Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, and Dani Pedrosa have all made headlines over the course of the winter, sometimes for their performance and sometimes for paddock gossip, but headlines nonetheless. Rumors of Marquez replacing old-man Rossi at Yamaha spread like wildfire over the holidays, before being squashed by Marquez signing a two-year contract renewal with Repsol Honda in late February. Yes, he waited that long.
Honda's second man Pedrosa has largely flown under the radar (per usual) through the winter, and Ducati's prodigal child, Lorenzo, will spend 2018 most likely further getting accustomed to the Italian squad. The former Yamaha superstar performed exceptionally well during the first pre-season test in Malaysia, but he and his Ducati Desmosedici GP18 were plagued with issues, mistakes, and overall bad luck during the second and third—much like his countryman's Fernando Alonso F1 testing in Barcelona.
