But that does not mean Si Alien Baby will feel the failure in this year, because he was still on the list of candidate won.

"He (Marc) has won three of the four world titles last in the premier class to 1000cc. Now he is the defending champion of MotoGP, so it is logical that he is still the favorite. But as mentioned before, will all start from the beginning and all the drivers have the same opportunity to win, "said Suppo was quoted as saying in Corriere dello Sport on Thursday (19/01/2017).
