All eyes on Lorenzo

Having watched the 2018 Valencia MotoGP test live I would like to make my 2019 predictions for MotoGP. I predict that Lorenzo will shock anyone who does not believe in him, he will be super-quick and get used to the Honda and be fighting for wins within the first half of 2019 and he will definitely win more than one race in 2019. Lorenzo was only 0.827s off the fastest time put in by Maverick Viñales. This was after riding the Honda for the very first time and it will have not even been adapted yet to suit his style. I also predict that Francesco Bagnaia will be a very strong contender for podiums within the first six months of the year and that will be by his own merits and not given to him because of crashes. This is because he is a very worthy 2018 Moto2 World Champion and he has Cristian Gabarrini in his corner. Gabarrini is, in my opinion, one of the best crew chiefs out there.
