A Marquez likely to stay at Gresini. Miller apparently done dirty by KTM who said they would keep him them hours later signed The Beast Miller has had very occasional flashes but very middle of the road most of the time....even when he was on a Factory Ducati. Riders out of contract in 2024. Alex Rins Joan Mir Jack Miller Alex Marquez Franco Morbidelli Fabio di Giannantonio Miguel Oliveira Raul Fernandez Augusto Fernandez Taka Nakagami Must be game over for Nakagami?....the two Fernandez maybe?....Morbidelli might get lucky (again)....AMarquez will be ok bc he's a Marquez, at least for 2025. |

I can see Rins at Pramac if he doesn't stay at Monster
Mir seems to have changed his mind about retiring and is now desperate to stay with HRC
Miller has spent all season cknowledging that he needs to make way for Acosta, so what did he expect? Go to WSB and enjoy it.
Alex Marquez, as Beefus says.
Franco Morbidelli appears to be on the list to replace Bez at VR46... go figure...
Di Gianananananantonito might stay at VR46 I reckon (not read anything just my opinion)
Miguel Oliveira could end up out I reckon, his only chance is Trackhouse and I suppose he has more probability than Fernandez to stay, but stil...
Raúl F. is going to struggle to stay in the game, his seat is all but gone to Roberts and unless a Honda comes free and Toprak doesn't want it, difficult.
Augusto F. Also out, as Beefus says.
Naka out unless Ogura decides to abandon HRC, in which case he will probably stay for passport reasons.
That's my take, but I am always wrong!

Mir signed up for another 2 years with Honda. What a mug. All these 2 year signings mostly take up 25/26 seasons so no Toprak seats.

Ogura to Trackhouse is a bit of a shocker!
I really thought Roberts was a done deal. Good to see the team rewarding riding ability above passport for the contract though. I guess that for Dorna, a quality Japanese rider is almost as desireable from a marketing perspectve as an American.

VR46 will be the factory supported team from next year…. 1 x 2025 bike and 1 x 2024. DiGi on the 2025 and Morbidelli on the 2024. So Ducati will have 3 x Factory and 3 x Satellite bikes on the grid….

Crash.net kicking are rumours about Dixon joining Pramac Yamaha, but they're just regurgitating Guintoli's thoughts from the British GP last weekend.

Fuck me. Dixon's swallow certainly doesn't make a summer. He is not motogp material.

So...looks like Miller to Gresini. The Bautista WSB talks seem to have ended with him backing down on the wage demands and possibly signing for 2 more years (not sure why they bothered tbh) that avenue was gone and a few places have stated Miller is definitely still in GP in 2025.
So just Pramac left to sort out?
Rossi seems to be crying that Marquez got the factory Ducati. Maybe he can see the possibility of his title haul being surpassed.

Marquez took a risk and ended up playing a blinder….after half a season on the Ducati he’s the best of the rest and on the ‘23 bike, maybe Rossi can explain why Morbidelli is more deserving of a Ducati ride……talk about underperforming.

Rossi shouldn't be signing old hands to the team. I thought it was for young rookies?

Dorna/liberty whatever being wankers. Apparently the Suzuki slot is gone now and BMW would need to buy a team slot from an existing team.
Fucking stupid or what.
