With other teams & riders having more ambition for the last race of the season and Yamaha & FQ not having the right equipment this most certainly help Ducati / Pecco.
I agree XH. Next season will be a different case entirely. With MM back and hopefully a better Yam, more prillies and KTM looking good it should be a trickier season. My money is on MM. I hope FQ wins though as I tend to follow Yam in GP. But I dont mind Ducati winning. I think Enea will give Peco a headache. Hopefully we, the fans, will be the winners from a more competative season. I just want good racing. Can someone please kick that c*nt Alcoba out of racing. He's a dirty bastard.
Yeah the talking thing is nuts ..Lin Jarvis , Jack Miller the same . .. they talk as I'd they're trying to explain things to a foreigner whilst still speaking English . And accenting ' HIGHER ' at the end of a ' SENTENCE '
I get the ducati fast lane thing but we still had three manufactures in with a chance of winning the title with 2 races to go, i cant remember the last time that happened?
Excuse me for butting in on this one, but A.Espargaro fell by the wayside more than two races ago, which was a real shame as you said with three different teams fighting with 3/4's of the way through the season they all had a chance for the number one spot.
He only lost it by one race points wise which is nothing really. Yes we all remember the same problem with Senna & Prost, Hamilton & Alonso back in the day, it could be entertaining for us fans but also it could cost Ducati the 2023 riders championship but certainly not the manufactures. It's disappointing Suzuki have left the fold but hey they won it three times in what 93/2000/20, Kawasaki have won many titles with JR in the WSB's, perhaps they should sign up and fill the void.
2023 will be interesting, Mir and Rins will be out of the safety net of Suzuki's great package which could be the death knell for their careers moving to Honda. It will be interesting to see how MM goes against Pecco, Fabio, Aleix when he's had a winter to fully recover and Honda have more data to build a better bike. And I believe Bastianini will be in the mix with those names now on the red bike. Pecco/Bastianini will be locking horns vying for the No.1 spot in the team, we could see a return to the Rossi/Lorenzo wall at some point. KTM will be stronger, I'm hoping Jack will do well he's a likeable character and I think Ducati didn't do enough to keep him within the family. Yamaha obviously have to bring an engine, without it they're screwed, Morbidelli needs to really step up and help Fabio or beat him, 2 bikes is 1/2 the data, I'm not sure even with a faster bike that's enough especially when 50% of your data is coming from a relatively slow rider. Aprilia, what happened... It all kind of went south after Aleix knackered his ankle, I wonder of it's that or it's just the team just fell apart, wrong direction, lack of money as the year went on. I wonder if RNF are questioning their decision, saying that they've had another disastrous year, so it can't be any worse than Yamaha can it?
Yamaha? What about Honda? Yamaha need more speed, which they’ll probably come up with today but the Honda by all accounts is terrible to ride.
Ok i was a little out on the 3/4's bit but nevertheless he wasn't gonna will it this season based on that accident and other things etc.
Oh that’s easy he throws these expensive bikes up the track on a regular basis, Matt is cheaper than gloss and a sticker set.
