How about Nicky Hayden not wasting time bitching about the Ducati, and trying to learn to ride that thing? Casey is a rare breed of rider, and very much a modern rider. I think he and Lorenzo have embraced the electronic era better than any of the rest of the riders. Pedrosa still runs mostly off the 250 GP style of high corner speed and graceful arcs, but the other two have done well with trusting the electronics and firing the throttle open hard and early to get out of the corners. I would love to see a technology rollback to about 2004, when incredible slides, braking duels, and rear tires actually SPINNING as the bike is pushing 200MPH! God, that was beautiful racing.

Also, check out car VS bike on youtube! That's incredible, and part 2 is a quantum leap above that!

DON'T put the results in the title of your posts this year, PLEASE. Some of us record it and watch it after.
