    No Spoiler

    JM
    Apparently listening to the race braodcasters JM just wanted an extension to evulate the bike for 5 races like in his initial contract because he couldnt because of injury and and got a no!
    So he said bugger you I'm leaving.

    Great Sprint Race in the minor places Bring on the GP

    Faaaark! What a Moto 2 finish!
    Oh well, on to the Marquez brothers show ... where the fuck did Alex gain all his speed this year?

    You gotta think MM is the goat: drool:
    For us racers in the group, its pure mastery of all aspects of racing! It is his sorta Track but Fuck me how does he do it

    Fermin Algear that boy is exciting! What I really like about him is he manages to do it clean. One to watch.

    Still gotta catch Moto2 and to see how our Kiwi boy is doing on Moto 3

    He is not embarrassing himself. I think he can be onto bigger things in time.
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.

    Great move Yamaha! Toprak is amazing, hopefully his skills will cross over to motogp without too much hassle.

    He's gonna be a rookie... which is quite ironic considering his reputation. Next year could see him, pecco, MM, AM, FQ all battling for the front

    Bulega is moving to MotoGP in 2027 after a final year in Superbikes when he will also test the 850 for Ducati.

    That is two top superbike stars in a week! I'm struggling to think who was the last big name to go across from SB to Motogp, Spies?????

    Quite easy. He's on the best bike. There are six Dooclatteries, Three of them are 25s. All Three 25 riders are not as fast as they could be, just Marc rides around the problem like he did on Honda.

    So that leaves Fermin the rookie, and man he's up the front often, Morbidelli, again often near the front but he's good, not special.
    Alex is the best of them. He's always been good. Just not Alien like his brother. The 23 was hard to ride with the 24 tyre which suppressed all the above guys who were on them plus Bez and Digi.

    Marc was the only one who could ride around it, but the gap to the 24 on 24 tyre which Martin and Peco had was still a bit much.

    On 22 tyres the above all went better than with the wrong combination. 24 bike on 24 tyre is the best in 2025 (and 24).
    So Alex is showing his true potential at last.

    I suspect if you put Peco back on a clone he would be faster than Alex but not by much.
    Marc would just be annoyingly quicker still.

    What fun.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Might have jumped the gun on this as Ducati has not said that he will ride in MotoGP in 2027. But it's difficult to why they would want him as a test rider if that's not the plan.
