Re: MotoGP 2016 Season - Updates!

MotoGP in Argentina this weekend.

Lorenzo might already have signed for Ducati goes the grapevine (No this isn't an April Fool Joke!)

Rossi completes 20 years of racing at the top. Sadly he side stepped the issue at the pre-event press conference of his fans booing Lorenzo and Marquez on the podium.

Night Races. I mean the races will be at night IST!!

Money! And maybe having the chance to win with a brand where the Doctor couldn't. Being one of the few racers who could win championships with multiple brands. Lots of reasons actually. But i still believe that he has even more reasons to stay with Yamaha.

Let's see how it all pans out.

The question is if Lorenzo does move to Ducati in 2017. How much support will Yamaha give him this year in the championship. Especially if he is fighting Rossi for it like last year. Obviously Yamaha would rather give more support to the rider they retain, rather than the rider that is moving out.

Re: MotoGP 2016 Season - Updates!

Maybe he will get championship at ducati next year. He is getting faster and faster. I mean he is the only one figured out the michellin front end and how to get most out of it. Everybody else is just nervous to abuse the front tyre now.

Will be interesting to see how arrogant he gets during press conferences for the rest of the season.
