Agreed, but don't discount our current champion on the Aprilia. I think he will be strong.The MotoGP season isn't far away and with the personnel changes in many teams, once again the factory Ducati team look the ones to beat.
A pairing of Bagnaia and M Marquez will be very strong and I don't anticipate current WC Jorge Martin's move to Aprillia being a step up.
Team to watch this season, Yamaha. Very impressive times with the new V4 engine in pre season testing. Look out for Fabio Quatararo to start getting some good results again.
The Yamaha does look stronger than of late, but it is still the inline 4. The V4 is not circuit ready as yet, but may make an appearance next year.
