    Tomorrow’s race feels like it’s going to be epic. This season is going to be one to remember.

    On equal equipment, I don't think JM could consistently outperform MM. And then you add in the marketing $$...

    MM93 is going to sell more bikes, but Jorge has a higher ceiling. Marc has already peaked and has a laundry list of lingering injuries. Not to mention the fact that he'll still be the #2 rider behind Pecco. I can only imagine that he'll get the same level of support that Enea, Jorge and Cal did as #2 riders.

    Been out of MotoGp for a good minute. I havent watched it since Rossi retired. I just heard about Marquez going to Ducati and wanted to throw in my 2 pennies. I dont think he will be competitive. Look what happened to Rossi and Nicky Hayden when they went to Ducati.

    Well, to be fair, Marquez has already been competitive on a year old Ducati. It took Ducati a long time to transition back to the larger displacement engine with any amount of success. To an extent, I think Rossi can be credited with some of the development that led to their success today.

    The top 4 bikes last weekend were Ducati's. Marquez was 3rd until the last lap on a satellite Duc. You can say what you want but he's got some wins left in him and I'm pretty sure we'll see it before the end of the season.

    MM has three appearances on the podium in the last four feature races. Same for the sprints.

    He's clearly got the new bike figured out.

    Didn't know that Ducati's was doing so well. Guess I better start watching more MotoGP.

    I thought he was going to be toast when he went outside that curb on the paint. Awesome race!

    That was such an awesome comeback. And yeah, too many moments at the end that was steering him away from victory, so for him to do it the way he did it, no doubt the American team in motogp will take him on. That would be bad ass, RIP NH

    Aleix gets his walking papers. Welcome to Honda test rider and sometimes wild card. Didn't see that coming.

    I'm still really confused by teams and riders going to Yamaha in 2025? The bike barely breaks into the top 10 nowadays unless there's a tragic number of wrecks. You rarely hear Quartararo's name mentioned anymore. What do they have up their sleeve in the 850cc coming that are making people excited? What promises can they be making? I'm just not seeing it.
