I would have loved to see him on the Suzuki and Iannone on Honda

What i would love to see is Marquez change teams like Rossi did from Honda to Yamaha and develop a bike to his strengths from scratch ,otherwise i see him erasing all the records in record time with no worthy challenger in the Honda team.

This weekend I am rooting for AI29. Sorry Rossi

Happy to see jorge on top step of the podium. All it took was extra support on gas tank to regain his confidence. Intrested to see how ducati fares out in rest of the season.

I dont know why maverick still struggles. Hope to see him in championship contention as well.

Pirro having horrible horrible crash in home staright and coming next day to watch the race. Motogp riders really have thick skin.

Marc DNF made championship intresting. Pedrosa should retire.

Innaone had the winning race pace through all the weekend, but he was barely ahead of rins who was riding first time at mugello in motogp class.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

ripping ride by JL, and finally the elusive win with ducati, that too in italy....such a dominant one too, like he was secretly riding a ducati painted yamaha lol..hopefully this wasn’t a one-off, but even if it is, guess lorenzo doesnt care for it now.

good rides by dovi, rossi and also petrucci, iannone and rins...was surprised zarco wasn’t in the mix yesterday.

Very nice to see some peaceful friendly vibe between jorge and rossi, not so much between dovi and jl though.

HRC and Dani Pedrosa to end partnership at the end of 2018 | MotoGP™

yes its official, lots of speculation for the second seat at Honda..Miller/Lorenzo/Rea

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Rea? Really??

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

The merry go round becomes very interesting ,being Honda they would look at a safe rider to strengthen the team otherwise i think Iannone would be a interesting choice in contrast to what Pedrosa was. Anyway lot of upcoming young talented Moto 2 riders are ready to takeover from the older riders.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

Lorenzo will be on Repsol Honda next year. Smoothest rider and most aggresive one in a same box. Long live Motogp. Its good to be alive.

Re: MotoGP 2018 season discussion thread

apparently it's official, lorenzo to join repsol honda alongside MM..jesus, what a sudden shift of events, and must say, gutsy move by JL...hopefully JL will not be expected by the management to just be a second to MM like dani...would be rather good for honda long-term-wise to use two polarly differently styled riders to develop two differently styled bikes, i think thats what they're thinking about now...what a power team though, but it all can also easily blow up on honda's faces if the rivalry gets too toxic and counter-productive (to honda's plans)..solid twist in the silly season nonetheless..

hopefully dani gets a good ride though, either the new satellite yamaha rumored to be with petronas, or factory suzuki maybe.
