My favorite Moto3 lifer ain't no more.
It's understandable though, if a team has the chance to hire a major talent like Guido Pini it gotta take that chance.

See ya in SSP Tatsu.

Will they make a motoGP one? It is starting to look like we need a few more factories in there.

The argument against giving the Suzuki slots to KTM was that they were saving the slots for a new manufacturer and then they told BMW that they would need to buy slots off an existing team

Toprak appears to be looking at MotoGP for 2026

It appears that Liberty Media's takeover of MotoGP may run into problems in the EU, with there being a concern that if Liberty Media owns both Formula One and MotoGP that it would create a monopoly.

With Lukas Tulovic losing his ride in MotoE, Stefan Bradl no longer doing wildcard appearances and no young dude with a Moto3 wildcard in sight, we're looking at a 2025 season without a single German competitor.
According to Motorsport aktuell, this hasn't happened since 1952.

Sounds like Jorge hasn't gotten on that well with Bezz either.

Fair pounts though. As the champ he will be the reference and has marked out his new turf.

This is surprising. I felt sure there would be dome rider somewhere, but no. With Kalex Germany has a sizeable presence on the grid in terms of my honest. But, no riders? Is there anyone up and coming?

Maybe Fynn Kratochwil but he's like 14 so we'll have to wait until at least 2028 it looks like.

Don't see anyone else with a realistic chance .

One of those two stepping in for an injured rider is our only chance at someone racing in a GP in the next 3 years.

No way they're gonna be full-time in GP racing again though.

Looks like they were hoping to debut it this week at Jerez but it wasn't ready, so it looks like its debut will be at Sepang at the shakedown test.

Also, Trackhouse have signed Gulf Oil as a sponsor. Opportunities for an iconic livery!

Hey @duc why is my message "pending approval"?

I have 1000s of posts here, if this forum is starting to go the way of not allowing links I'm going to be annoyed.

Odd. My last few tens of posts have just been me posting Crash links, and I've had no problems. I use a computer, not a phone, however.

Joan Mir thinks that the concessions have helped Honda not one bit. And that without concessions, they woud be in about the same place as they are now. Joan Mir makes glum assessment of how much MotoGP concessions helped Honda

Yamaha's Massimo Meregalli believes that Yamaha are 'pointed in the right direction'. But, 2024 was Yamaha's worst season for a very long time. Yamaha 'saw light' at the end of “longest season ever” in MotoGP

Honda needs more Zarco and less Mir !

Mir is saying what Marc would be saying if he were still there. I know Mir hasn't been the best performer but Honda need a kick in the butt now, not just sweep everything under the rug.
