Best laid plans of mice and men and all that.

There has to be a fear of hooking a riders leg in a fall doesn't there? That's where I would think the ban thought comes from.

A bit unrelated, but how much change will any of the manufacturers make for 26? Will it be incremental changes to 24/25 bikes or wholesale changes that will only be applicable for one year? With Peccos result on a 24/25, does Ducati revise the 24/25 hybrid for a 26 bike and run all 6 riders on it?

Pecco needs to just put his head down and ride. The bike isn't changing into something that will solve his problems. There is a problem, for Pecco, with this bike. All the settings changes in the world seemingly won't fix that. Soldier through the season, hold onto 3rd, and work for the 2026 bike.

I think he is the best rider Aruba/Ducati could get at the wage they want to pay after Bulega got his payday.

The evergreen problem for Harley is that the Harley culture that has kept them relevant for all these years is the same Harley culture that abhors anything that is presented as a change (small bikes) to the Harley culture. Its a vicious cycle.

Loved the Podcast.

Cool little reel of a camera bike.

He snatched 2nd right out of Tadej's hands today with a vicious attack! :)

Do you see Turkey being added back at some point with Toprak in MotoGP? Is the track still up to date?

Added him to my fantasy team to replace Mav!

Need these two back in Superbike. Its a shame there aren't more quality sbk rides in MotoAmerica. Westby gone, Tytlers with one bike, Warhorse with one bike, among other departures, just withering away. Good to see big Stock 1000 and Supersport grids though.

That Gresini bike was like a ghost rider rocket into the air fence.

Jack is quick on a new to him bike and seems to be good at developing a solid base setting. Quick on the KTM year 1, quick on the Yamaha this year. Seems that'd be a handy skill for a manufacturer to have on their roster come 2027.

Emma Hayes feels like a coach that every one of her players would run through a wall for. I would think the biggest fear as a player is disappointing her, not because you fear her wrath, but because you don't want to dishonor the trust she's placed in you. Good times for the USWNT.

So how is the hierarchy of who gets to park where determined?

I’m so proud to have her as my representative. She’s a powerhouse, and one to watch in years to come.

Surprised its with Yamaha, I thought that bridge had been burned when Yamaha MotoGP just went through the motions with him during the short test Toprak had. Didnt seem to be any real interest in bringing him over from WSBK then.
