Im sure they will do ok together as honda motogp teamates but he wont be as naturally gifted as marc.
MM just has the exact right physique and weight to save those front end washouts and pretty much everyone else who tries fails even though they can see how he does it.
MM seems to have retired two riders with his 'techniques' so maybe its a safe choice as he wont try
and kill his brother lol.

Or 'if you're going to behave like a Lowes brother, can you do it nowhere near me' ....

I can't help thinking MM will come out on top, but if AM scores some decent points that would be a bonus for Honda - JL didn't exactly help then this season! rolleyes

But it will definitely be interesting!

Potentially a bit like when Ralf Schumacher joined F1, and we know how that worked out. laugh

Alex will be quick, take points off the opposition and make the occasional clumsy mistake.

My impression was that Honda parted company with Dani to get someone better to help them secure the triple crown; obviously they've got it, but on the back of a stunning year for MM93 so I'm not sure that plan has panned out very well.

He's definitely a Ralf Schumacher in my eyes currently yes

Happy to be proved wrong, and even if he's mixing with the top 6 it will be good for the show. A rookie doing well on a Honda is virtually unheard of.

Didn't Biaggi, Rossi, Pedrosa & MM all do pretty well on a Honda in their rookie years?

Completely different bikes. No comparison.

OK, unheard of this decade! biggrin

I thought MM being the exception to the rule was blindingly obvious too.
