I would argue it is not JUST talent, there is luck in there too.

Anything could have happened just then, he admitted he lost concentration, missed his braking point and made a mistake. He fcrashed 27 times this year, far too much and at some point one of those is going to mean injury somewhere. You simply cant keep crashing like that for an entire career.

As for Yamaha, the old bike is clearly very good, Poncheral will not want the 2017 bikes he is going to get!

Zarco and Folger were showing good form, Folger was actually getting the better of Zarco a bit before his illness. But Johan has been good all year.

My dark horse for 2018, Rins.

Major useless years for Lowes who did himself no favours by crashing fairly routinely and being slow, Redding who was pathetic this year.
