MotoGP 2025

Yeh I get that it but adding a previous incident as an excuse for the second doesn't excuse the bullshit, it only makes it worse in my mind.

Thank heaven that shit didn't go on between Ducati and Pramac I'd never have paid for another MotoGP subscription.
In fact in MotoGP and the 2 wheel world bolstered HUGE respect for the Ducati brand.

Riders in MotoGP have done other riders favours, liken paying back a tow in qualifying (can't think of any race wins being given up off the top of my head). If it was team orders then yeah I'd agree, but this was just two racers being good dudes to each other (and against team instructions).

You kids are probably too young - but the classic is Ivy/Read in a 125TT in the IOM. Read supposed to win - leading the points.
Ivy not happy so went mad on the bike and did the first 100mph lap on a 125. Leading when he pulled in to a group of spectators.
Asked who was leading, lol , then yawned and rode off again. Having lost enough time for Read to go through.

Made his point I think - which didn't go down well with Yamaha.

Lando giving up the lead in that race wasn't team orders (in fact they told him to hold his place), it was him paying back Oscar for doing the same for him in Brazil. It was a gentlemanly act.

It was utterly pointless and could have gone badly wrong. Neither driver looked very happy afterwards. The worst though was Max whinging about Lando not slowing down for waved yellows that he hadn't seen. Just shows you the mentality of the guy.

Back to MotoGp :P Here's a quote from Lorenzo about MM:

��️ "Marquez is a beast and the only rider who will not tell you he likes to fall because no one likes to crash," said Lorenzo, as reported by Crash, Tuesday (3/12/2024).
��️ "But he's not afraid of falling, that's what's unique about him."
Lorenzo saw Marquez always wanting to be the best even when conditions were not in his favor. That's what makes him not like a normal racer.
��️ "He always wants to win even when he's not in top condition. On the circuit, even when the bike is not working well, he's still ambitious, he always wants to beat you," Lorenzo explained.
��️ "He thought he was going to fall, but he was not afraid to fall, in this sense, he is very unique," he said.

He wants to buy a MotoGP team and had discussions with Gresini. But I doubt that the racing part of KTM is actually for sale at this time.

Remember it's now like F1 where if you can pick up a team with their existing right to compete, you can change manufacturer as you choose.

Once you've got a foot in the door and belong to the limited number of teams allowed, you're in.

Just popped back on the forum to say: MM champoin 2025 or GTFO, that's coming from someone who is a big doubter of his, I see him gapping them fools this year big time on an equal bike. Unless KTM step it up and give Pedro some gangsta stuff

Interesting interview with Frankie Cardedi about MM, some rookies etc.. very interesting. Especially the comment that MM is calm... even when stuff is going wrong.

thats plausible when you think how he copes with the flag to flag races.He seems unflappable.I wonder how Alex M is going to go .He had some good showings on the GP 23.Is he going to get a 24?

I think there is 3x 25's and 1x 24 - and I think Am gets the 24, which he was very quick on.

Carchedi said that MM's belief in what he can do is surreal. He also said that MM is a level and a half above everyone in left hand tracks. He said they can see how he does it, but no one can replicate it on the track. He also said that by the end of the season MM average right hand fast corner speed (his weakest point) was fast (he implied faster than everyone if not the same).

Next year is going to be hella interesting. Pecco v MM, AM v Pecco and MM, Pecco MM and AM v everyone else.

And Digi has a 25 too

Yep, MM, Pecco, and Digi on 25's and AM on a 24.
In another video I watched, this guy pointed out that every time MM has been partnered with someone "good", like a dream team scenario, he just kicked ass. But then, it was the honda.

This time might be different because everyone is expecting the duc's to still be a step ahead of everyone, and Pecco can be fast enough because the bike wasnt specifically designed for MM.

However I am suspecting that this year Ducati are making it so the bikes can be way more tailored to a rider, hence MM's avg RH corner speed increases on the 24 - the 25 will be even more flexible.

Its either gonna be really exciting, or a one horse race... lol
