I wonder if Ducati had advised that he was NOT going to get the seat? .I cant figure his or ducati actions. Surely JM isa better bet for Ducati. MM will only have a short future for Ducati.
Be interesting to see how he goes but i cant see him matching the top Ducatis for a while.
Races where goodsprint better and the Main race good.
I don't mind a race like that, don't find it boring as the skill level is still there but most can't see it unless they are bashing into each other.
JM got the shits I read.
From what I can put together he heard MM was getting the Red seat and went straight to Aprilia and said sign right now and within two hours they did.
Not sure how much is truth and how much is hearsay as Ducati haven't announced anything. Possibly because of the Enea complication.
I can see it happening as JM is a fire cracker at Heart.
Goodness knows what will happen next???
MM in red, MM at Gresini factory bike, Enea to Pramac with MM on the factory bike,
All we see is speculation

Not sure How well Vinales and JM are going to go? If Vinales stays there, much grumbling about his performances as well.
MM is certainly going to upset Bagnia in the red box. Pretty shit If MM dumps Red Bull after all these years but with another championship on the line all's fair I guess.
Then there is the Vr46 riders and Joan Mir looking at options.
Never seen it quite like this. Your guess as good as anyone's I reckon.
Another observation is what the fuck Honda? Loosing Repsol must have hurt big time.
Funny how they are still really lost and Yamaha seem to be making good gains, Go Figure??![]()
Do ya think even aliex can turn that ship around????
3 week break bugger
I think Pecco might just hunt JM down.

From GPOne, Bastianini to Tech 3 according to his manager. Martin to Aprilia is definite but no official announcement from Ducati.
Looks like Ducati really wanted Marquez and not the others. Not sure it's the best decision but it will certainly make MotoGP interesting!
Interesting to see where Mir goes. Pramac?

I think that makes it pretty certain MM to Duc. From what I understand MM is average 6 places higher than any of the other 2023 bikes, and those guys were giving PB and Martin trouble from time to time last year. Also, he has said there is no issue with Red Bull, so not sure how that works. Probably pause his sponsorship with him for a period or something?
And on top of all that, the money he will bring into Ducati will eclipse all.
Marquez forcing Martin out of Ducati shows he's still MotoGP king - The Race (the-race.com)
So the fact that Marquez has got Ducati to make that Martin sacrifice is one of the most remarkable things he's ever achieved in MotoGP - which is saying a lot.

Shows again that Ducati can be ruthless with their riders.
I dont agree with the premise of having the two best riders.They will take points of eah other like Rossi and Lorenzo whilst their competitors keep tallying. You need a number two like Pedrosa who is fast enough to interupt the others and on your bad day will still gather points for the manufacturer and team.
Done and dusted. Marc in red for '25 and '26.

I guess Jorge Martin heard it first LOL and decided to grab the Aprilia ride before it went elsewhere.
Feel a little sorry For Enea he is going well now and had a rough ride. I'd like to see Enea get the other Aprilia seat beside Martin. Vinales will never make the grade.
Be interesting to see how Pecco and MM go next year.
Seat free at Pramac as well. Jeepers who?
A Vr46 rider or Honda Joan Mir or a new young gun, they will all be hunting for another Acosta, Maybe Enea will beat them all to the tittle on the Pramac Ducati that would be fun![]()

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
So its official now, MM and Bagnaia - MM for 2 years

What I don't understand is why no one wants to ride for Pramac.

Honestly? I think because Gresini appears to be a better team, closer, more family like - and I think MM likes that. Pramac isnt red, and isnt like Gresini.. maybe?

Gigi's tells all, decision was made Sunday night he said.
That explains it, Martin went straight to Aprilia and signed we got the news Monday morning.

Stil hope Enea gets a good spot. I like his personality and he is good.

So you have chatter at a particular cct. You didn't have it last year on the '23 model.
Engineers, technicians, mechanics all feverishly trying to solve the problem before qualifying.
Who do you want in your team?
Info, cures etc will likely disseminate to the other teams. Eventually.
That's why people want to be in the Red team.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
