MotoGP 2025

[Grumph]

Yeah, there needs to be at least one inline 4 lol

I wish someone else would give it a go, kawasaki? I wonder how Triumph would go? Just something to break up the usual suspects

There's already speculation BMW could buy the team for cents on the dollar - and give themselves
an early start to the scheduled arrival in MotoGP.

Plus some good riders under contract.

Nah Triumph don't have VW money behind them and I want to be able to get parts for my bike in the future.

haha!
I want to get another Sprint ST, but I cant afford 800 in rego :/

From Mr Tardozzi:

"They take everything into consideration and there are graphs about everything. When I look at some of the data in the computer, it's obvious to me that this guy is showing things that no one before him can. In certain areas Marc is above everyone. He and Pecco have different riding styles, in some areas Marc is better, in others Pecco is much better. Pecco is unbeatable on the brakes - nobody else brakes like him.
But it is obvious that the GP24 showed its potential more and more from the middle of the season, because we found the right balance and the riders were able to develop the right feeling. It turned out that what Gigi Dall'Igna said during the presentation in January was correct. That the GP24 would be a step above the GP23. That's how it turned out, the performance was different. That's a plus for Gigi and for his engineers. And for our riders, who have developed the bike in the right direction. For example, we can see in the data how much better the GP24 was on the straights. But when we talk about corners, the question is whether the rider is that fast or the bike? We can check some things, but not everything. That's why it's impossible to say how big the time difference was per lap and track.
But we can take the risk because our bike is at the current level. And because the two riders of the factory team next year will be Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia. Nobody else has these two, only us. They will be very strong and improve the bike. That's why they are not afraid of KTM and Aprilia. Or Yamaha - I'm sure they will get better soon, they are making the right steps."

From Mr Tardozzi:

Exactly. Like last season, the only question will be who is the fastest on the GP25.

I was watching paddock pass and they were saying that unfortunately for Pecco there is more tracks MM is likely to be faster on. They also said MM is more devious and ruthless than Pecco and he will throw every thing at winning, because that's his nature. Pecco, I think, is more of a "new age guy" on and off the track, and that might be his undoing. I also think he needs a wide open track ahead, whereas MM can make that pass on the last corner after spending some time working out the optimal moment and place to make that snap attack. Pecco did get involved in a little 2 and fro with Martin, but I think 2 and fro with MM is a little more intense - his race savy and alien abilities just might push Pecco past the limit, if you know what I mean.

MM falls off, but he tends to fall off when it doesnt matter so much, but Pecco falls off when he is pushing it... maybe he'll learn that lesson from MM.

I picked up on that too Honda not even in the equation LOL

Very good insight that you might be right there or they will take each other out and KTM will win its first championship while going bust LOL

Hahaha yeah.. paddock pass said they generally expected Martin will win like 3 or so Sprint/GPs. Not sure whether Paddock Pass is reputable source, but they seem ok to me

Nobody can overtake like MM .He just seems to be able to overtake as he wishes. It isnt discussed much but I also think that he is very very good at managing the tyres.
Have upgraded some technology at Home. Have got android TV now and downloaded motogp app and just renewed with motogp,with timing pass thrown in for 139.99 euro.

I'll leave mine till the season starts I just have the app on my phone linked to No spoiler then chromcast it to the TV.
TIP
I found it important to link directly to the no spoiler section of motoGP or you might get a headline when going into the app on who won 3 hours previously.
Thats a real bummer LOL

I'm watching on a 10-year old TV streaming through a Chromecast from my phone. Works fine, and I can use my smart watch as the remote!

Maybe when we get 4k sports content I'll upgrade.

edit on motogp "In our official apps for iOS and Android devices, you can also set the VIDEOPASS section as your default page to access always without spoilers"

They are "pausing" work on the 2025 bikes until February - see the latest story on motomatters.com. KTM are in deep shit, who knows what will happen.

I'll bet Mav wishes he'd stayed at Aprilia!
