Marquez is the best rider give him a bike close to the Ducati and he wins it. No1 on the grid could win on the Honda with the twisted arm he had. Fabio well overrated by BT sport.
Maverick was always fast in testing, but it just didn’t translate to results when the season started
Will he be able to carry the speed to the races
I don't see Maverick is being that what you say Keith, but time will tell!
I don’t think DellIgna or Tardozzi, are interested in Marquez,they got already a word champion and few very fast riders,
Great podcast! Love the passion! 👍
welcome back gents
One day ktm will wake up and ditch WP suspension and that stupid frame
A shame Keith constantly interrupts his co-hosts. Terrible!
Nice chat guys. Looking forward to more for 2023
How long until they try semi active tyre pressure with some micro pump/valve setup?
Great chat. Keith can't control his urges.😄
Edit: I wonder how much the Marquez brothers would share information with each other. Wow. macr would get so many ideas, and soon enough ride the red devil.
By far the most professional and insightful MotoGP vlog on YouTube. Thanks to all three of you.
What happened to Brittany Ferries?
I'm really at a loss to why Joan Mir was given the Repsol ride, ( i think he has never shown the rider he has the potential to be) and during 2022 he had zero podiums, no fastest laps and x6 DNF's and then ended up 15th in the championship. Then his previous year wasn't much better and he won a world championship in a season which was not really wasn't a proper MOTOGP season. I wonder if there is a secret contract that is given to anyone who wins a world MOTOGP championship in which they are given first option on factory rides over their team members, as i feel Alex Rins deserved the Repsol ride more so than Mor. And with Alex ending up on the LCR Honda team, on a bike i hope he wins on, as i think he is a far better rider.
Well Chaps let's wait for the first two races. People can speculate 'till the cows come home on any of the points being made!
👍👍
Got a feeling KTM might find something! Probably wishful thinking.
I'm worried that this year will be all about the tyre pressures. Guessing that figures will be displayed on the bikes dash and sent back to pits, will it be the case of riders riding to stay within the rules.
Surely riders wont have to back off if they are following a pack or someone for many laps just because there pressure has gone high, and have to do that or be disqualified from the result. I can see a shit storm
Ducati
Aprilia
KTM
Yamaha
Honda, everyone except MM93
Here some thoughts just for fun… I believe Benzzecchi and Bestianini will be the bulls in 2023. Pecco can also win, but may have difficulties on Saturdays.
KTM in my opinion haven’t underperformed I feel like everyone just expected too much too soon…
Tire pressure police…😴
Awesome as usual guys, I don't think Ducati will want Mark, his talent and previous championships aside, he is older and has had a few years of serious injury, getting back to his incredible win or bin attitude may not be easy, and Ducati are well invested in young good talent, Aprillia or KTM however have virtually nothing to loose in putting Mark on a two year deal apart from the vast amounts of cash needed to make it happen, but for Red Bull it would be a drop in the ocean.
Keith, any Chance you could give a shout out for the Ulster Grand Prix, which may never run again. A much more historic race than the Northwest 200. The greats have all ridden the Ulster. Love the Podcasts.
Nice one gents…
Tyre pressure is part of the game guys why are they messing with it
I agree it seems that Aleix never gives up, other riders mention this too
Have to disagree with Pete about the bike order. I would have put KTM above Yamaha. I am sure that KTM has been hiding some aero this test. Also, they really only had one person who could test for them, with Brad being the only one that was carried over from last year, so his times with constantly changing bikes would not be a true reflection.
Keith Huewan looks more like a flaccid penis every time I see him but thats not the remarkable thing , no he actually sounds like one as well! The answer would be a giant condom , anyone ????
Is that a "works" BIC pen Keith? Proper looks and livery. Lol!
Too many rules, too many gizmos, too many penalties, going to lose me as a viewer, just like F1
Iv always rate olivera. Think he's a dark horse this year. He's was/is ktms most successful rider win wise, wet or dry. If the aprilia is as good as last year could well be up there. Raul too I may add.
Grateful to hear three commentators knowing what they’re talking about with no agendas or sponsors to keep happy. Great show.
Keith’s comment about F1 😂 F1s boring all of the time you lot are used to it 🤣🤣🤣 funny bloke
Rins Wins.
Go Alex in 2023.
screw your PSI,
I always hear some of these commentators even riders crying about starting Grid position being make or brake for the race but from what I've seen over the years, it is not near as relevant per se as like F1 ( other Motorsports that begin from a Standing start).
It's about HOW WELL you get off the line and into the 1st corner…
I couldn't begin to count or imagine how many times I've seen Rossi, Lorenzo, Marquez, Rins, Pecco, & the list goes on starting from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th row of the grid then be in the top 5 coming out of the 1st corner .
Clearly it isn't Ideal but if you can qualify in the top 4 Rows of the grid their is no reason you can't get up front without cooking the tires or prematurely wear..
Love this channel !! You guys should have over a million Subs !!
I'm a lone voice but I dread this season becoming even more predictable than last years more or less overtaking free battle of the ducatis. Its depressing to hear all the excitement about aero and tech, instead of the hard racing and overtaking of previous years. Don't believe me? Watch how many fewer overtakes there are generally than previously before aero and, how the tempeature of the poxy front tyre was hardly ever a thing. We're heading the way of f1, a more boring sport I can't imagine, where lap 1 is where you're finishing position is decided. How far into the season before matt birt speculates about which ducati should sit tamely behind bagnaia to provide defence for his title push? I think an argument could be made that ducati have handed Danny A his arse as far as the regs go; I mean, he hasn't seen one single thing coming in time to ban it, not even the rear fins, which I believe everyone else with a passing interest saw bloody ages ago. All my opinions, if you don't agree, at least keep it civil
Harry, I'll do you one better. Marc Marquez moves to Aprilia in 2025.
Are u greece hispanic breeds senior? . Since european elite rules who worth to win 1 year races & who's less score at sepang 2015 , i stop watch and buy their race & journalis interview
Better to watch 5 harley vs 2 indianmotorcycle ride by pro rider , rather than these eurolite events who had over taken our earth resources for lombok circuit in NKRIndonesia 》distance》far frm kalimantan & north java ,
also m0t0jipi netvvorks had been vanished many trees in lombok and jakarta since the circuit plan been announced.
Suzuki should do a motogp inspired road bike and enter it in world super bike. How much does a duke cost 50k could make it work.
