In recent league history, players who ascend to the upper echelon of pass rushers usually make a solid case for inclusion in that group by their second season. There are certainly some exceptions. However, looking across the landscape of the league, many of the sack leaders are hitting double digits by his second season.

None of these riders had significant achievements or a distinguished record before, but they all demonstrated their talent and worth. The hiring of Marc Márquez breaks this policy of rider development, with Ducati opting for a six-time premier class champion (and an…
