Beating Valentino Rossi into second for this award could be tough purely for the reason he has more fans than the rest of the grid combined. However, before you press the VR46 button, give some thought to the Marc Marquez, who had to entirely change his mental attitude towards racing in order to clinch a third world title.
It was also an unprecedented season for MotoGP as 2016 saw nine different winners. Britain’s own Cal Crutchlow won two races, Ducati won two races with Andreas Iannone and Dovizioso while Maverick Vinales came of age and was a podium challenger pretty much all year and then jumped on Lorenzo’s Yamaha and showed his potential.
