Rossi declines Ducati test ride https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1...orry-ducati-nightmare-they-would-me-test-bike
Why VR46 Mooney has the GP22 and not the factory bikes. Makes sense. They get the final GP22 and will have data and parts for the same bike now, instead of 2 different bikes and being down a revision from the factory bikes. https://www.motorcyclesports.net/ar...-have-a-factory-bike-in-2023-and-justifies-it
ROSSI’S SHADOW STILL LOOMS OVER MOTOGP – AND THAT’S A PROBLEM i know many aren't a patterson fan, but there are good points here. Also pointing to the declining viewership and race attendance since VR46 retirement, and bad MotoGP unlimited show. https://the-race.com/motogp/rossis-shadow-still-looms-over-motogp-and-thats-a-problem/
Anyone see that Acosta is set to test KTM's GP bike in Jerez? I'm curious to see how the young fella fares.
The parity that makes motoGP so unpredictable right now is going to be its downfall with more casual fans. Like it or not, only having 5-6 aliens that could win races is much more appealing to the average fan as they can get attached and interested with plots, storylines, etc. I bet many casual fans have no idea (or very little, other than "the guy who wins a race each year when it's raining) who Miguel Oliveira is other than his personal life is quite similar to the plot of many Pornhub videos they watch.
Some people still have issues with him marrying his step sister... They can't get the difference between sister, cousins, half-sister and evidently a box of Kleenex.

Well, if you have the skills, I guess that is a good reason not to ride for KTM. Even Honda, who drove Rossi away saying it was the bike and not the rider, realized with Marquez......they better pay up.
