Viñales is the best bet, in my opinion. Thinks he’ll get the best out of Marquez too

hello173d ago

Aguis but start him with tech3 or track house

gmac71d ago

Ai is such a great talent as is Fabio Quartararo But you need more than talent to win races you need a competitive bike ! I hope Yamaha's engineers can deliver a competitive 850 V4 for their riders next year 🤞🏁

blackbianchi1164d ago

It will be pretty great if the 850cc bike is up to the challenge. I am hopeful for them to be at the front again. Yamaha has such a long MotoGP history, its sad to me to see them languishing at the back.

It's too late for that now,the rules were bent for MM.

kyle.archer178d ago

It is up the the MotoGP teams to decide which outfit their riders race for, not the series.

Personally I think just because a brand is from a certain country doesn't mean the entire team and pilots needs to be from there too. For the betterment of the sport country or birth should have almost no weight in the decision to sign a pilot. Merit is the deciding factor.

hughmungass89d ago

Could be an element of truth in your passport working against you ( Gonzalez for example?) However it can work the other way also ( Miller can arguably thank his passport for his longevity in MotoGP)

adri1738perkins89d ago

I don't believe that. If u good and stand out in moto 3 moto 2 u will be promoted to moto gp. Look Ai he was brilliant and now he has won a gp.

d76bentley178d ago

If you are only into GP and not seen WSB, go watch 2022 - 25. You will be converted lol. More overtakes in one lap than most entire GP's. Especially the 2022 -23 season with Rae, Bautista & Toprak changing lead every corner. Much more action than Motogp, but they are different for a reason. WSB fan having watched Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner all win championships

hansmartin1962179d ago

alvaro is guy who now and then talks real nonsense, a few yesrs ago i remember him saying that marc will never come back again because of devices, aero & multitude of buttons on modern bikes …

ahambly23180d ago

It’s fair to say that purists love both categories, but I wouldn’t go as far as saying those who only like MotoGP aren’t ‘real’ motorcycle racing fans.

skeletor55555123d ago

I don't know, but please don't compare Hamilton with Rossi. Hamilton could never be HALF as influential as Rossi.

ahambly23180d ago

I’d say Marc Marquez based purely off that promotional event where he teamed up with Verstappen in go-karts. Turns out he’s just as aggressive on 4 wheels than 2!

chris313nt178d ago

Rossi was the best of his era and still competitive with Marc when Rossi was in his late 30's. Marc is the only rider I've seen who can take the best bike in MotoGP and develop it into the worst bike. He did it at Honda and now at Ducati. He's the worst development rider I've ever seen

tonystanley.mm93180d ago

Best rider on any bike by far that's whyRossi dislikes him so much cos he knows Marc is the best rider in the modern age of MOTOGP. Rossi is like a spoilt child Long live the reign of MM93

ardashjoseph181d ago

Don’t agree. From 2018 on the Honda wasn’t as good as the Ducati. Because of the great talent of Marquez he was able to win.

wayneogdon808179d ago

Yes it will help them to go forward

tonystanley.mm93180d ago

Yes why not

andymedin55180d ago

Beast n Bulega

tyler.rowlinson183d ago

I would like to see Bulega in MotoGP. Think he deserves a seat and Gresini seems a good fit. Then they'll need a bit more experience, so I'll say Bastianini

kyle.archer184d ago

Once Joan Mir has locked down a ride for 2027, he should start to push a little less and not override the Honda RC213V as much. So, with 19 more rounds to go, Mir should be expected to finish at least 12 of the remaining Grands Prix.

kyle.archer185d ago

Donington Park can certainly create exciting races, but I'd put Brands Hatch and Silverstone above it out of the best circuits in England.

kevinosullivan1965179d ago

Marc will soon be back on top

azmannaiam181d ago

Depending next few races and different circuits the results cannot predictable.

david.comerford186d ago

Jerez (I'm just going to keep saying the next one until I get it right at this point)

partridge.rob197683d ago

Pecco will soon find out that the current Aprillia riders are better than him. As are a few others on the grid. He's a top 10 rider in Moto GP for the remainder of his career. His peak was during Ducati's height of dominance. Credit paid for helping make it so, but that shows har far behind the manufacturers really were.

ardashjoseph164d ago

Definitely NOT. Reasonable good rider, gentleman but not strong. Complaining, nagging and is in need of a good psychiatrist.

kyle.archer187d ago

There is absolutely no doubt that Francesco Bagnaia is a Ducati legend, after helping to turn the Borgo Panigale brand into a dominant force and deliver their first riders' titles since Casey Stoner's 2007 championship in 2022 and 2023. But Bagnaia is not yet a MotoGP legend, and he may never become that.

Quatararo is likely to be sacked if he carries on slagging off the Yamaha in public. He should just be quiet & accept it was his decision to stay there & treat the rest of the year as training

david.comerford187d ago

8/10. Top three rider in MotoGP and the best talent from Moto2

jeff.ledoux62173d ago

I've always thought quartararo had a lot to do with yamaha problems. His constant public moaning and lack of technical knowledge has left them in no man's land. Hopefully by mid 26 they will start to emerge from this low point.

Once Yamaha gets to European track, their 3 riders will settle down and progress.

johanesbp187d ago

I'd say 50%. I still haven't forgotten that it was Fabio that asked Yamaha for more horsepower, Yamaha gave him more horsepower and resulted in the bike keep doing wheelie in all kind of situation. According to Rins, Yamaha ignored all other riders feedback and focused on Fabio instead. Listen to the rider who got them into this situation in the 1st place...

johnjlbird186d ago

Toprak is special, once he is established, just watch him go.

dougal1453186d ago

I don’t know I how many moto Gp fans that also watch WSBKs .. if they do then they’ll know how good Toprak is so we knew as soon as he got comfortable he would start earning points.. I gave him six races but happily I was wrong..

ianstewart953188d ago

It may have been only one point. But the real talking point here is he beat 2 seasoned riders on Yamahas too. And it can only be a good thing for his confidence. Watch this space.

grahamrogers502162d ago

If the stewards have not penalized marc yet a win is a win if you put your self in his shoes would you argue the point

jjpbm.joe181d ago

It would depend on how much that shoulder can take

blackbianchi1187d ago

Marc and Fermin, are injured, riding in pain. A month off is going to do them both good. Diggia is not injured, and he is killing it right now. Not sure what happened to Franky Morbidelli? The bike can compete. With WHOLE riders, it will be more competitive.

blackbianchi1164d ago

I believe that this means he has gotten all of the performance out of the RC16 that is has to offer, and it is still not enough to beat a Ducati or an Aprilia with a lesser rider on them.

luke.newman191d ago

There’s no one better to have in your corner when fighting Marc Marquez for the title!

ahambly23191d ago

Having someone of Rossi's experience in your corner for a championship battle would definitely be a big help, especially if your title rival is Marquez.

dougal145366d ago

Seems it’s not about consistency it’s more about your passport, Agius a great rider but his teammate has out performed him on nearly every occasion yet because he’s Spanish & the majority of riders are doesn’t get a look in .. All wrong 🤬

hughmungass72d ago

Talent? Gonzalez over Agius all day but unfortunately Manu's passport (Spanish) is going to work against him this time. A team Tech3 by the look of it will be told to take Agius (Australian) purely for financial and political reasons. Someone has to replace Miller in the politcal line-up

george.barrass4673d ago

Gonzalez beats Agius any day, the man is pure class, calm and collective.
