MotoGP 2024

Stil hope Enea gets a good spot. I like his personality and he is good.

OxBom podcast, Peter explains why Enea would be a crew chiefs nightmare. He even commented that it took MM to come past him to wake him up,- and then he went to work.

It's one thing to be gifted. It's another to have the laser focus MM has to never give up and always be on the boil. Insert Rossi, Stoner, Doohan and others as applicable.

We've seen gifted like MV, and others, heck even Lorenzo in his final years, seemingly squander their talent by letting obstacles like, well, the bike under them, their team politics, tank stickers in the wrong place . .

I think he is going to KTM
Binder/acosta + Bastianini/Miller

From what I understand

There may still be one more surprise. Ducati has said the Pramac has not signed yet - you would have to wonder why the delay.

Agreed Pramac where saying only last week they will have the Ducati latest bikes bla bla.
But then silence???

[F5 Dave]

What riders do they bring to the table? Pin hope on two rookies?

[Reckless]

Just saw this
Acosta just has a way about him, Very refreshing.
I hope the cut and thrust of MotoGP doesn't change him he is a natural star.

Secondly why has no one out forward the idea of vr46 going with Yamaha are they still under contract? Wouldn't be silly for them.

[BMWST?]

Is the silence because Pramac are going Yamaha? Frankie will be back where he was.

VR46 said no to Yamaha. Probably a good move, as they may yet end up with the GP25 if Pramac doesn't sign with Ducati.

It could be that what Marquez really meant was that he wasn't going to a satellite team that might or might not be running the GP25 next year.

MV Augusta

If both MV and BMW indicate they want in to MotoGP, it'll be interesting to see if the setup can expand to fit two new teams.

I suspect this may mean the end of some satellite teams. Factories only.

[F5 Dave]

Well I have two GasGas machines so this is not good news.

That said, both were made in Spain, so that horse has bolted.

According to a few stories Rossi used to go slower to make a race of it earlier in his career. I think that came from Jerry Burgess, Lawson had a long term strategy for winning races as slowly as possible.
I think a crew chief nightmare would be Mamola who would fall off being silly. Second place in championship 4 times.
Or caladora all the talent but somedays he never even seemed to try.

[Grumph]

One of the most highly talented local riders I've ever seen wasn't fussed about winning, he just liked to ride.

Frustrating as hell.

Crash this week were saying that they think Ducati didnt outright offer Martin a factory ride because there was something in MM's numbers + Audi wanting it + his revenue gathering power that got it for him. They suspect there is something in Martin's numbers and his ability to fall to pieces at the end of the season that meant he wasnt going to probably get the job while MM was around, so he jumped ship before the decision, which means that MM got it by default.

He wasnt going to get it anyway I suspect for that reason. And now I suspect MM is going to get some special attention because he's a proven winner who is less likely fall off the bike because he's under pressure (he might because he is trying to win, pushing limits, you know what I mean). It is possible neither PB or Martin will win the championship this year.
