Binder too inconsistent....
Hope its a great year for Marc Marquez on the Repsol Honda (RC213V)

or Monster Yamaha (YZR-M1) Red Bull KTM (RC16), Suzuki Ecstar (GSX-RR), WithU Yamaha RNF (YZR-M1), KTM Tech3 (RC16),  LCR Honda (RC213V)

Think Remy will struggle, Fernandez will finish above him and win at least 1.

Yeah thank good ol Rupert Murdoch for that, the cahn...

Got a video pass from Dorna which cost me $230- but I aint missing it. Put an app on my appleTV box. Huge fan, it is easily the best motorsport there is.

You can apparently get it on Kayo too but that is owned by the same cahn (copyright Fred Gassit) who took away fta.

Yeah Honda built their 2022 motoGP bike around the new Michelin tyres and spec ecu.
A tyre carcass last used in 2018 due to concerns with heat just didn't suit them.

I pay $25 a month for Kayo Basic and I reckon I get dollar value from the bikes, cricket, footy and sundry sports.
$25 for not watching the same ad, at every break in play is a small price to pay.
I don't have FTA in my cave.

I am not rewarding the bastard who took away my ability to watch the sport I love on fta by giving him money.

Don't have a great deal of respect for him in general tbh.

I hope not, as he has been able to do stuff on a motorcycle nobody else has.
Due to the heat and tyre preservation, Michelin bring a tyre to Indonesia for "safety", with a carcass that hasn't been used since 2018 and an off throttle highside on corner entry does this.
Wasn't too safe at all on that Honda.
I hope he comes back, but yeah the damage is just accumulating. He isn't around at the top for alot longer it appears :(

Nice. :)
I've never met him but loved the way he stood up to the crap Rossi and his fans served up to him.
Did his talking on the track and was untouchable 8)

Reports the best has retired..  :'( :'( :'(

Marc Marquez will not return to MotoGP, even if his diplopia is gone. The decision has been made, with only the official announcement to be made in the next few days.

Motorcycle Sports reports that the Spanish Repsol Honda rider has begun to ponder his future after being diagnosed with diplopia following his warm-up crash at the Indonesian GP. It is the second time in around five months that he has suffered from the condition following a blow to the head.

I have no idea what it would be like with Diplopia at 300 kph........................................and I don't want to!

There's worse ways to retire though. I'm sure he's reasonably comfortable, pension wise.

Who could be the next superstar of Moto GP?  Having the skill, courage and determination of M Marquez is very rare.  He superseded Rossi as a generational champion and now we  search for the next.  Interested to hear what others think may happen.

Surely not! Using an unfortunate, medical condition as a joke is pretty piss poor.
