MotoGP 2025

It certainly is a different type of racing but you do get more overtakes and closer finishes as well. It doesn’t have the same big character energy that F1 has and that might be a miss. Especially since they heydays of Stoner, Rossi, Lorenzo etc and for what it’s worth it has SAn riders throughout the series (Brad, Darren and Moodley)

do you have a bike
 
I think brad sealed his 2026 fate today. Just too many mistakes

Are there rumours? Cos Maverick and Enea aren’t exactly lighting it up and Pedro has also been inconsistent

There is still no guarantee that KTM will be around in a season or two.

If the grid shrinks, he is going to crash himself out of MotoGP.

Pedro is safe, he'll be snapped up by someone else. He is still very young and will be given benefit of the doubt because the bike isn't the best. Brad making a lot of mistakes may even help Pedro find a ride because people will see the experienced rider, one who had built a reputation for being consistent, struggling and making mistakes while the younger rider is bringing it home.

Looks like Toprak is moving to MotoGP from WSBK

Now we'll see if MotoGP contracts are worth the paper they are printed on. Jack Miller is out of contract for next season but he is performing at a superbly high level this season (Aragon aside). Do Prima Pramac honour Oliveira's contract and ditch Jack, or do they recognise that he is pushing the team forward.

Unless of course, they are banking on Oliveira getting back up to speed after his recent injury run, which is also fair enough.

Maybe its a swop with Oliveira going the other way? He really hasn't liked that Yamaha and yes hes been injured a lot through no fault of his but yeah
 
It’s race week

Well, guys coming from WSBK to MotoGP rarely do well, whereas MotoGP guys who goes to WSBK do win titles there and do well.

I think expectations of Toprak next year must be very tempered. He has a world of stuff to learn. World SBK bikes are analog dinosaurs compared to the digital monsters in motogp.

Where he will be stood in good stead is in 2027 when the MotoGP bikes move to Pirelli rubber which is what the World SBK bikes are using now. Sure, a lot can happen in a year from a development perspective (tires included) but he will no doubt carry a lot of knowledge into 2027 in that regard.
 
Shameless plug for one of my all time favourites

Desmo Dovi is an absolute legend. Him not getting one over Marc Marquez three years in a row, especially in 2019 I think think, really hurt.

100%, getting taken out by a team mate (Petrucci) when it really mattered that he score points :crying:. And a few other pieces of "bad luck".
