Well, let's see. How many years was it between world championships for Troy Corser. And now he seems to be the darling of this group. True, he isn't a complainer, but does that make him a faster rider. Seems to me that Troy is definitely a front runner. The question is, in my mind, is he a racer. Will he be able to win when the competition gets hot and heavy, bumping and grinding, getting stuffed and restuffing, cuz, he won't have the advantage this year that he did last year? From what I've observed of Troy, he doesn't like that style of racing.
The competitive fire still burns within Max, and, if the Suzuki suits him, he'll be faster and a harder racer than Troy. If it does't, this is the last stop for him. He's burned every other bridge.
Regardless, WSB will be the best series to watch this year with the best racing. Can hardly wait to see them battle it out!
