MotoGP | 2026 | Silly Season

Marc has proven he can be fast on a flaming turd.

 

I agree, don't think I will renew either. I only watched one or two of the first WSBK races. I haven't even been able to watch any Moto3 and very little Moto2 this year on my MotoGP subscription. Even MotoGP, I find myself skipping most everything except the sprint and race, and I used to love watching the other stuff. Mostly, I hope, because I've been extra busy since I lost an employee to retirement in March. Hopefully it isn't because I don't care? Haven't even caught any football for the past 3 weekends.

 

There are a few stellar WSBK races this year that you should watch before you let your subscription lapse.

 

If you don't mind, tell me which ones, and I will try and do that.

 

WSBK Portugal Portimao Race 2
WSBK Czek Most Race 2
WSBK Spain Aragon Superpole Race
WSSP France Magny-Cours Race 1
WSSP Spain Aragon Race 2

 

Thank you very much for taking the time to review, and list them for me. I really appreciate it.

On the Portimao round, it says plural Races 2 does that mean watch both races, or a typo and just watch race 2?

 

In WSBK they have Superpole and 1 race on Saturday, race 2 on Sunday.

 

I think the last one if that’s the round I’m thinking of. There was one where they accidentally uploaded the highlight recap labeled as race 2 so that’s probably it.

 

Aragon. Some great dicing.

 

Both races are good but if you need to pick, the last one is the best one.

 

+ Superpole Race on Sunday.

 

Is Michele Pirro replacing MM at the Australian GP? Isn't he kind of old!

 

Yes he is and yes he is.

 

He is their test rider so he is at least familiar with the bike. Rumor has it that buelega will be on it the following weekend as wsbk wraps up this weekend and there will be no conflicts for Nicola. Will see if pecco can at least finish in front of Pirro

 

What happens if Pirro beats Pecco?

 

It does? I thought there were two rounds left.

 

That would be spectacular. It would inspire the theories that Pecco is the red headed stepchild of Ducati since MM showed up.

 

lol maybe I read the story wrong but it said that he wouldn’t have any conflicts with wsbk.

 

Imagine he’s handily in front of pecco and his bike mysteriously quits

 

Diogo Moreira to LCR just confirmed. Supposedly a multi-year deal.
