Well Repsol lost Biaggi and Jeremy Burgess (crew chief) as well as some of the rest of the crew to Yamaha so it was a big blow to them. This seasons Erv Kanemoto from Honda (the legendary race engineer) will be working with Biaggi so it should be a good battle. I just don't think Biaggi has what it takes to beat Rossi. As Kevin Schwantz said it faster, "Rossi's got more than Biaggi's number. He's got his address, his social security number, his license plate..." Maybe this will be Max's year but this is Rossi's second year on the M1 and now he has Colin Edwards to back him up.
Honestly I hope Gibernau, Tamada, or Rossi steps up to beat Rossi, if indeed anyone can do it.
