    Motogp like FIFA. We'll bring you a race and help you launder large sums of money.

    Well, that's one way to 'buy' Suzuki's Moto GP team, at a lower cost, whatever his salary. Now the HRC management just has to listen to him.
    Honder' and 'Zuki kinda listened to 'The Man' R.D. when they hired him to turn their US MX teams around, the promptly shit on him. Look at where KTM is now, world-wide.

    I wonder if MM is going to feel slighted in development. Rins and Mir have a working relationship with Mr Kawauchi.

    Kawauchi is a great addition to the team. I’m sure MM93 will welcome someone who knows how to make a bike actually turn and Mir/Rins gotta be thanking God the HRC turd has light at the end of the tunnel with him.

    But remember, at the end of the day, it's still a Honda. So don't start counting your chickens yet.

    Lin Jarvis doesn't want the world to see how much the M1 is going to suck ass this year, because they haven't done anything with it except a new camo paintjob.

    In a sport that is fighting to stay relevant, this was a really stupid move. Especially since travel plans and hotel accommodations were made a long time ago.

    yeah but..... Jarvis: “The camouflage livery is no accident, Yamaha is ready for war”. :Poke:

    Yamaha ready for hide and seek. Don't worry Jarvis, nobody will find your bike in the middle of the pack. Not a lot of tv coverage for 10-15th place.

    It's a test and the bikes are ridden by the test riders. I don't think it will provide much insight into how the season is going to go for one team or another.

    I feel like the biggest things tests tell us is that they don't tell us shit. I feel like damn near every prediction that came out of last year's tests were wrong except for the Yamaha being a pile of ass that only one person could ride and the '21 Ducati was still awesome.

    '22 Ducati: severely lacking development on there being strain between the A rider and the factory over it, potentially killing their season before it even started - they won the championship
    Honda and KTM made huge leaps and bounds in development - both still proved to be uncompetitive piles
    Suzuki got their top speed sorted out and were probably going to be the strongest contenders against the Ducs - finished the season mid pack in terms of manufacturers
    Aprilia was at best still only 2nd from the bottom - possibly the 2nd best bike on the grid if they can get their reliability issues sorted

    I'm excited for the Beast/Pecco battle. I hope Enea wins it.

    It will be interesting to see how Enea handles the sprint races. He typically has more speed at the end of races.

    Agreed. Makes me wonder, is he simply really good at conserving tires but can leap frog to the front at will if tires weren't a concern? Or is he one of these guys that struggles on full tanks and takes half the race to get in a rhythm and start making moves? Guess we'll see.
