A 2026 thread where you can discuss motorcycling series such as World Superbikes, British Superbikes and MotoGP.

Let's hope for actual title fight in the MotoGP this season but the only thing that I can see stopping MM93 is an untimely injury.

What??

They need to bring back the 23/24 music, not a fan of this high-pitched, squeaky jingle.

Aprilia did not come to play around this season! A truly intriguing opening weekend all things considered.

Disgraceful.

still not buying the Aprilia hype this year and I'm not going to fall into the "Ducati downfall" bait. I know Marc will dominate the entire European rounds while also witnessing the other Ducati riders struggling.

Nonetheless, well done to Bezzecchi for such an achievement so far, leading the whole Sunday races since Portugal last year. Happy to Bez for also getting supports from Sinner and Kimi Antonelli, who are technically 5-6x more popular.

Marquez is not just not at the races this season it seems, some silly mistakes and outright lack of pace. This Bezzecchi domination is certainly unexpected and incredible that's he managed what the likes of Agostini, Rossi and Marquez never managed with over 100 consecutive laps led, a very cool if niche record.

yea Marc is officially back and he doesn't really have to worry about this season because at least he's going to do Kicau Mania for his Indonesian fans at the chequered flag tomorrow x

so apparently Marc's pit attempt after crash was criticized by crybaby Valentino Rossi fans many people.

After this, I'm pretty sure FIM will write a new "Marquez rule" about the pit procedure during a flag-to-flag race, like the way they did last year.

That's quite unfortunate for Marc, but he's proving Stoner right, again, 15 years later. Alex has been superb since yesterday, so he should've taken that 2nd.
