I think people write off VR too quickly. VR has always been extremely quick and supremely talented. Don't think he lost either.

VR on the other hand also always had a weak spot. If it doesn't work inside his head, it doesn't work on the bike. He doesn't bounce back in confidence as easy as others and it clearly shows on the Ducati.

If VR gets on a bike he trusts and restores his confidence next year, I'd say the other riders better pay attention to him cause he's going to be quick, very quick and he'll have something to prove.
