Second best Yamaha rider will be a good debut season…best Yamaha rider, outstanding. Anything else is just a noise with regards 2027. Pirelli have already said the design of the new MGP tyre will be completely different to the one they supply in wsb currently too.
Yamaha will be desperate to give TR everything he asks for to propel him to top Yamaha rider. Let’s face it, their best rider FQ finished ninth in 2025 and I am sure TR will beat that in 2026. A top five 2026 championship standing would then really set him up for further glory in 2027 followed by any ride he wanted in 2028.
This time next month we’ll be slap bang in the middle of the 3 day Sepang test (hopefully shown on tnt).
I want to see this in MotoGP….. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSxWvYhgfKz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
Just watching Qatar 2014 look at that leaderboard at halfway stage. Bradley smith still in the same frame with Rossi and 93 lol. We’ll be waiting a while to see that many British riders in MGP if we ever do again.
You can’t say the brits haven’t had their chances in moto gp we’ve just not been good enough and the current grid reflects that. Cal Slowes Redding smith Jake had a good chance until he kept throwing it up the road like the rest of them. And I’m not sure you can say it’s our development of riders either. Name me a better supported national series than ours barring the Spanish one right now. Meanwhile turkey has the most talked about rider in the world and a failed moto 2 rider is most likely going to walk wsb this year.
And I’ve just realised I’ve been sucked into watching three hours of 93 winning races by TNT. I can see where this season is going.
The only Turkish rider in WSBK this year is Bahattin Sofuoglu, and I can’t see him setting the world on fire on that MotoX Yamaha team
The. 2026 bikes are being unveiled in the next couple of weeks starting with Pramac on 13th. I wonder if ducati will surprise us all and not come out with the most boring livery on the grid (again). Surely we all want and demand a return of the white stripe?
Just been trying to pick my way through this Google translated gibberish https://m.gpone.com/en/2026/01/04/m...ezed-and-who-saved-the-most-in-motogp-in-2025 How did Jorge use 7 engines when he barely started 7 races? Baffling.
Fairly typical GPOne gibberish. The 7 engines were used by Jorge and Savadori, who substituted for him in 14 races. Andy
