Somewhat surprised there has still been no announcement from either MM or Gresini. I can’t see him just walking away from Honda without a ride for next year already agreed. Andy
Paola Ciabatti was adamant Ducati were not in negotiations with Marquez. Playing devils advocate, I wonder, should Gresini sign Marquez, will it queer their contract with Ducati. Now there’s a conspiracy theory for you Andy
Didn’t work for Rossi going to Ducati now did it? Only Stoner had the talent to unlock a bikes potential.
Disingenuous comment. Rossi took a previously shit, sorry, unsuccessful Yamaha to a world title in the M1’s debut season and the RCV212V wasn’t the unmanageable pile of shit Marquez has been trying to ride for the last 3 years. Andy
Another week goes by and still no announcement of MM’s future or team and no announcement from Honda as to who will be replacing him. I know I shouldn't but I find that somewhere between odd and curious. Andy

That’s actually a quote from before MM announced he was leaving Honda. I really have no interest in MM, he could announce his retirement and I’d hang the flags out but my curiosity has been well and truly peaked (or should that be peeked ?) Andy
