Ahhhh shit, Suzuki has soaked up two of the most exciting riders in the sport and is going to put them on bikes that, after two years of work, can't even manage mid-field pace, and blew up before the end of the race. It's going to be a long, hard season for those boys.
Looks like Crutchlow has made another monumentally bad decision too. The LCR Honda, with Bradl aboard, was well off the pace of the current Ducatis - and the GP15 is due to make its debut in the tests. Every time the man makes a move it's to a slower bike. A few more and he'll be Mike DiMeglio's team mate.

MM might have been given the day off testing but looks like alex is joining him for a maiden ride on a motogp bike.

The future
I must say MM was genuinely stoked. Cant help but think of what a great Dad (family) they must have!
MM fully open to his brother joining him in MotoGP to. I fully expect them to be together for Honda soon.
I feel a bit for Miller but with all his club and national racing he should have learned to control his disappointment better than that.
He looked gutted right through to his soul, but the bad results mid season came back to bite his ass. Sportsmanship is taught another up's for Father Marquez.
Miller is correct tho best race I've seen him ride.
Jlo will be gutted but Rossi was on a mission, good on the old bugger. They are still gonna have to do some work on that Yammy for next season tho. MM still fucked off and left them for dead?
One of the best season overall. We gonna share the subscription again so we can get it all. Quite hooked on those 40 min pre race interviews

now where's some dirt!
I wonder what the chances are of Alex replacing Danny at Honda in 1-2 years time and having a dual Marquez Repsol Honda team. That could make for some very interesting racing!

My thoughts exactly, he's already a part of the Honda family.

Official Opinion
Meanwhile, in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Periodico, the HRC Executive Vice President Shuhei Nakamoto has commented on the possibility of Honda one day fielding current MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez and his brother Alex Marquez in the same team.
Younger sibling Alex secured the Moto3 title this weekend at Valencia and will move up to Moto2 next year. On the idea of the two brothers one day riding together in Honda’s official MotoGP factory team, Nakamoto said, "the possibility exists and Honda can consider it, but we need to see how Alex develops. I can see them teaming up but not because they are brothers and that would be something interesting in itself, but because they could become the top two in MotoGP.”

One perhaps very small, but I think significant differences between the M1 and the RC213V (although it might be the riders, or perhaps a mix of both) became obvious at Valencia, although I had noticed it before.
Right in the middle of corners, both medium and slower, the Honda riders are able to dip the bike an extra 3-5 degrees and hence make a quicker turn than the Yamaha, and hence make up a few metres or accelerate a few metres earlier.
It seems that the Yamaha riders are committed to stay at a constant angle more or less, once they are in the corner.
In the faster corners the Honda riders are able to much more subtly moderate the throttle to get the rear out of line with the front and steer a tighter line than the Yamaha.
Added up over race distance, a couple of metres here and there add up.
Marc was doing this from the middle of last year and Dani is doing it this year, although it has not worked too well for him.
You can see it in the slow-mo shots too where they dip their bodies in the middle of the turns.
Looking at RdP riding the GXS-RR, his style is very much PM (pre-Marquez). This new Marquez style is being adopted by all of the younger Moto3 and Moto2 graduands.
