Lorenzo is brilliant when he's upright, but his crashing is way too much of a detriment for him to put together a good season. If he can get a handle on that, he will be great. As it stands right now, Pedrosa is every bit as fast, doesn't crash as much, and is better than both Stoner and Lorenzo when it comes to mental toughness, and the ability to race without being pressured into a mistake. I don't know what leads you to believe Lorenzo is better heads up, but I think the crashing factor alone throws that theory out the window.
