sunt tot felul de speculatii, dar cred ca mai e o problema. daca Dorna accepta cererea KTMului risca ca MM sa plece la KTM si atunci sa se supere Honda ca i-au dat oportunitatea lui MM sa plece. e clar ca sunt tot felul de interese pe care noi nu le stim. iar presa speculeaza la greu. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033760/1/theory-touted-ktm-want-marc-marquez-mv-agusta KTM has a 25% stake in MV Agusta and so, if they were to acquire extra grid slots, might choose to rebrand some RC16s in the same way that Tech3 races with GASGAS colours. However, since the bikes would still presumably be full RC16s, it would not solve KTM’s current sticking point with Dorna, which is reserving the ex-Suzuki grid slots for a ‘new manufacturer’. "Do you know what KTM's dream is? Do you know what marketing exercise KTM really wants to do in the future? Having Marc Marquez on an MV Agusta," explains journalist Ricard Jove. "That's the play they'd like and it can be. "What remains to be seen is to what extent the championship can allow KTM to be painted [as an] MV Agusta or to make a bike significantly different from the KTM. “But that is the objective and I think it is a very good marketing exercise if it is achieved.

Zarco parea oricum pe faras de la Pramac https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033704/1/johann-zarco-explains-lcr-move-honda-has-power-come-back “I had to think for a few weeks about it,” Zarco told MotoGP.com. “[Despite] doing these good results for three years with the Pramac team, it has been tough to sign again now. “There are many competitive Ducatis, many young guys, so it seems it was tough to have another signature and even it was not sure if we were going to be with Pramac or another team in Ducati. “So the offer and discussion with Honda and Cecchinello was pretty interesting. I get the opportunity to have a project for two years, at 33 years old. It’s quite good to project yourself and, as a sportsman, do the best you can. ... “I don't have the same character as Alex Rins and with the different experiences from Yamaha, KTM, the Honda for three races, I even tried the Suzuki seven years ago. And now I’ve got four years on the Ducati. So I try to adapt myself to many situations,” Zarco said. “Alex won the race in Austin. That was incredible. But then he has been struggling and he got also the injury so has been a tough time for him. “I don't know how things inside [HRC] was for him, but it's a challenge I take and I think with the experience I have, I'm ready to control the situation as well as possible.” Zarco also insists he is much better prepared for the challenge ahead than when he made the short-lived switch to KTM. “It's going to be different because my life is different now. I grew up as a sportsman, and I can see the situation with one step back. When I jumped from the Yamaha to the KTM, I wanted to win races at any cost, so that's why I've been feeling very bad when I was really back of the classification. That's why I said to KTM, ‘better to stop than pay me for nothing’. “Now it's another mentality. And as I say, I take it as a project, that is pretty good, Because saving these two years in MotoGP is the best place to be, and is also the place I want to be because I'm very competitive. “So that's why I want to live well this challenge and I will live it better than I did in KTM because I'm just more mature. So I know that in case of problems, I will handle myself much better than in the past.” Bez nu cred ca "e lasat" sa plece de la VR46, desi pare ca si-ar dori lucrul asta https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033700/1/bezzecchi-i-have-already-made-my-decision-soon-i-will-communicate-it Speaking about his future after securing P3 in Austria, Bezzecchi said: “Vale is pushing a lot to be honest and I really appreciate this. To be pushed but the goat is something no one in the world can say this. “I have already made my decision but I cannot tell you what I will do. Soon I will communicate it but it was fantastic to have this celebration [post-race] with Pecco and the VR46 riders.” When asked about Rossi pushing him and what he meant by that, Bezzecchi added: "I think Vale is pushing more to have me in the team. "We have spoken a lot and seen each other many times at home. He is pushing me a lot to stay and I’m happy for this."

Interesant de vazut unde se va clasa in Motogp cu modelul de anul asta. Official: Alvaro Bautista to make 2023 MotoGP wild-card at Sepang

s-a clarificat si situatia plangaciosului: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033143/1/rnf-raul-fernandez-has-2-2-aprilia-contract “We had a meeting with Aprilia last week,” team boss Razlan Razali told the RNF Unlocked Podcast on the eve of the British MotoGP weekend. “No doubt, [Raul] probably hears stories about people coming to approach us and, yes, there’s been a number of riders who came to talk to us. “So number one, we confirmed at the meeting with Aprilia that [Raul] needs more time. So he shouldn’t worry. “That is something that we have communicated to Raul as well: ‘Don’t worry, because you have a contract with Aprilia for at least two years, with an option for another two years’. “So that should not distract him, just focus on the job and don’t pressure himself." “Raul is only in his second year,” Razali added. “He had a terrible first year with KTM. In theory with a young rider you need a minimum of two years [in the same team] to give them a chance. To just get rid of them after one year is not correct." “Okay, it happened to us with Darryn [Binder], but that was an exceptional circumstance because he had signed with Yamaha and we then switched to Aprilia.” “Raul’s very ambitious,” added team manager Wilco Zeelenberg. “He has the speed but he needs the whole package, to also stay calm if you are not in the position you want to be in. See what the others are doing and not make mistakes.”

nu stiu de unde ai informatia aia. deocamdata nu e decis nimic unde o sa fie Bez la anul. https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2023/08/09/hes-a-great-talent-is-morbidelli-destined-for-ducati/475384 The contracts of numerous riders within Ducati’s ranks come to a conclusion at the end of the season and still need to be renewed, while there is also a desire to promote Bezzecchi to a factory bike, with Ciabatti confirming as much. "At the moment it is no secret that we would like to be able to give Marco Bezzecchi a factory bike, he is having a very good year, winning races. We have to clarify our ideas in order to be able to give him a factory bike next year. "The decision will not be made between this weekend (at Silverstone), but we will clarify the ideas with the team and the rider to make a decision after Austria." In order to give Bez one of the four factory machines, it would require the #72 to move up to either Ducati Lenovo Team or Prima Pramac Racing. Francesco Bagnaia is locked into a factory team contract for 2024, while Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team) and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) both have 1+1 deals for 2023, with the factory yet to officially exercise their 2024 extensions. However, of all the riders, it seems that Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) is most at risk, with the Frenchman's deal up at the end of the year and rising chatter of a potential switch to LCR Honda, though the #5 has stated his desire to remain on a Ducati. No matter what way you look at it, some tough decisions await the Bologna bullets, as five riders onto four factory bikes simply doesn't go. intre timp, AM inca un an cu Gresini https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2023/08/10/gresini-racing-motogp-confirm-alex-marquez-for-2024/475421

nu stiu cat are de ales Zarco. daca Bez alege Pramac pentru modelul 2024, atunci Zarco nu mai are loc la Ducati. greu de crezut ca o sa mearga la Gresini. asa ca singura varianta sa ramana in MotoGP e Honda care nu prea o vrea nimeni

O iau razna cu toate zvonurile astea :))) Fernandez and teammate Miguel Oliveira are both contracted for 2024 already but the report suggests that Aprilia may lose faith with the Spaniard whose season is going “differently than expected”. Intriguingly the report cites “what we heard at Silverstone” - that Fernandez himself is “dissatisfied with the experience gained to date in MotoGP” and wants “something different”. That would be a Moto2 return, rather than a WorldSBK move. Fernandez was the 2021 Moto2 runner-up when he reluctantly stepped into the premier class with the KTM satellite team, despite preferring RNF (then Yamaha’s satellite team).

da asa e, au zis tot timpul ca e facuta dupa stilul lui Peco in principal. Bestia are un stil mai putin agresiv, de acolo veneau si rezultatele lui pe final de cursa cand inca mai avea guma/grip comparativ cu ceilalti.

pai e cumva vinovat si de cazatura lui Bez :)))) https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1032991/1/enea-bastianini-marc-marquez-touched-me-impossible-stop-bike It initially appeared that he was unfortunate at Silverstone to be wiped out of the race bu Bastianini, but now the Italian has offered a different view. “Marc touched me in Turn 11, on entry,” Bastianini said. “On Turn 15, I tried to brake but it was impossible to stop the bike so I went straight on.” Marquez was out of the race immediately, Bastianini tried to continue for a while but also came to a premature end. “After the contact with Marc, something happened on the bike,” he explained. “Also, the tyre was broken. “Probably, because of this I crashed.” normal ca nu a vrut: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033009/1/marc-marquez-crashes-again-insists-i-controlled-myself “Bastianini overtook me, and I said, ‘OK’, because today I didn't want to risk more with the rain. But when we arrived at that turn I saw that it was a bit more wet, and I started to slide a bit. “So I said, ‘OK, I go to the left side, to save the crash or the contact’. But then also on that moment, Bastianini had a small moment and go also to the left, and then I didn't have time to avoid the situation. “I think I had a small contact with him. We crashed, but it was the kind of crash that I don't lose confidence.” totusi aici mie mi se pare ca l-au furat pe BB33 https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1033001/1/explaining-why-francesco-bagnaia-was-not-out-track-limits-british-motogp MotoGP Stewards confirmed afterwards: “No exceeded track limit - tyres were not touching the green as sensor was not triggered, verified by camera.”

despre "viitorul" in MotoGP. am extras cateva pasaje care mi se par mie interesante. e destul de lung "interviul", dar pare fara ceva concluzii clare a ce ne rezerva viitorul. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/change-motogps-tech-rules-you-may-end-up-with-the-opposite-of-what-youre-trying-to-achieve/ It’s the weekend of the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring and I’ve requested an interview with Corrado Cecchinelli, Dorna’s director of technology, who used to be technical director of the factory Ducati team. I want to talk to Cecchinelli about MotoGP’s technical direction and a few other things. On Friday morning I show up at Dorna’s portable paddock office block and meet Cecchinelli, who tells me that my questions (emailed in advance) are too wide-ranging for his sole attention, so leads me to the office of Dorna’s chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta, son of Carmelo, the man who led Dorna’s buyout of MotoGP in 1992. Ezpeleta junior is now responsible for the sporting and technical areas of MotoGP. He is qualified for this role, because he has a degree in mechanical engineering. What follows is a somewhat strange interview, in fact it’s less of an interview and more of a philosophical discussion about racing, but this is my fault. ... The idea behind giving this power to the manufacturers was to give them a stake in the series, otherwise why would they want to invest hundreds of millions in GP racing? In fact Dorna has tried to do something about some of these new technologies. Last year it put two options to the MSMA: ban all ride-height devices from 2025 or ban front devices from this year. “They all voted for option B,” says Ezpeleta. “What we want to do with the rules and what we can do are two different things, like everything in life. “Fortunately and unfortunately MotoGP isn’t a dictatorship, so we have to see what the industry wants. As much as we’d like to implement changes in the regulations, by closing some doors or whatever, that’s still changing the rules.” .... “I did this exercise,” replies Ezpeleta. “I worked out how many times FP1 was faster than FP2, before this year [when it didn’t count towards qualifying], and it was less than 2% at all events. So clearly you could test in FP1 98% of the time and not be damaged. “Even before the sprint format some riders wanted all practice sessions to be free practice. I said, ‘Perfect, no one will watch!’. Have you watched Fridays in F1? They’re abysmal!” Which brings us to what was a scoop at the time of the interview but isn’t anymore. “Of course! I’m worried sick about losing Honda and Yamaha” “If your question is, ‘Do we want to revise the concession points system?’, that’s a different question,” adds Ezpeleta, who went public with this information two weeks later. “I personally think concession points is one of the items we will need to speak about.” I assume Ezpeleta is worried about MotoGP losing Honda and Yamaha. “Of course! I’m worried sick,” he says. “And not only about that – I’m worried about their top riders saying, ‘I’m out of here’. So there’s a concern about those factories and there’s a concern about some factory teams not having top riders. “But the regulations are what they are and we can’t change them until 2027, unless all the manufacturers agree.” .... “It’s not a big secret that we’re working on new regulations for 2027, which will have a number of performance-decreasing factors,” Ezpeleta continues. “I think there will be a significant performance drop in 2027, then the factories will start regaining that performance and in ten years’ time you’ll come back to me and we’ll be having the same conversation! “But how much of a downgrade do we want? We’re not five seconds faster than World Superbikes and, compared to five years ago, we’re only 1.5 seconds faster than we were then. “Clearly, I feel there’s room for improvement. I think power is one conversation, aero is another, ride-height devices is clearly another and tyres too.” ... “For me, good racing comes when there’s tyre management,” affirms Ezpeleta. In other words, when the tyres are worse! “About aero, maybe from the outside it seems very easy – just get rid of wings,” Ezpeleta goes on. “But at this point it’s quite straightforward – there’s no getting rid of the wings when you can already buy street bikes with wings, which are racing in World Superbike.” Fair enough, I say, but ban ground effect, because most people I know in car racing have been shouting this at me for the last few years, “Don’t let MotoGP go down the ground-effect road because it’s a disaster!”. “We are only in the current situation because all the factories have tried to go faster,” says Cecchinelli. “There was never any goal to make the show worse!”

cateva declaratii interesante a lui Pierer: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1031634/1/ktm-answer-key-questions-marquez-acosta-fernandez-espargaro-2024-lineup KTM answer key questions on Marc Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Augusto Fernandez, Pol Espargaro, and their 2024 line-up RobertJones 21 Jul 2023 KTM have delivered a bold and fascinating insight into their 2024 plans which Marc Marquez has been constantly linked to. The manufacturer were reportedly trying to bring the LCR satellite team into their group, creating two spaces for Marquez and Pedro Acosta. But now Stefan Pierer, CEO of the Pierer Group which owns KTM, has explained their plan. About recruiting Marquez, Pierer told Speedweek: "I'm not saying it's out of the question. But that doesn't suit us. "How many times do you think he’s been offered to us in the last few months? "This is a stuck situation- he is not entirely innocent. His riding style now doesn't really suit these aerodynamically defaced bikes. That's why he falls so often. "We want to be world champions one day. But signing a Marquez is not our way. We build the riders ourselves, from Moto3 to Moto2. "I also believe in Brad Binder and Jack Miller, who fought for the Moto3 World Championship title with us in 2014 and has now returned." Binder and Miller are contracted for next season already, and so is Tech3 GASGAS rider Pol Espargaro. However, Espargaro has missed the whole season so far due to injuries sustained on the first Friday leading to speculation about his future. Augusto Fernandez was contracted until the end of this season so, despite his impressive performances, he is clearly at-risk of Acosta who will step up from Moto2 to MotoGP within the KTM group. Pierer has insisted that he will somehow find space for Espargaro, Fernandez and Acosta on KTM machinery in the premier class next season. He revealed that Fernandez has been given a new deal: "That's why we've already extended his contract. He already has a contract. "And Pedro Acosta has one too. And we guarantee that he will be on a MotoGP KTM in 2024. "It will all work out. First of all, we have to give Pol another chance to show how well he's recovered. He wasn't there for half a year. "The fact that he will be a test rider is currently not an issue. It depends on Pol how he is doing. "If he performs as expected, he will drive a full season next year. We have a contract with him. "The fact is that Pedro Acosta will be riding a MotoGP-KTM in 2024. Wherever that will be. "And if I need an extra place, everything will be arranged." Pierer admitted that he is still trying to acquire one of the existing satellite teams. "Basically, the Gresini team was not an option for me," he said. "The current economic situation will not make things any easier for the private MotoGP teams. "I hear the second Aprilia team is already having financial difficulties; it must be supported by Aprilia. "One or the other, a place will surely fall down. I bet you!" Pierer said KTM will try to buy any satellite team that is available: “Certainly, if something comes up, we will adopt it. "I'm assuming that one or the other MotoGP spots will become available and that we will compete with all five riders.” He added: "I'm very concerned that Honda will also drop out after Suzuki." Si alte zvonuri de pe piata transferurilor: https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1031598/1/joan-mir-negotiations-join-ducati-next-season A seat is expected to become free if they dispense with Fabio di Giannantonio, but Mir is not the only candidate to fill it. Tony Arbolino is linked with a step-up from Moto2, and Johann Zarco is also rumoured as part of a reshuffle involving Marco Bezzecchi perhaps moving to Pramac. “It is not certain that Mir will win it,” the report states, however his interest gives Ducati another fascinating option for their 2024 rider line-up.
