Well, there's no doubt he's on the best satellite team. NO DOUBT. But, I don't think he'll be up there with Lorenzo and Vale at all next year. I think we'll see a few great flashes, but I foresee him being right behind Colin most of the year. He's got a 2 year contract though, so his 2nd year will see him shine.
Of course, NO ONE foresaw just how well he'd ride this year. Had he not had such bad luck (being taken out by gaybrizio, and the mechanicals) then Mladin's prediction of winning by the last 2 or 3 rounds would have come true.
