I'm sure that there are many who agree with this position. We can revisit this in the distant future.

Well your entitled to your point of view but I certainly don't subscribe to that,Pedrosa is and always has been fast but fragile and hence why he has never won a Moto GP championship,Stoner is a league above him,he hasn't had either Puig or Repsol to wipe his backside over the years,all Stoner has had is Ducati to stab him in the back,I saw Stoner at the Valencia test in 2010,he did a handfull of laps and came in with a smile on his face and spent most of the talking with his leathers around his waste.
As for Rossi he really a law unto himself in 2012 not because of his talent,but because of his ability to generate so much money,if Rossi wasn't getting in the top 10 his fan club would still be as strong, financial and otherwise,and thats the complication,he really is becoming a victim of himself,could he win another championship yes if Lorenzo and Pedrosa fall off and break their legs,and the fact that Honda will throw everything at the championship next year,with new bikes and upgrades to everyone that runs a satellite team for them,never mind Marquez and Pedrosa,so no I don't think he's got a hope,Yamaha will just wheel him out as a money making machine,which I guess is just as important!!!.
The Ducati triangle of Rossi/Hayden.Preziosi hasn't worked,Preziosi is going back to the factory,I've already said on here I believe resigning Hayden is a major mistake,but you can't really blame Ducati,they are after continuity and Rossi looks as if he's already gone.
I've seen several posts on here about Rossi and how folks would like to see him on a Honda,they don't realise what bad blood was involved when he left,but getting to see what a whore house Moto GP really is,anything is possible.
