Just a random thread to bring up something about 2020 that probably doesn't deserve its own thread.
1. Without Marquez domination the championship wasn't anymore interesting. I put that down to the championship protagonists never fighting for the championship with each other. The second half...
Some of you may already know I just recently started following MotoGP or even Moto3 for that matter. My question is the point system for championship. Today Marquez has won the race and was crowned world champion.
My question is there are still races in the season how is Marquez the winner? Is...

In the wake of F1 going full ...... on manipulation of competition, the question is being asked. Should Moto GP change their points system to enhance end of year interest.

What if Rossi really can,t get to grips with the Ducati.........................
Some say Rossi and Melandri have similar styles and here is Melandri predicting no good fortune for Vale
Whether that would be successful is another matter altogether, Melandri noted. "I don't know whether he...
I predicted that he would win by at least 100 points. The points lead has pretty much grown every round, its been a consistant upward trend. Rossi may claw back 5 points in a round then Stoner would demoralise him and put 20+ points on rossi in 3 straight rounds.
I think he could reach a record...
since nicky hayden won the world championship i have read countless debates on weather or not he deserved it because he only won 2 races ect, to be honest i can see both sides of the arguement.
so my question is,,is the current points system fit for purpose ?
should there be more than a 5 point...
Hi Ben
I'm considering my comming strategy here and wonder about a few details.
How is the points for engine and tires calculated. Are all riders with an engine or tire brand with points calculated or is it limited in the same way as constructor points usually are limited to a maximum number of...
