A bit late, but let's take your nominations for the categories:

-Top five riders of the year
-Top three rookies of the year
-Top team of the year
-Top manufacturer of the year
-Best race of the year
-Best championship of the year
-Special mention award
-Coolest moment of the year
-Craig Jones Memorial Award for most spectacular riding style

Since I'm here, I'll go first.

Top five riders of the year

1. Toni Elias - ultimately dominant in the most competitive championship, what a comeback. He'll be up against it back in MotoGP but he deserves this accolade.
2. Jorge Lorenzo - the apprentice becomes the master, and a model professional to boot.
3. Kenan Sofuoglu - I wanted Eugene to beat him all year, and he's proved why he's a class act and will be an immediate title contender in Moto2 next year. So different from nearly everyone else in the paddock, and that's a good thing.
4. Leon Haslam - he and the team were way ahead of where the level of factory support entitled them to be and they nearly took it to the final round against a very potent Biaggi/Aprilia combo.
5. Ayrton Badovini - unbeaten in European Superstock 1000 until the final round of the season, earning himself a WSB spot alongside James Toseland on good machinery next year.

(Marc Marquez was very unlucky to miss out on a spot in my top five)
