I still think that Lorenzo was the contender anyway. Like I said his consistency is key and that's something that Stoner has never really grabbed (although admittedly this was due to jumping off the bike in the first season and then a mixture of reliability/injury/illness issues since). When that Yamaha gets better (which I'm sure that it will) he'll be doing the usual thing of winning all over the place.
