The point was that Iannone and his girlfriend are subject to a hell of a lot more hysterical tabloid coverage due to her celebrity than Rossi and Linda were.

Ah ok. Not really comparable to the G.O.A.T.s fame though, I can't see ianone counting his t shirt income in terms of £millions because of who he,s shagging

1. Vinales

I'm just looking forward to another season of (hopefully close) racing, with a special interest in seeing Aprilia and KTM giving a good showing.

Probably the most deserving non champ on the grid. Last couple of years he has been a shadow of his former self. I'd be happy to just see him win a few races and get more regular podiums.

9 winners last year. Do we think it will settle down this year or are we in for a similar number of shock wins?

Hmmm... Not sure I agree with that sentiment. I like Dani a lot, but it's like when you hear about all the kids at the school sports day getting prizes, when the reality is that some kids just aren't quite good enough to win (or there are others who are better, whichever way you look at it), or are maybe they're just a bit too fragile!

I mean, races, absolutely all day long, but if he had what it takes to win a championship he would have done it already.
