MotoGP / WSBK Silly Season 2023-24

Rea on a Yamaha is a shocker. Good seat to have. :thumbup

Love to see AI29 back on the grid. Hope that happens.

Petrucci renewed his WSBK ride with Barni Ducati for another year.

Lots of competitive Ducatis on the grid in 2024. Two Factory bikes plus Barni, GoEleven, MotoCorsa, will all run at least one bike, plus Sam Lowes on the new MarcVDS Ducati team.
 
Good for him!

I would expect better results. :p

The VR46 riders seem to adapt the Ducati pretty well so Morbichilli should have plenty of support.
 
Franco will win a few races next year

now just please please let marc get on that gresini bike....!
 
Meh... I'd rather see WinOrBin leave the series and fade off into obscurity. Time for MotoGP to shift towards the new Wunderkind, Pedro Acosta.
 
NOT a surprise :laughing

Good for him. Hope Honda can get their shit together for him.
 
Exciting times for BMW, I would sure love to see them take a step up, with Toprack, and it sounds like Sylvan Guintoli will be leading the new test team. I like that they are making the point of saying we have four factory riders. I just hope Redding doesn't infect the Bonovo team with his bad attitude, or spend all his energy trying to destabilize Gerloff. If he does try that shit I hope Gerloff can meet the challenge and say whatever dude, this is my team and I'm the man, let's work together so we can all move forward!

EDIT: bummed for Baz, hope he lands on his feet. He and Gerloff were having a good time as team mates, which helps the whole team have fun. One sour puss can be a real bummer.

Hopefully Redding won’t continue riding like a blonde. I want to be optimistic about BMW’s seriousness with Toprack as I figured Van der Mark went for the cash.
 
Like a blonde..?? That is actionable genderism. :laughing

At least you could have used the male blond brother. :p
 
Putting this in the Silly Season thread because it has more shelf life than the race threads.

2024 Provisional Calendar. 22 events.

Much the same as this year. Aragon is back along with the all important, five-race Iberian Peninsula Championship. :laughing Someone is still crossing their fingers for a Kazakhstan GP. The Hungary-Balaton Park Circuit (not listed) is a reserve date in case another event fails to materialize.

Same brutal last half of the season.

I wish they dropped a couple of them Iberian peninsula races for South Africa and China.
