I also wish him luck BUT I personally think he's gonna be another Melandri. This year the bike was made for Pedrosa,next year it'll be the bike was made for Stoner,or it's the Michelins, or etc. For him to win,he either has to have OVERWHELMING advantages,1000cc v-twin vs 750 I4 or ALOT of luck, Rossi with 2 or 3 crashes and mech dnfs.

I honestly think that Nicky is an excellent rider,top 10% easily but he is not a champion. A champion can ride past/thru a not perfectly set-up bike. He doesn't blame everyone else when he can't perform. He overcomes obstacles. You all hate on Pedrosa but Pedrosa won 250cc races with two broken ankles and your boy can't ride over a hairline fracture on his heel. Whatever,there is more to this story than we know and Honda is about winning races. They didn't choose Dani over Nicky without reason,you can be sure of that.
