MotoGP | 2023 | Silly Season

Elias had a second run in Moto GP before going to WSBK, if I remember correctly.

 

Miller never rode in Moto2.

 

MotoGP commentators here said again today that Aldeguer has several offers to move up from Moto 2. But for 2024, not next year.

 

Oh, and Paolo Ciabatti said on French TV that they are going to watch things for two or three more races but they hope to keep Zarco next year. Much more interestingly, he said that even though Quartararo is a great young rider, the future of Ducati is currently within the Ducati ranks and they are not looking to hire from outside at this point. Lastly, Randy DePuniet said that Martin is a lock for that factory seat next year and that Bastianini is going after a Suzuki seat.

 

Where does that put Miller? <rhetorical>

 

Australia, drinking a Foster, or fifteen.....

 

Aussie's typically don't drink Fosters -- prefer VB. (I like Cooper's Sparking.)

With the imminent demise of Rins on hold, the Suzuki seat would have appeared to dry up.

 

Pramac seems most likely.
He actually said recently that he doesn't mind returning to Pramac, almost as if he already knows the factory seat is gone.

 

I'm not convinced he is as safe as you seem to think he is.

 

I am not at all certain that his crashing out of second place with four laps to go will not return (maybe even this week), and with it, the on again off again open seat at Suzuki.

 

I hate to say it but I think Mir is the one that goes at Suzuki I think if Honder calls, he will go.

He maybe good, humble and smart but he rarely shows that "killer mode". You'll see it every now and then but not enough. Yes, he can and does slice through the field at the end of the races but is that him or the bike being easy on the tires? I don't think he'll get another championship no matter where he goes. I hope I am wrong....

 

Are you talking Mir? is so, You must be mistaken

 

Miller probably back to Pramac.
I almost don't see why Beast would leave Gresini, other than money.
Wonder if Morbideli is going to be the one looking to leave Yamaha for greener pastures.

 

1)Yes
2)Money is very nice
3)FTFY

 

I don’t get why riders are not lined up to try and get a rider at Suzuki? Yeah, money is probably better at every other factory team and maybe even pramac but the bike and team punches way above what they should be able to.
And why someone like gresini is not trying to get their previous year’s bikes is insane.

 

Why would gresini want the Suzuki when they have won races this year and would be leading the championship if their rider didn't throw it down Sunday?

 

well he did hurt his wrist in a fall on Saturday, so he wasn't in the best shape to start with

 

I'm not hating on him he's been amazing this season, just saying he's a strong rider on a strong bike out performing the factory bikes I wouldn't be changing much if I had the choice.

 

Add Iker Lecuona to the list of 2 years in MotoGP and got flushed.
