Australian road racing scene as well. http://www.mcnews.com.au/seth-crump-wins-supersport-300s-at-hidden-valley/ http://www.mcnews.com.au/2019-idemitsu-asia-talent-cup-selections/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj350z 2,266 Posted October 22, 2018 Very hard to say unless he has the chance to ride a factory bike. I think he could do a better job at Ducati as no2 to Dovi than Petrucci will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
