Oxford will do well to get 35 tonight

KTM wouldn’t have been an option I suspect as Binder is already signed up for next season and it would be a shock if Acosta did not join him. So it would be Tech 3 if there was a vacancy and he’s not going to leave a factory team for that ride. No rider in his prime has yet gone to Aprillia as they aren’t really looked on as a championship winning team but hopefully Maverick can put a good run in this season and that might change. BMW is 2027;when the regulations change to smaller engines and less aerodynamics.

The problem that Fabio had was that I doubt Ducati were interested due to the level of talent that they already have at there disposal so the best bike on the grid was not an option for him. Aprillia were rumoured to be interested but I expect he did'nt think they could build him a title winning bike. It sounds like Yamaha are starting to throw big bucks at it by securing Ducati engineers and are being quite aggressive in trying to secure a satelite team. I get the feeling big promises were made to him getting him to sign a new contract.

Would be very surprised if Marquez is not in the top 3 with his COTA record.

Totally agree, was going but not so sure now as £85 for the cheapest grandstand seat for the final is ridiculous.

I think in recent years they have done 2 live GP’s and one is normally the British. Hopefully as this is so early in the season they might do a few more.

That sprint race was unbelievable, you won’t see a better race this season.

All races live on ITV 3/4 this weekend

I’m pretty sure if Tobias Thomson had beaten some of these riders on his home track we would be hearing how he’s one of the best signings of the season. Great work by Workington to get Tate.

Why not, why does it have to be in the UK like you’re demanding? If it’s only costing £1k each to attend that’s not much money and I doubt many promoters get the chance to go away during the season.

Moto 3 in Thailand must have been the race of the year and the Moto Gp was bloody good aswell. big mistake by Dixon in Moto 2.

So Vinales has turned down the Repsol ride and Zarco has rules himself out from it, it looks like Aleix is touting himself for the ride. I can’t remember Honda ever being in such a mess and you can’t blame Marquez for jumping ship if he wants to win another title. Hopefully we get a full weekend of racing this weekend but the weather forecast is not good.

Big ride by Tom, felt Poole needed a 5-1 in heat 8 to stand any chance of coming back. Shocked by how bad Poole have been so far in this final.

Only one seat left in Moto GP so I can’t see him quitting Honda without a ride. Maybe Gresini wanted the Honda news out of the way before announcing him along with maybe a new sponsor like Red Bull.

Gresini does seem a done deal, the 2023 Ducati will be much more competitive than a 2024 Honda. Would expect Zarco on the official HRC Honda with Lecouna on the LCR. Pol is out at Gas Gas with Acosta coming in.
