2019 Ciudad del Motor de Aragón

Both i would say. Either he should take a year of or finish 2020 with honda and move to suzuki in 2021. Rins to repsol, lorenzo to suzuki. Similar bike to yama. Dont think rossi will retire after 2020. He will probably ride until 2022. And with lorenzos style; the suzuki is perfect.

Suzuki has 2 good riders, both hungry for wins, I dont know that they will need or even want JLo (maybe if the start a satellite team). also the Honda is so different from the Suzuki and Yamaha, im not so sure that any of those riders would have success on the Honda. The one rider on the grid right now that might actually do well on the honda is Jack Miller, his riding style fits the Honda.

Along with the Asparagus brothers, mainly Pol!

Both very underrated riders, I can't see KTM letting go of Pol go and they have the money to keep him if they want to. Aleix might be an option for honda, its unfortunate that Aprilia can't do more for the bike.
 
Looking down the field. I think Enea Bastianini, Romano Fenati and Arón Canet physical physique would be best suited for the V engines bikes.
 
other then MM has anyone coming out of Moto2 really been able to ride a V4 bike well from the start? I kind of expected more from Bagnaia, Mobideli also struggled. yet those that stared Motogp on the I4 bikes did rather well with less power.
 
Oh ye, jack miller would probably ride the honda lika marc. He has been on a honda too. Dovi at repsol? I think lorenzo is leaving after 2020 and rossi riding until 2022. Marc will wrap up the title at the next round, leaving yamaha thinking wtf went wrong again this season. Their bike as been .... now for a 3rd season. With the way the bike performs now; i think rossi is more motivated to fix the problems. Also dovi cant have the ups and downs in a season. He has to be more consistent.

Are you talking Honda, Ducati, or both. Stronger physique ain't helping Petrux or Miller on the Duc. Tiny Pedro did fine with the RCV...

Dovi is having his best season ever on the duc points-wise. It’s just that Marc has been otherworldly this year and will probably destroy the points record in a season. No other rider in history would be beating Marc this year, this is probably his peak.

Honda, Ducati & KTM! Dani did fine because thats where he started & had a lot of time. The names I mention all have bigger upper body & are in the same size as Cal & Marc. Which would mean they should have good upper body strength to deal with the V4 bikes. Danilo Petrucci is just big & tall, Miller is a bit smaller than him.

Pretty much took the words out of my mouth. Yamaha isn't really that bad. It's not so much the other bikes they can't beat, it's Marquez. Other than Quarters, they just don't have any inspired riders on the Yams.

People seem to be too focused on Yamahas results without taking Marquez’s absolute dominance into account. The results themselves aren’t even bad, it’s mostly centred around the fact that Rossi isn’t winning. Yamaha is trouncing every Honda that isn’t ridden by Marquez, they’re competing strongly with Ducati and are comfortable in front of Suzuki. Their riders aren’t performing as consistently as their bike so some people are using the rider standings as the argument for the bike being bad. I believe the evidence suggests otherwise.

They’ve been on the podium nearly every round so far, at Qatar Rossi was only 0.6 off the win despite coming 5th. He might not have got the W or a podium but in assessing if the bike is ok at Qatar the result says it’s capable of winning. Last week Mav was a bees .... off being on the podium. After 14 rounds they’ve only been non contenders for the podium 3x. Ducati have been quite similar. We don’t even have to touch on how Honda are going without MM.
