Gigi has also seen the data of Marquez on the 2023 bike.

Martin can always return to Ducati sometime down the line.
He’s young and fast.

Personally would’ve preferred it if he’d stayed with Pramac and beaten them all… that’s if he doesn’t fall off in a good points position.
Let’s see if Pecco can keep his cool.

Those KTMs are all over the shop in terms of consistency with Jack seemingly having the toughest time.
Oh Honda… what can you say. They’ve got a mountain to climb, no talk about them leaving… phew.

He looks ecstatic.




Almost emotional

It's a masterstoke by Marquez but a slap in the dish for Martin .... almost feel sorry for him.

Be interesting to see how the rest of the year plays out - Ducati are sharp and cold when it comes to this stuff, likely it will suit Marquez.

I almost wonder if he dismissed Pramac to test how keen Ducati were .... just for the lulz.

Sounds like Bagnaia had little to zero say in the matter. Two very big dogs in that paddock.

One dog and one puppy, puppy is getting stronger, but the dog is still the dog.

No clue what I'm on about really

A puppy that has been MotoGP champ twice already? Some puppy.

We'll see when they're on the same bike. Looking forward to it. Still this season to go though. I think Bagnaia will be champ this season, Martin Second and Marquez third. Will be fascinating. Love the motogp Very Happy

Liked seeing Joe Roberts win the moto2.

Anyone see that piece on Pedro Acosta?

He’s got a new fan here.

Loving the anniversary liveries too. Even Michelin techs are wearing old uniforms.

Ogden…. Bloody Nora!

I would casually wear it, though

Jack Miller getting a ride at Pramac Yamaha next year. Good to see him still on the grid.

Marc's first race win since 2021. Does the sprint race count as a win? I fancy him to win tomorrow.

May well do, although he's just as likely to park in the kitty litter!

Yep, even on the last lap I felt he could end up down the road. Glad he won.

That incident with Pecco and Alex .... never seen so much hate posted or so much misproportion of blame.

Good race and a well deserved win. Whatever 'it' is, he clearly still has it.

I think it was a racing incident really, maybe a touch Alex fault. I've noticed some seriousy haters on social media sites.

I dunno ... my take was that going around the outside and then just cutting in like you own the place was considered a risky move.

Given he had everything to lose ....... and then he did.

If you're hanging off the bike and looking right and someone enters stage left AND they can see you AND they can see you're probably going to run offline, then surely at that level you'd do the block pass up the inside ...

Racing incident for sure but to actively throw the blame at Alex just seems a bit mental. Pecco was absolutely not holding back during interview either whereas Alex was far more pragmatic about it.

Could become a very interesting. Do you think Marquez could win the championship this year?

I put a bet on him at 12/1 a few weeks ago. He's now at just 4/1.
Bagnaia is 4/7 and Jorge is 5/2.

I only ever bet a pound at a time so not going to get rich either way Laughing
