I didn't say it wasn't impressive. I just don't think it's comparable.

The isle of man was a required race on the GP calendar back then. Ago was a big proponent for getting it banned.
Dovi has signed with Ducati for two more years and apparently Vinales has signed with Suzuki for 3 and Lorenzo with Yamaha for two years with an out option after one year. (These last two have yet to be officially confirmed by Dorna and posted on the MotoGP site)
Cal staying with Ducati for his full 2yr contract. I wonder how good the '15 machine will turn out.
No surprise, Ducati has always had an Italian rider on the factory team (Stoner/Hayden was the only exception).
Looks like Suzuki is moving Maverick Viñales up from Moto2 to ride their MotoGP Suzuki bike, signed to a 3 year deal! http://www.motogp.com/en/MotoGP+in+the+Media

Too soon for Vinales imo
Would you dare bring anyone from Moto3 to ride the suzuki MotoGP bike?
Its Maverick from Moto2 not Issac from Moto3 that is ruled to be signing with Suzuki.Would you dare bring anyone from Moto3 to ride the suzuki MotoGP bike?
And I don't think any rider should make the jump from Moto3 to MotoGP, jumping to a bike that is much heavier and a lot more powerful just send like too much to adapt to all at once and be competitive

Nobody would be dumb enough to jump somebody from Moto3 to MotoGP. I just think Maverick had barely gotten his feet wet in Moto2, and already they're wanting to put him on the big bike. Even MM slugged it out in Moto2 for 2 years before jumping up.
He has shown many times in the past he can be a very hot/cold rider. If he is not in the right state of mind come race day he doesn't do squat. On the flip side he can be serious fast if the mood is right.
Also, he is hopping on an unproven bike that will be undoubtedly going through development throughout the next few years. So the chances of him doing well are a lot less than if he stayed on a competitive Moto2 package and made a run for the title next year.
Whatever happened to dePuniet being a factory Suzuki rider?

Jack Miller is rumoured to be moving from Moto3 to LCR Honda for 2 years with a shot at Pedrosa's seat in year 3.
I think its a very bad decision for him. He could make me eat my words, but I think the jump from Moto3 to MotoGP will hurt him. He has a lot of talent, but from what I've seen of him this season I don't think he's ready. You watch, 2016 they will say his performance isn't where they expected it to be, and they will name Alex Marquez to take over Pedrosa's seat

Who's going to Indy??
Still too early for Maverick I think as well, but time will tell... he is doing pretty well this year.
