Should be a good 25 season! I'm picking MM to take out the title as long as he stays healthy

You could be right but I think Pecco proved this season he is well ready to bang fairings.
I think MM's late kamikaze moves might cause some Issues.
Jorges where late but not bash you out the way late.

That table really shows the amzing consistency of Martin. When you see all the GPs that Bagnaia won ,yet still didnt win the championship.

MM seems to have an amazing ability to be able to make those late braking moves between the turn in proper and the apex. I would bet that nobody made more overtakes than him both now and in his Honda years. The frequency of his overtakes and the type of overtakes means its almost inevitable that some will result in contact.
There are at least four videos on you tube showing his races where he went from say 13th to 2nd. Just about all the overtakes are as described above. There is also one that shows one from The American round where he virtually stalled the Honda on the line but got back up to 6th or something. Again just about all the overtakes were the same.

Oh sweet jesus NO. Along with Liberty Media comes the bloody baggers as a support class....

Just when you thought the sprint races were the last word in irrelevant races....

Could be a great thing getting more American interest into the sport, I grew up watching the Yanks (and an Aussie or two) dominate the sport. I've got nothing against it being more European based now but change can be a good thing.

There's a good read on Motorsport magazine about Martin's championship. Definitely worth using the one free article per month to read. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/a...-at-barcelona/

Everything until the first race of 2025 plus the archive. That's what the email I received said.

Testing on now for those with the pass.

Ah damn, this is old news but not good for non Dooclatteries.

Wish they could have ban devices earlier.

Be interesting to see how riders getting the cast off GP24 improve this year.

[iYRe]

I'm guessing they will change something to some how improve it on the Duc's

That graphic really helps keep track of who is going where. I was getting lost trying to workout where everyone is going.

[F5 Dave]

Yes a good chart.

They made a huge leap with the 24 and it super suited the grippy rear tyre as it slumps down farther so can accelerate harder earlier this be faster down the straight.

As I understand, I'm only repeating what journalists who are actually there in pits with cameras say.

If they could ban shape devices then the other bikes would be closer I'm sure.

But while there is no new grippy front the 24s have an advantage over the 23s. The 25s won't be worse.

But what's dumb is that while Aprilia went all out with Aero and downforce, that didn't help them when faced with the device war they were not paying enough attention to maybe? At least twice we saw thier system fail last year. Maybe getting it reliable stymied optimisation?

Sorry I said dumb. I meant a shame. We need more competition.

[F5 Dave]

I think that the teams in real trouble are keeping old hands to see if thier bike improves rather than the lolly scramble of new talent.
I feel sorry for Moto2 etc stars as 'Why yes. We might find a satellite Honda ride". Read: end of career.
