Sepeng times will give a better overview.
I suspect Vinales will top Sepang ...I do like Vinny but he's just not that good when it comes down to getting the passes done.
Binder...Oh Binder...animal....hopefully Miller will get his groove on.
Bez vs Marquez...well worth watching for those two.
Pecco vs Martin...as above.
Acosta...that's not bad for a first try on a big bike.
Concessions...Nobody really wants them but they did serve a purpose for KTM/Apilia and Suzuki. There are a few tiers with each offering extra goodies.
Extra engines. Engine development. Aero changes...Extra test tyres...More tyres..Choice of track..Test riders only or test rider with race rider(s).
I have no allegiance to a rider or team...I rooted for Rossi and Lorenzo and Pedrosa and Stoner when they were the underdogs...so okay I support a highly likely not to win rider....but they must have a sniff of a chance.
Still want Takaaki Nakagami to win a race.
Every year begins with high expectation yet more often than not can be all over bar the shouting too early. What I think we can expect is for the difference between 1st and last to be closer than previous years....Showing my age... I can remember when racers getting lapped was regular. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

I have to get that so I can watch SBK and BSB here in Ireland. Unfortunately the MotoGP option is removed for Ireland. So to (legally) watch F1, MotoGP, BSB and SBK next year, I have to pay for three streaming services. It's all getting a bit expensive. |
This winds me up too, ok i can watch BSB and WSBK for free(ish) on Eurosport here in Blighty, but to get any other form of motorsport it's either a full on Sky Sports add-on, which includes loads of sports i won't ever watch (foosball, tennis, cricket etc), or pay for indivual passes
Why do none of the TV suppliers offer a Motorsports package?
Anyway, and again slightly off topic, but will be interesting to see how the new weight penalty system works in WSBK, ok it was a 3 horse race this year, but at least it was 3 different manufacturers, i fear next years MotoGP will turn into the Ducati Cup ____________________ Current Bike: Honda CG125 ES4 // Honda CB600FS Hornet // Triumph Street Triple R |

The others got better.
The Honda in the test was pretty good unlike Yamaha.
If Gigi is to believed the 2024 factory Ducati is yet another significant improvement over the previous one.
Not heard much from KTM and Aprilia but they’re not known for being difficult to ride these days, or slow.
Yamaha… fingers crossed for them. Post test interviews were subdued. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Really looking forward to this weekend. First practice whetted the appetite.
Then watched the Jake Dixon diaries… hmm interesting. Wish him well but by heck he’s a fragile type in a sport where the steely ones thrive.
Fingers crossed for the fella. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Liberty media are the new owners.
From what I can glean they're not in the habit of buying cheap and selling. Fingers crossed.
