Until now...

I'm rooting for him this year all the way.

I have a hunch that he's going to win it or come in the top 3. He'll definately win in 05.

I have always liked him as a racer.

This year is going to effing OWN! So many people have a shot at the title with Rossi on the Yami.

Gibernau is my pick, but i can't exclude Capirossi or Biaggi. I think even Bayliss Hayden and Colin all have a shot, although these three will definately be duking it out for top slots in 05!

I've always like watching Rossi and no doubt,he's one of the best racers i've seen. But its gonna be an interesting year watching him compete with Edwards,Hayden,Bayliss,Gibernau,Hodgson, Xaus etc.etc. :D
Now if SPEED channel just get with the program and start showing more moto gp action!!! :x

I think that the most "Consistant" racer will win this year as opposed to who wins the most races.

Rossi, Gibernau, Edwards, Capirossi, and Bayliss are the most consistant riders. Hayden, Biaggi, and just about everyone else crashes too much to even think about winning a title.

The same as everyone else.

Bayliss Crashed because he was learning the front end which he finally sorted out. Capirossi was in the same boat. Now that they have the bike sorted, they'll be consistant. I have races in which Nicky rode the front end through turns and crashed like he always does. I'll admit, Nicky is fast but he's not really consistant. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.

Biaggi crashed on the last lap at one race. I forgot which one. I think it was Catalunya. The last friggin lap dude.

Everyone else, just doesn't matter.

While i see what you are getting at...nicky was learning a bike just as loris and troy were. I think you need to go back and count how many times he crashed in comparison to them. Troy crashed out several times last season, finishing 6th in points. Same with Loris , finishing 4th. Biaggi may have had a few spills too, and god knows i can't stand him, but he finished 3rd in points.

I just don't think you can count them out really. Hayden maybe...he's still in massive learning mode. Biaggi though... I think he can throw some stiff competition this year.
