It was Ducati bore fest this whole year.

With riders changing bikes for next year, new teams and hopefully new engines for some manufacturers, 2025 might be more interesting. As Casey Stoner said, it's not the best rider who won this year, but the best manufacturer.

Casey just needs to keep his opinions to himself now, his moaning is getting old.

MM's resurgence has been utterly brilliant, IMO. From the worst bike on the grid to the best, people writin him off left right & centre (oh, he's past it bla bla bla) and he blats his way to 3rd in the championship on a year old bike. From being a staunch "hater" back in the day, I've actually come to respect the everloving heck out of the guy. He just bounces back from everything.

Their bike has problems getting the power down out of the corners, and the front end is numb in the corners. They need to work on their software & suspension kinematics a bit, I think. Brad himself has kinda been in the middle of the argy-bargy this year, too, with almost nowhere to go in T1 / 2, and several crashes trying to keep the front end in line.

Right now, though, Duc are the guys to beat. And Suzie is coming back!

This sorta proves Casey's point. From nowhere on the previously all conquering Honda, to a bike that was allowed to be developed faster/more than the Japanese brands, and in his first season he is 3rd on the championship log. 

Let's hope the Japanese brands are now going to use the concessions to catch up.

And yeah, hope Suzy comes back, as well as the Kwackers.

Still a negative nancy, IMO. JM was one of the most consistent runners in the field this year. Consistency beats outright victories, and Pecco squandered that with his offs. MM certainly the most improved (got onto a proper bike again), Beastianini with the best late race pace.
