MotoGP | 2024 | Silly Season

Morbidelli, Nakagami, Pol E, and DiGi need to go away.

Bring up some new guys to replace them.

 

I would like to see Morbidelli on something other than the Yamaha. That thing couldn't podium in Clubman.

 

I haven’t seen a clubman reference for ages… thanks for the giggle

 

I'd trade out Morbidelli for Big Marquez or Raul Fernandez but otherwise agree

 

I'd hate to see Frankie leave the GP paddock. I think he's still got speed, and belongs there. I don't think you'll draw anyone better from the lower classes (Pedro excluded). Get Frankie off the Yammy in onto a VR46 Duc, and we'll see him shine again. I have no doubt about that.

 

"Filip Salac has been officially confirmed to move to the Marc VDS squad for 2024 replacing the WorldSBK bound Sam Lowes"

 

Is Fil at the sharp end this year or bringing sponsor dollars for the ride?

 

Paddock Pass pod thought Rins to Yamaha was looking likely. Zarco to Honda, Bezecchi to Pramac, Morbidelli to VR46.

 

He’s currently is 6th in the standings so he’s faster than about 20 other riders, so I would say he deserves a top ride.

 

I like it, except for the Morbidelli move. That dude should be selling gelato at the Mugello round.

It's a shame Zarco just can't find that little bit extra to win. He's had some great rides.

If Rins goes to Yamaha and wins... Would he be the first MotoGP rider to win on 3 makes?

 

Did Lorentho pull off a win on the Hondturd? I know he managed one or two on the Duc.

 

not even a podium.

 

Not even a top 10.

 

I agree, Morbidelli is on one of the weaker bikes.

Not sure that he has “underachieved” any more than the factory Aprilia riders. No one seems eager to replace either of them.

 

Woof I had to check, didnt think it was true, but you are right!



I either want to see Morbidelli on a Ducati, I think he has the speed to be up front.
or a move to WSBK on a competitive bike.

 

Supposedly Mir is trying to get on a Ducati. Bezz to Pramac and Mir to Gresini if it works out.

this is getting hotter KTM and Red Bull trying to get 2 seats at LCR for MM93 and Pedro Acosta.....stay tuned

 

KTM going with lcr for Acosta and Marc on a Husqvarna would be amazing and I hope it happens.
Mir to Gresini makes sense also. Not sure why bezz goes to pramac though.

 

Pramac will have access to the new bike

 

Gotcha I was under the impression they had the new bikes but it looks like they opted for the 22 for this year
