We can only hope!
I can see them entering the fray in 2027 with the new rules going in to effect.
Fingers crossed...

If MM93 goes to Gresini, do you think Zarco will go to the Repsol team? I think he'd be great for development. Hell, he's ridden pretty much everything but the Aprilia at this point and I'm not sure how good Mir is at development. I'm pretty sure Rins took the Suzuki to where it was after Ianone fucked it all up lol. Nice to see Joan Mir being fairly competitive again recently. I feel like he's one of the good guys in the paddock.

Quote from: SoCal250 on July 12, 2023, 12:05:48 PMI had a chance to do a few laps on the new track last Friday. :vroom:  What a blast! So smooth and grippy! First lap I had Bubba Shobert on a VFR750 in my mirrors almost the whole way around.
Dang Russ that sounds like a quote from 1985 or so! Hope ya had fun up there.

What'd you think of Stoner's comments after riding Schwantz's RGV500, Russ?

I was wondering why Franco Morbidelli hasn't lost his factory seat yet.....
I was wondering the same thing when the season closed out. He's been way off the pace the past 2 years after his awesome run in the 2020 season (2nd in the championship with 3 wins).

I'd like to think that VR46 made a deal to retain Franco through his contract with the rub being that VR46 switches to Yamaha in '24. Can you imagine how well Rins would do on an M1 compared to the Honda? There's gotta be a reason why Rins wasn't pursued and FM retained. I love Silly Season Speculation haha.

And there's this comment: "Tank autographed by GP legend Randy Manila" :umm: Hunh?
If you're gonna advertise a celebrity autograph you should at least get the name right!

I was once offered the chance to buy "Kenny Rogers' own personal race bike"
(It was a ratty ass RZ350 track bike) lol.

I literally shouted out when Pecco lost the front end! FQ20 was really lucky there in that he didn't get taken out by Pecco's bike. A big moment for the title hunt imo. Poor Aleix... but that's racing. Miller was on a mission. Very impressive.
Binder and Miller as teammates are kinda giving me those early 90's "Evil Empire"- Team Roberts vibes. Well...without the competitive bikes anyway lol. Definitely 2 of the top 10 riders.

I think FQ20 has an advantage in the next few rounds due to the fact that Pecco, Bastianini, Martin etc haven't ridden the flyaway tracks on a MotoGP bike. Fabio had some really good battles with MM93 in 2019 at those tracks. Now, is that familiarity enough to overcome Pecco's championship momentum and the huge Ducati advantage? Fuck, I hope so. I can't stand Bagnaia. I'm hoping for a FQ20 win but realistically Motegi is probably the worst of the remaining tracks for him.
On another note, how good is Pedro Acosta? A future superstar for sure imo.

Marc Marquez will return to the scene of one of last seasons best races, Motorland Aragon. I'm not expecting him to be at the front this year but who knows? I'm hoping Fabio can get a top 5 finish but that seems unlikely with the current state of the '22 M1.
Here are my picks:
ViƱales (it's gotta happen eventually, right?)
Bastianini
Marini

(Pecco shits the bed at the corkscrew before the back straight...)

Looks like a former race bike. Anyone know what chambers those are?
