His fade this season was odd, and he's not getting any younger.
Zarco: For me, I think Zarco had the talent to be world champion, but it was a case of too little too late, and not getting the best bike. Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at KTM after 22, but I think he's in a bit of a Petrucci situation, where now that he's reached the top, if he doesn't deliver, it's the top or nowhere. Miller: Fast rider, great dude, but unless he wins the championship next year, he will be replaced in 22 by Martin or Enea. Unless Suzuki make a huge step during the off season, I think we'll see him 3-5th in the championship again, and moving to somewhere other than Suzuki after '22. Mir: Obviously super talented and out riding the Suzuki's capability. He'll probably be Ducati's golden boy for the next few years. Pecco: I think Pecco will be even stronger next year than this year, and will be in the running for the championship again, and will possibly win. I think he'll finish 3rd or 4th in the Championship next year, but will probably stick with Yamaha long term. Now that the season has officially come to a close, let's start the fun game of wildly speculating how next year will go and where each rider on the grid will end up.įabio: Finally reaching the potential many thought he had, I am still not convinced he has the true consistency to fight against a fully fit Marquez or an up to speed Pecco.
