Just when Frankie Morbidelli thought he had gotten rid of the Yamaha... hahaha

I'm sure he will take a slot at VR46 though

Yeah, that is the likely move, probably alongside Diggia who has been performing well recently. That only leaves Gresini as the landing spot for Fermin Aldeguer

So Frankie remains at Pramac? With Yamaha?

No? Thinking of him back at VR46 alongside Diggia with Aldeguer and Marquez at Gresini. Pramac to then get two news riders, possibly Miller being one.

Aaah ok, my brain isn’t working ok today
 
Do you guys think the rumour of Lewis buying Gresini makes sense? And does it have legs ?

Ah ok cool. Wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility. He likes his bikes and maybe his impending move to Ferrari could have stirred some Italian affection. Would be an awful big ask of his time and efforts though, balancing his F1 career and running a motogp team. Unless it's for once he retires from F1...

Or perhaps taking a stake and leaving the day to day running to someone else

He did come out and say he loves bikes and the idea is interesting - let’s see how it plays out
 
Did Martin just lose the championship in the first corner? Long way to go, but this could come back to haunt him.

Good race though. KTMs just battled!

What a weekend of racing from Sachsenring. Nice to see Marc make up the places and Frankie also had a great race.

Hard to see where Pecco could drop it form now

No race for the next 3weeks, what a half season so far

KTM have fallen behind Aprillia in the last few races, wonder where their speed has gone. Hopefully the summer break brings some performance from them

It's bizarre. 14 seconds off Bagnaia at the end. So compared to last year, they haven't regressed, but they haven't improved either. KTM traditionally finish a season very strongly, so hopefully they can find some performance during the summer break like you said.
 
Also, what's with the break. There was a 4 week gap between Mugello and Assen, and now a four week break before Silverstone. I can only assume there was meant to be a race sandwiched in here somewhere (Kazakhstan maybe?) that has been cancelled.
 
MotoGP of Kazakhstan has been canceled.

The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports announce the cancellation of the Grand Prix of Kazakhstan. Operational and logistical issues arising from the earlier flooding across the region have rendered the event impossible to hold in 2024.

Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli will instead host the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix from the 20th to the 22nd of September.

MotoGP™ is excited to stage a second event at the iconic Adriatic venue, giving the passionate Italian fanbase a further opportunity to see the world’s most exciting sport in action. The Italian GP earlier this season became the second best attended Grand Prix ever at that venue, and tickets for the San Marino GP, MotoGP™ ’s first visit to Misano this season, are already forecast to sell out soon.
