All 3 former champions playing at the wrong end.

His chances are quite high, bike was like the previous Yamaha, easier to ride for any rider plus he is a good rider. I always thought he was quite underated in MotoGP.

Toprak and Rea undoubtedly talented, I believe so is Alvaro. Unlike in MotoGP where it is obvious all Ducai riders can perform, in WSBK only Alvaro is consistently on top. Even the other Ducati riders(especially his team-mate Rinaldi) admitted Alvaro makes the difference on the bike. He was also fast on the Honda but the bike kinda failed him.

Zarco leaving for Honda, ironically finished only 13th at the Red Bull Ring, one of his worse finishes. Marc Marquez completes his first race of the season. VR46 riders finish 1st,3rd & 4th, Boss must be very happy.

Ya the bikes seem to work here.

What a chaotic weekend. Moto3 was amazing, Moto2 wasn't as exciting but MotoGP was shocking. It was almost a full Ducati strike by EB. Rarely see Pecco make a mistake that early but so lucky to avoid the other bikes running over him. Hope all the injuries not so serious.

Congrats to Aprillia for a 1st ever 1-2 finish.

Yeah, that's a big surprise move. Who's gonna be in KRT? Big names mostly signed. Could be Rinaldi? Would be cool to have Lowes & Lowes as teammates. Maybe one of the Honda guys move over like JR did before, oh wait, I'd want Hafizh Syahrin in there, that would be amazing(wishful thinking).

I wonder where in the Championship Pedrosa would be if he was in it full time this year. Currently ahead of MM93 in the standings.

Morbidelli finally signs for Pramac Ducati, this means all VR46 boys on Ducatis next year. Boss must be happy.

Horheh got heat stroke? He looks physically terrible. Today non-stop race starting from F1 at 2pm all the way to WSBK at 8pm.

Can buy online, they used to sell it at KL Sentral the physical tix, not sure still doing that anymore.

BTW, crazy Japanese GP. meanwhile in WSBK, Bautista will have to wait for the next race to be double champion. Toprak is truly an amazing rider despite losing out on the line twice.

Ya, They probably could wait a bit more before ending it all. They should've given half points too imo.

That's the final piece of the puzzle. We will see how he adapts. He has never been on another bike. If Honda makes a sudden improvement next year then he'll kick himself in the butt.

Just noticed that it is 'expected' to be Gresini. Who knows he might be at KTM for all we know. KTM should have the financial means.

Bagnaia didn't make it to Q2, great comeback by Bez.

Great pole by Luca Marini.

I am also expecting MM to crash a lot coz he tends to go over the limit in initial FP. Who knows could be like the Beast, bad crash in the first race.

You jinxed it lol. Seems to be the trend for Italian riders. Strong in the first half then drops performance in the 2nd half, especially in Moto2. Vietti was like that last year, same thing happening to Arbolino.

Luckily they made the right call to switch the race. It was chaotic for Moto3 & Moto2. Nice gesture by Miller, Marini & Pecco to meet the fans at the side of the track.
