MotoGP is quickly hotting up. First Suzuki and now Aprilia? What's next? BMW?

It's a shame because with Marquez dominating it's really going to overshadow the return of some significant bike manufacturers.

.

I actually saw a secret testing of a Beemer GP bike some while ago at the local test track near me in Spain, however nether appeared on the GP circus the following year and of the two bikes being tested one was comprehensibly wrecked after setting good times for the circuit.
I'll keep my eyes peeled as I shall be down there in a couple of weeks.

actually not .. it seems he will ride for LCR next year..
Iannone on the factory bike
where to for Bradl??

chunder · 3 Aug 2014, 17:16 (Ref:3441219)

Bradl will ride for Forward, for a few years then quit

Cal has signed for LCR, on cut down wages, and to be fair might aswell not ride that junk for the rest of the year

Next years Honda prod bike is this years Bradl/Alvaro engine without the mega gearbox, so should be fine.

GOLDFINGER · 4 Aug 2014, 19:07 (Ref:3441435)

Shame he cant get near Dovi on that piece of "junk"

Should have given Scott Reading the LCR ride

chunder · 4 Aug 2014, 23:19 (Ref:3441491)

Redding will bet Bautista's ride I think, but the only downer is the Showa, suspension, quite they they do this I don't know, must be a testbed for HRC as they own Showa and Nissoin

Articus · 4 Aug 2014, 23:39 (Ref:3441494)

And Bautista going to Suzuki or Aprilia?

**gomick** · 12 Aug 2014, 12:02 (Ref:3443662)

Marquez is 10 from 10 and won't win at Brno

GORDON STREETER · 12 Aug 2014, 17:14 (Ref:3443748)

It could be worth betting on him to win them all but the odds are decreasing race by race.

chunder · 12 Aug 2014, 19:13 (Ref:3443771)

Acoording to someone who has the information

more people watched BSB on Eurosport than the MotoGP race

Domination does noone any good

**gomick** · 14 Aug 2014, 09:26 (Ref:3444179)

Lucky Brookes & Kiyo are taking it too Shakey now then

Dani Filth · 14 Aug 2014, 18:06 (Ref:3444286)

good .. it's more interesting that way

S griffin · 16 Aug 2014, 21:37 (Ref:3444721)

Hopefully Marquez will do the equivalent of what Rossi did in 2004 i.e. Win with a manufactuer that has been struggling.

Dani Filth · 17 Aug 2014, 12:50 (Ref:3444786)

and no .. we don't have a new record

canamman · 14 Sep 2014, 12:22 (Ref:3453214)

Lets go Vali!

**gomick** · 15 Sep 2014, 00:55 (Ref:3453392)

He rode well didn't he

Moto 2 is just rubbish now!

Moto 3 was ok, tho it looks like that Spanish Honda team of Rins & Marquez are just about to dominate the rset of the season - fingers crossed Miller can stay with them as it seems Vazquez & Fenati cant!

Dani Filth · 15 Sep 2014, 15:35 (Ref:3453583)

been a while .. and well deserved

cg7aa · 16 Sep 2014, 21:10 (Ref:3454072)

Fan-bloody-tastic! That was so nice to see even if the race itself tailed of a little.

cg7aa · 20 Sep 2014, 21:36 (Ref:3455786)

Jack Miller is heading for the big class next season bypassing Moto2 altogether!

I fear it might be rushing things. But we'll see how he does.

As for the race at Aragon, great to see Rossi up and about after that shunt - looked like he was out for a while there.

canamman · 28 Sep 2014, 12:59 (Ref:3458325)

Aragon Moto GP -

For the 800th motogp now in the books . that did not disappoint.
Wrecks, rain, more wrecks, problem solving, gambles, some
paid off - some did not. Glad all sliders seem ok. Lorenzo finally
gets back on the top step. Hayden 9th. What a finish
for 2nd! - Espargaro takes Crutchlow by a tire width. Yes its true,
Ducati on the podium.

**gomick** · 28 Sep 2014, 23:06 (Ref:3458465)

Was a fun race to watch - pity Iannone crashed early. Dunno why Repsol Honda didn't split strategies & bring atleast 1 rider in. Lorenzo's 32nd win eclipses Eddie Lawson's 31

Marquez has finished 15th & 13th the last 2 races - that's a bit different to 11 straight wins

I didn't hear, did anything happen between Alex Marquez & Jack Miller? Racing incident in my view where unfortunately Miller's front brake got hit

GORDON STREETER · 30 Sep 2014, 13:03 (Ref:3458887)

Rossi was lucky that his bike didn't hit him, as from one angle it looked like it did ! both Marquez and Pedrosa should have come in as it was inevitable that they would fall off sooner or later trying to maintain any sort of speed regardless of how good they are.
It certainly kept me awake !

EGG · 6 Oct 2014, 13:44 (Ref:3461274)

A thought I just had, with Honda moving back into F1, some of their motogp engine developers will likely be getting poached into the F1 division. Might be Yamaha's best (only) chance to make up the difference.

edit- To quote an F1 journalist: "No-one doubts that Honda has impressive capabilities for the longer term, but the word is that the new engine is late, heavy and not powerful enough."

They aren't allowed to. Once the white flag has been shown to allow bike changes, the decision to come in is entirely up to the rider. The teams are not allowed to call the riders in via pit boards.
