This adds even more pressure on Pedrosa for 2013 (and for Honda to develop a better chassis) because Rossi will be a constant podium threat on that rider-friendly M1.

Time for HRC to produce some magic next year to aid Pedrosa win the title.

Good news for Yamaha fans...I think.... and bad news for Honda fans...Yamaha on paper will be unbeatable.

Can't see him being a danger to Lorenzo as he is even better now than in 2010. But as I said he will be a constant podium threat and will be taking points away from the Hondas through the season, which is probably what Yamaha wants.

In short, he will be a great nš2 for Yamaha. And they will be very difficult to beat for Honda (with Lorenzo also on board). Honda needs to find an advantage somewhere.

Honda can face an uphill struggle against Yamaha in teams championship then. In Constructors they do already now thanks to J.Lorenzo effort. It is going to be extremely hard to win riders title. I believe Yamaha is having two best riders next season while we have in the best scenario no.3 and a talented one.... We shall see....

That will depend on both the bike and how the young Marquez delivers. Personally, as a Honda fan I see it as both good news and a renewed challenge. Hate when there are no two race-wining rivals around, like in the past two years.
