Oh my… that was pretty. 🥰

For the life of me I cannot recall. Is this a 2 day test?

Or just a one and done?

Now to conquer the fancy accent mark over the letter Ğ in his last name. 😅

Well damn. I assumed Aprilia would be taking a more conservative approach to 2026 considering how excellent the bike already is.

This is an entirely new aero package design. 👀

Looks like Marini on the bike. Lots of knees and elbows poking out.

Those colors would definitely make for a very unique livery.

Low grip surface coupled with a low grip front tire might be a nightmare for a certain rookie. 😬

Happy wife Happy life. Pluralized.

What you think Gigi is going to put on left handlebar in 2027?
Maybe a thumb brake and a scooter brake lever? New buttons for the inevitable helmet comms?

Like so many other technical compromises in MotoGP, Plan B has proven to be even more costly and problematic than Plan A.

The photo in this article makes it pretty clear why Mir went down. So far offline!

Looks like the adjustable swingarm pivot on the new Yamaha frame is already completely maxed out.

Perhaps it’s back to drawing board again.

Kind of strange that none of the GP24’s homologated a 2nd aero body this season until now?
November 14, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Would like to see race in an almost all of these countries. 👍

I think this is the best case scenario for MotoGP?

No missing bikes on the grid, no folding teams, and a whole new market for MotoGP with 1.5B potential new fans. Not bad 🤷🏻‍♂️

He should show up only for the Tuesday test. Participating in the actual race seems pretty pointless and risky. Same for Viñales.
November 10, 2025 at 8:23 PM
I was expecting a very good season from Aprilia, but I certainly didn’t expect Bez to do it solo without Martin. 😅

(Never expected a thing from Ogura)

Not sure about your country, but starting with model year 2027 some of these bikes are going to be banned in the US.

Namely those that have a “connected ride” feature that uploads user data to the internet.

This policy was actually put into place before the current Orange empire began…

Selling the young people things they can afford to buy.

That was some good old fashion MotoGP!

No idea how Acosta managed to mount a final attack after Alex pulled out that large gap. Very impressive.
November 8, 2025 at 6:22 PM
My biggest complaint from day 1.
I don’t hate the sound of the MotoE bikes, but the sound mixing all wrong.

Turn up the onboard sound from bikes, and turn down the sound on the commentators mics.

Screaming Ti-fighter noises = cool

High pitched commentator noises = not cool

I might do Pecco well to spend some time following other riders in the paddock.

There’s quite a few of them dealing with non-ideal bike behavior. Which seems to be one of the things Pecco really really struggles to overcome.
November 8, 2025 at 6:00 PM
It definitely sounds like a unique design, but those double crankshaft also sound kind of heavy!

I think the Suzuki RG500 was the last “square” layout motorcycle engine, but it was a two stroke and well before my time. 😅

So many people everywhere doubting Bulega. It’s good to see him quiet down those voices some.

It was pretty clear to anyone watching WSBK in 2025 that he does not belong in that series, nor does Toprak.
