I don't really see a looser in all of this, KTM managed to get a quality rider out of this, Aprilia got the current championship leader. Maverick can probably stay at Aprilia if he wants to, Pedro signed an extension. Maybe Jack Miller is the odd man out.
Now who else moves up from Moto2? I hear Roberts mentioned as a possible move to Track House, but a satellite Yamaha could be an option as well. Could Gresini promote Gonzalez? Garcia is also having a good year.

If Yamaha does get a second team I would love to see Sergio Garcia in it. His riding style is just beautiful, and he seems to have a mature head between his shoulders.

We saw that last year with Zarco, once he signed with Honda there were no more updates so the same could happen with Martin
The GP23’s rolled out were all the earliest spec of the bike, perhaps this was due to none of the riders having 25 contracts? So MM signs for 25-26 and now there’s talk of him getting updates. Fits in well with a policy to protect IP

The first Iphone was made shortly before Rossi won his last championship yet his cult members act like he was relevant until his retirement.
The first iPhone has done exactly the same number of laps in the armchair racing league as you geriatrics.

You still in your mom's basement or did she finally kick you out?
Its funny you mention Rossi living rent free yet you only came here because the goat got the factory seat at ducati. Tell your mom to cook you some pizza rolls and chill out.

So the same year Rossi won his last race. Got it.
I am sitting. On my own couch. Something you will never do.
The way your self inflicted wounds are piling up makes it seem like you’re doing a 2020 Marquez at Jerez; which is pretty incredible considering you’re doing it while sitting on a couch.

There are a lot of things I can do from my couch just ask your mom when she brings down your pizza rolls.
And this is when I stop pretending I’m interested in the angry geriatric’s life.
Try again tomorrow with fresh material ok?
If he wins two out of the next three championships then he has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he's the greatest rider of the of the last 50 years (or maybe of all time), he would've accomplished one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history that won't get half the acknowledgement it deserves and he could still retire at the top of his game.
After 2022-23, I doubt he's willing to risk running the back of the field again just to have a long career.

Fresh material. Funny coming from a troll who has been gone for 6 years and comes back from the same old ......... A leopard can't change his spots and a Rossi fan can't change his yellow panties. Come back soon synn. Don't wait another 6 years. I have plenty more ancient boring insults for you.

Besides the Pramac and Yamaha joining forces, Viñales to Honda is another connection that keeps poping up.
The latter would make financial sense for Maverick, and in some way also sporting.
With Jorge inbound, he knows he'll be Aprilia's second rider, again.
At HRC, he'll be the numero uno, he most likely desires to become.
HRC, although pretty far behind the pack, can develop a competitive bike for '26.
That is not too far in the distance, and Maverick can keep picking up the € along the way.

Meh. Marquez is talented, perhaps the fastest ever, but Marquez politicking his way into the best team is much different from Rossi leaving the best team and building a dynasty at a manufacturer that hadn't won in a decade.
Rossi the man is lame, but his resume is still the best. Marc will need to win an 850cc title with KTM or Aprilia to achieve something comparable, imo. HRC are so terrible these days, an 850cc title with Honda might count
In the game of musical chairs, Honda have certainly not won any prizes. It's true that Mav is the best rider without a 2025 contract, but I'm not sure he's the guy to raise the Titanic.
I don’t see HRC going anywhere near Mav after his antics at Yamaha. The Japanese are pretty big on respect and honour and I can’t see them taking the chance of him bringing dishonour upon them. Mav is done as a factory rider in MotoGP when he leaves Aprilia.

I'd say Mir is the best rider without a 2025 contract. Mav is on his last leg. If he goes to Honda thats game over for him.
