Yeah will be Fabio and Pecco I think again. I really hope Marc comes back in some form.

 

[Elk]

Agreed, but I think Marquez is done.

If the other factories don't make a significant step it could be a Duc lockout...Martin could do something special...

I really like Pecco, both as a rider and as a personality. He's fast, personable, and humble, and races clean from what I've seen. At the end of the season he outscored everyone, and if not for Ducati's major mistake and some other bad luck, would have had the title. There's no reason to think that he and Ducati won't step up their game even further in 2022. I think he would make a great Champion, and ambassador for the sport.

I also think MM is done as far as a Championship contender. No shame, I think it would simply be a smart move if he retired and concentrated on his health. He has won just about all there is to win, and can retire happy and with pride and honor.

I HOPE Dovi can get back on track and would honestly like to see him FINALLY win the Championship this next year, but, I think taking a year off, then coming back on an unproven bike will prove to be his undoing.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to 2022!

Thanks benny. No predictions yet anyway . no word on marquez yet I was surprised to read Fabio will not resign with Yamaha for 2023 unless the bike has made considerable improvements for 2022 season and is competitive . He has learned from Marquez mistakes in that area .

I predict a ducati duo leading next season barring any serious injury to a rider. Pecco, Martin, and Quatararo third of yamaha doesn't make any changes to the current platform.

If you have the leverage, it is a smart move. Put the pressure on the manufacturer to improve the competitiveness of the bike. He made most of his wins at the beginning of the season (if memory serves me right). Once Ducati fixed their issues, they were very tough to beat.

@bennymx now we have 2 threads on the same topic. Please close my 2022 motogp thread (2022 MotoGP Predictions) and we’ll just use this new one.

hi gmen.ALL........news..........Honda has just stated Marc Marquez condition has progressed adequately.... thats it =very vaque. Said he will start physical training (not riding ,push ups ect)
I Wouldnt get too excited yet.Honda risked Marquez life for years having him ride around handling problems to save $$$. Honda has nothing to lose sending him out riding with vision not at 100% and they didnt become any more moral overnight .

 

[LRS_WNC]

Agreed, but I think Marquez is done.

I’m not much of a Marquez fan though he is becoming a bit more gracious. His biggest problem right now is Repsol Honda…they’ve lost their edge. Marquez still has the talent. That said, watch Jorge Martin…

I Read Honda is looking at Mir as possible replacement for Marquez.

 

[Roehr1250sc]

Fim has just approved 355mm front discs in motogp for 2022 season . Always good to see tech advancements.

Haven’t heard that one before - confirmed true?

 

[Roehr1250sc]

Hi gmten , it is on https://www.motomatters.com they are very reputable/best moto news site on the net . It seemed a bit sudden to me but looks like dornas trying to help other manufacturers catch up to ducati , which is bs , they shouldnt try and help anyone unless a new manufacturer in motogp.

Sorry thought you where talking about 355mm disks .

Mir to honda was from ...the race?...and anouther site?The new one owned by Matt Oxley. If i read in Motomatters or gpone i would say confirmed but it wasnt .Although Matt Oxley has caught hell for leaking info before .

 

[Roehr1250sc]

Quartararo said honda is an option in 2023= racing news fix , You tube

 

[Alex_UK]

With half the seats up for grabs every rider is going to be linked with every other manufacturer by their own PR teams in order to strengthen their negotiating position.
