Here is the home for all MotoGP related chat for the upcoming season.

Will this be another win for Marc?

Will Jorge make a come back?

How will Toprak do in with the big boys?

Your thoughts on this and anything else.

Over to you.
 

Impossible to see it being anything other than a very comfortable title for Marc but Bez/Aprilia have looked very good in testing and Bagnaia, for now anyway, seems far happier on the GP26 than he ever did on last years bike. Hopefully those 2 along with with Alex, a fit Martin and Acosta can at least provide some entertainment in the battle for 2nd in the championship and can be consistent enough to at least keep Marc honest.

Yamaha on the other hand look in a state of absolute shambles.

It looks like Honda have made improvements but they certainly needed to.

I don’t expect the Big H to be anywhere near the front.

Great Sprint race, shame for Benz but I think it allowed for a more entertaining race.

Took way longer than expected but the first proper Marc/Acosta dogfight was everything we hoped it would be and the fact that they're going to be team-mates next season should make for superb entertainment.

The main race again should be Bezzecchi's to lose but he squanders far too many opportunities when he's clearly the man to beat pace-wise across a weekend. Indonesia and Philip Island last year should have been very comfortable 37-point hauls for him and this weekend should have been as well.
 
First time since Silverstone 2021 that there's been no Ducatis on the podium in the Sunday race.

Bez and Aprilia were obviously huge favourites going into this weekend given how well the test went but surprised at just how far ahead of everybody else they looked. If that's a sign of things to come as opposed to it being hugely track specific then there might actually be something resembling a title fight this year.
 
Finally got to watch the Sprint just before the football kicked off, didn’t get to know about the sinkhole until the recording showed an old race.
 
My first wife was from near Goiania and we used to fly from there. I never knew they had a race track.
 
Still impossible not to back Marc for the title over the course of a full season but that Aprilia looks immense at the minute.

Martin completely burning his bridges with them to sign for Yamaha for next year could turn out to be a monumentally stupid decision.
