What are your predictions for the season ahead?

I'm a bit of a Marc Marquez fanboy and hope he's successful at Ducati.

Looking forward to see what Jake Dixon can do.

I think it'll be a good season, Ducati's leading the way no doubt.

Looking forward to it this year. Will likely go to the silverstone GP, I had much fun last year.

Ducatti will no doubt dominate the season. I'll be interested to see the struggles between Maquez and Bagnia.

Hope Joge Martin can ride the Aprillia at a competetive level, as that seems to be the only chance of stopping a Ducatti white-wash. Even that will be a challenge.

No one else in the mix really. Ducatti are just so far ahead of the game.

Well, that was a bit of a statement by MM93

I know you can't read too much into a single race, but if that showing is anything to go by, it's not looking good for anyone not riding a Ducati again this season

Though Ai Ogura on the Aprilia put in a stunning effort for his debut, should give Jorge a glimmer of hope while he's laid up

And 93 didn't fall off during the weekend, for a change. Laughing

It was good to see Alex up there as well.

Paco seemed quite happy with 3rd.

Ai Ogura did well at his home Grand Prix. Faired better than Acosta.

Should be exciting.

MM looks ominous.

While I admire his skill and his determination to get back to top form after his injuries/operations. I really don't look forwards to the resumption of the MM show. An unchallenged lead with a procession following isn't very interesting.

The battles between Bagnia and Martin have been very entertaining.

Well, the one bonus from BSB & WSBK moving to TNT Sports, is that my freshly programmed Android TV stick will also allow me to watch MotoGP live now and not have to rely on highlights............. every cloud 'n all that

Oh, and if folk aren't aware, all the Sprint races this year will be shown for free on Quest on the Saturday

Great result for the Marquez brothers, Marc is looking ominous this season already. I don't think anyone will stop him, saying that Paco has better ytacks to come. Marc will be big favourite at COTA.

I enjoyed seeing Morbidelli gey on the Podium.

Fanrastic ride fro Jake Dixon. Do you think he could win the championship this year?

I must say, i was more interested in watching the Moto2 than the GP seeing how Dixon had qualified on the front row

He did a cracking job, and Gonzalez didn't have anything for him

Dixon just needs to keep his consistency, and i think he'll be finally fighting for the crown this year

MM 93 back to doing what he does best............ chucking it down the road


Dominat victory for Dixon though, looks like he has really clicked with the new Boscoscuro chassis, fastest in every session he took part in, he justs needs to keep his consistency up, as he has a few MM 93 tendancies too

I know it's not MotoGP, but some shock news the other day about the current Title winning BSB Team, OMG Racing, announcing it's shock exit from BSB

Quote:
Official Statement from OMG Racing – Tuesday 1st April 2025. Unfortunately this is not an April Fools.

OMG Racing are deeply saddened to announce that due to significant commercial circumstances beyond our control, the reigning Champions will no longer be competing in the 2025 Bennetts British Superbike Championship.

Since our entry in 2018, we have strived relentlessly to become arguably the strongest team in the series, and thanks to the drive & determination of Team Principal Paul Curran & the wider team, have achieved two Riders’ & Teams’ Championship titles, alongside the Manufacturers’ title with Yamaha in 2024.

This was not an easy decision to make, and I would personally like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Paul, Hollie & the entire team, alongside the army of fans that have supported our journey over the last 7-seasons, as well as our many long standing sponsors.

Alongside MSVR, we are actively pursuing alternative routes for 2024 Riders’ Champion Kyle Ryde, 2022 Riders’ Champion Bradley Ray, and Joe Talbot.

We will be contacting those of you that have booked VIP Hospitality with us during the next week to arrange alternatives or refunds as they wish.

Alan Gardner

Can't help buth think this might have something to do with the move of the television broadcast being moved behind a much higher paywall than previous years after Warner/TNT disbanded Eurosports and moved all sports currently broadcast on there to the TNT "family"

Less eyes on the sport, like incentive for Sponsors

But then their title sponsor, Grilla, another one of these non-existent sport drinks (like the whole Rich Energy saga in F1) that is only available to buy through Amazon, never really seemed like a stable sponsorship deal

Heres to hoping Kyle Ryde and Brad Ray find some other teams to race for this season[/img]

I've booked to go to Oulton (twice) and Brands so here's hoping Ryde and Ray get a ride somehow. Will be a bit flat if the reigning champ isn't in the field.

Yep, it will be disapponting if the reigning champ isn't even on the grid

And with the first test already underway without them, it's noot going to be the best start even if they do find a new team beore the season starts proper
