The top 10 MotoGP riders of 2010
Jorge Lorenzo surprised everybody and took his first title in the top motorcycling category in dominant fashion. Toby Moody reviews the season assesses the class of 2010 in MotoGP
The 2010 MotoGP season was and wasn't a classic. It was a classic in that a kid at just 23 years old won the title, but not in that the majority of fans will remember it was the summer without their darling, Valentino Rossi, whose crash in early June took the momentum out of many the other side of the TV screens across the world.
Personally, I believe people will look back on 2010 with more respect towards Lorenzo in years to come because he will win more titles and he'll win them equally as well, whether that may be in dominance such as he did in '10, or with the kind of speed and race-craft that he used to win at Jerez this year. Besides, all racers stop racing sooner or later and the world keeps on spinning on its axis.
