Fabio's talent is undeniable. His breaking skills are insane! I Hope Yamaha give this man a good bike, otherwise, we are bound to have a boring championship again.

These are my opinion so feel free to disagree and also share your rankings.

1. Jorge Martin : He had stellar season. He was fast, consistent, calm and always fighting in the podium places. The only reason he doesn't get perfect 10 is due to his blips in Germany, Jerez and terrible strategy in Misano(this is mostly on team).

2. Marc Marquez : It was close between Marc and Pecco. Both made too many mistakes but he gets advantage here because of the shortcomings of bike. Also Marc outperformed other riders on same machinery by a huge margin. And got 91% of the total GP23 podiums.

3. Francesco Bagnaia : He won 11 races in the season yet failed to win the championship. He made too many mistakes but still the fastest. He was nowhere near the front in multiple races.

4. Fabio Quartararo : Top in japanese cup and finished ahead of Miller and Oliveira. He scored almost 4 times as much as his teammate.

5. Pedro Acosta : If not for the crashfest mid season, he would have much higher in the list. Probably best rookie season after Marc and Fabio in the recent times.

6. Enea Bastianini : Got comprehensively beaten by his teammate and also beaten by a GP23.

7. Brad Binder : Almost got beaten by rookie teammate but still outperformed his bike. Despite suffering from chatter whole season still managed to produce few good results.

8. Maverick Vinales : Despite the struggle of RSGP only rider to sneak a win from ducati. There were highs and lows but still better than the rest

9. Johann Zarco : Best rider on japanese manufacturers after fabio.

10. Aleix Espargaro : He was closer to Vinales than I expected and also beaten his teammate few times.

Note: Digia or Bezz or Alex were not in the list because they couldn't manage to beat Marc even in a single race if Marc didn't had hiccups (only Alex beat him in a sprint race).

Hi everyone

Was just watching the Duke video heights of 1990 500cc and surprisingly the comentratir uses the words .....the fuckin rothmans Honda twice in the video highlights as Wayne Gardner was really pushing his No 10 Rothmans Honda to the finish line.

I was truly Laughing over this audio.

I Would like to share the video but it can be a copyright so I won't .

You can check it out yourself if you have a copy of it or if it's online on YouTube etc.

It seems the bankruptcy administrator is saying KTMs withdrawal from racing is part of the bankruptcy restructuring, but KTM is still trying to navigate its way through self administration while continuing in MotoGP. Seems there is some serious negotiating going on with a potential investor needed from outside the company as well.

“As KTM AG and its parent company Pierer Mobility entered insolvency court for their debt of around 3 billion Euros on Friday, rumors of their withdrawal from MotoGP ran rampant after it was announced via an Alpine Creditors Association (AKV) report that the withdrawal was one of the six points of reorganization measures self-administered by the debtors.”

KTM’s response in its press release is some what nuanced however.

“While the withdrawal from MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 is discussed and listed as one of the needed restructuring moments, KTM stays self-administrated and controls when to make which moves.”

This is one the best fight I have seen. It's my second favourite after sepang 2015 (for people who haven't seen that fight it was even better than the fight we saw between Pecco and Martin. But sadly I can't post it in the sub because of new rules.).

Is the public allowed to be on the grounds on thursday? Its my first time attending and Im trying to have the whole experience. I saw someone in a different post say its easier to obtain riders signatures on thursdays.So im wondering if thats specific to a certain GP? Has anyone been at COTA on a thursday?

What happened? Why the team disappeared after 2021? Financial reasons or Raul Romero was tired of being in the back of the grid?
