Crash has him "rumored" to go to Honda superbike squad. I would imagine the pay packet would need to be quite substantial as I cannot remember the last time Honda had a competitive superbike?Originally Posted by iYRe

The Rins one is interesting, Rins does not seem to be gelling with the Yamaha, and Jack by all accounts is a great bike development rider.
Stay tuned I guess!

Yep, same place made another interesting comment. Pecco requires a lot of data, but remember what Crutchlow said, the more comfortable MM got with the bike, the less useful his data becomes - they can see what he is doing but they cant replicate it, so effectively Ducati are one Ducati less for useful data - only leaving 2 Gp25's.
That might explain Pecco's problems.

I'm not sure why Ducati went with the GP25 as it is hard to see any improvements that make it a better bet than the GP24 - they probs should of stuck with the 24 me thinks.

Far Be it from me to give a MotoGP rider tips but maybe he should stop over thinking it and just ride the bloody thing
Prob right but you don't know till developments get on track, its that bloody stopwatch, it never lies

It seems to be a common theme, the other guy riding the Gp25 who's name escapes me right now appears to be having the same problem, if not worse.Far Be it from me to give a MotoGP rider tips but maybe he should stop over thinking it and just ride the bloody thing

I feel it is not without some irony that the very first year Marc is in the factory team, they produce a bike that is more difficult to ride than the last 4 odd derivatives of their machine

I like him, but he needs a slap and time out to get some life skills..
Never meet your heroes. They won't as down to earth as Crafer for example.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Mat Oxley suggested that part of the problem for Ducati was they hadn't raced there for years and had no data for their AI data analysis. Digia was absolutely nowhere, but he has struggled at some tracks this year.

It had been resurfaced in that time and was wet a lot of Friday. No much data.

Pecco in Tardozzis ear -Psssst, I think it would be a really good idea if you gifted Marc a ridiculously powerful Motocross Bike

Sounds terrible.
Put him on a real dirtbike.

- Journalist Jaime Alguersuari"There are two Marquez. One is the Marquez Honda, the one who gave 98% of his life to a criminal bike. And now there is the Ducati Marquez, who is the remaining 2 %... but enough to erase the label of anti-Marquez circuits. Honda never worried about making a better bike. They had Marc. And Marc gave everything, his talent and his life. Nobody today in MotoGP is willing to do that."

That's a bit harsh.
For a start there's Alex who demonstrably a Marquez.
But for effort Fabio Q is every bit as willing to give it all.

This is me just thinking out loud. But I think Toprak is moving from WSB to MotoGP at just the right time. Give him a year to bed in and then I think there will be some great racing between him and Marquez.
What you lot think?
Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
. . . That shit's Nasty.

I reckon you are right. Toprak can learn the tracks he has not raced on, learn what all those fan-dangled extra buttons are that his superbike does not have then when the bikes reset for 27 - POW, he can be ready to rip - and on the pirellis that he is used too to boot!Well assuming the motogp tyres are similar to the superbike ones.
