2015 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW P90 latest long spell of dominance, reminiscent of Mick Doohan's five crushing seasons? Especially after he set the top time at both of the first tests of the new year at Sepang. Anybody? Well, maybe, just maybe. Lorenzo and Rossi are ready to try. But the teammates will have to get everything right, make no mistakes all year long, avoid taking points from one another, and have a good stretch of luck as well. And Ducati are suddenly back in the frame too. Can any thing beat Marquez? Oh yes. Circumstances can always conspire, and motorcycle racing can be very cruel. Doohan was ready to stretch on for several more years until injury cut him short. The same is true of Wayne Rainey, on course for a fourth straight win when he crashed for the last time. Never forget that Marquez's own career came close to being cut short in 2011 when an exotic eye problem left him with double vision that took several months to correct.
