Right now, Yamaha and Honda should rather partner with Ducati. Take the 22 duc and re brand it. They probably will get better results straight away. But more seriously: It is a red flag the day the Japs had to write a huge cheque to keep a winning rider on board, with a promise to try and get...

Will we see track records not really being broken for a long time from 27? Less power, but then suppose a little less weight too. Maybe they will be more usable. As long as we get a more level playing field. This one brand dominance is just ridiculous, but then it did not arrive on a silver...

Suzuki won the opening round of the FIM endurance WC at Le Mans, they have clocked 857 laps on the Yoshimura GSXR. 2nd BMW and 3rd place = Yamaha, Kawa 4th, Honda 5th. No Ducatis on the grid. oe lekker, vat so.

I cant help but feel that Asparagus for Aprilia, and Pedrosa for KTM have done so much for bringing their brands forward to a more competitive level. I don't get the same vibe from Crutchlow and Bradl. Unless there is a real problem with how well the factory/test riders interact. Who knows. But...

Mooi gedeelde stukkie oom Daan. Mens kort net n behoefte om te gaan ry, en nie veel meer nie. Fietsryers is meestal beskaaf as individu, maar in n groep verander in n drol. Maar hierdie gedrag is natuurlik nie beperk tot fietsryers nie.

Agree, hope they come back strong next event. Acosta is another alien. Competition is good, hopefully we will have multiple brands punching out again soon. Including Yammie and Honda.

Hate to say it, but the KTM have not been looking that bad in the hands of Acosta so far this season. But yes, looks like Duc have a consistent edge with aprilia and ktm trying to catch up.

MM93, 2 consecutive races in a very good position with no one on his arse and he bins it. Why?

True that. At some time, we might see 2 of them in Q1, that proceed to Q2,😉

Genade! That new Yammie is so quick it is scary. Pure coincidence that a Duc ends up in Q1, only to go blitz the top time and only allow one other bike to proceed from q1 to 2. Hmmm...

@sidetrack: please photoshop this, you need to add Pedrosa to the crying squad.

Slightly of topic, but Remy Gardner starting to look comfortable in WSBK on the R1. Did not smaak him much in Motogp, but at the same time I think his manager at that time was not doing him any favors.

Possible that Yamaha might bring out a v4 in 25? I dont know if this is allowed and/or possible. Yamaha decided to pull the plug on further development on the R1. Moeg vir the I4? Asking because I am just totally out of date with latest news/developments.

Toemaar die Rising Sun gaan hulle weer kom snotklap. En diep binne hoop ek Suzuki kom maak weer eendag n draai.

Interesting how a brand can be a force in multiple formats. Ducati was strong in gp, wsbk and think they did well in BSB too in 23.
