    I found it more interesting that Aprilia will now have 2x bikes on the factory squad + 2 satellite bikes, so the grid is expanding to 24 bikes. That's great!

    but why? so now we know who the bottom 4 bikes are, instead of 2?

    expanded grid with the race winning factories would be the move. i wonder who would actually want to ride those things since Aprilia couldn't even sign a rider to the factory squad.

    I look at it as a general sign of good health in the sport. I remember when the grid was 16 bikes and they were resorting to adding streetbikes to fill the spaces.

    Most likely nope. Gresini Aprilia (if they can find someone to pay), VR46 Yamaha and Petronas Suzuki.

    But anything could happen.

    yeah i was going to say at least it's more bikes, but this is the quality vs quantity scenario. I can't wait to see either Petronas or VR46 on some Suzuki's and the other on some Yamahas.

    24 bikes is a lot better then 16 but remember, Dorna is paying the lease fees for the bikes, in a lot of cases the manufacturers are paying the riders and the satellite teams are just searching for operating, spares and crash damage money.

    Some 'tarded euro phag is gonna get a hardon about Energy drinks and ban them. My bet is it will be some french salad tosser. Everything comes tumbling down if they ban the energy drinks.

    The Pfizer Suzuki (The Little Blue Machine), AstraZeneca Yamaha (We are always behind the others) and the Moderna Ducati(we are nothing but Modern)....I like the ring of those

    Dick pill, toe fungus oral spray and ear lobe lubricant money for all! :D

    Some dip shit is gonna bring up CBD money but that's a three legged card table for the kids on Thanksgiving cluster f@ck. Never gonna get off the ground 'cause it's a bigger scam then Rich Energy.

    Nice to know this isnt just limited to soccer players haha. If this is like the other high profile cases he will be found guilty and have to pay a hefty fine to avoid jail time!

    Rossi had the same thing happen to him in Italy. I think he ended up paying them like $30M+ Euros at the time. So now he just lives there since he pays the tax person.

    2020 robbed us of the Pedro and Lorenzo wildcards.

    I went and looked, he wasn't wrong about the Hopper part but it does smack of douche canoeing. I didn't read beyond that.
