If you add in the fact that Japan wont be skimping on Aoyamas bike too then thats effectively 5 works Hondas, with Hiro's bike being somewhat akin to Tamadas or Nakanos a few years back. Also factor in Elias had a works bike last time he was in Moto GP then you see that ALL the Hondas next year inc Toni's LCR satellite bike will be of a very serious spec. Honda want to win an 800 championship before the era is over and next years their last chance - they are VERY serious about 2011.
Its going to be Epic, Casey looks super quick already, I thought he would be because the Honda should suit him even more than the unrideable Ducati with its errant front end. Jorge's best hope is the Hondas take points off each other, having said that Lorenzo is something special as he proved by dispatching VR this year. I think we have enough world class riders to match the Rainey, Schwantz, Doohan era once again.
