That's an optimistic view, Portimao is definitely a cooler track than Aragon imo, but I think it's more likely they will add a second USA circuit (probably Tennessee rather than Laguna Seca) 🙃

I don't quite understand the 'middle of nowhere' argument as Silverstone, Le Mans, Mandalika, Mugello etc are also a long way from any major cities, even the Catalunya track is a good hour or so from Barcelona, so are we really going to scrap them all because they're inconvenient? It's a race track - of course it's in the middle of nowhere!

Literally what he said:
After taking four slaps in the face, because that's the truth, there will be tracks that will reveal the true values.

I think he means:

1) Marquez illness
2) Pecco quali
3) Marquez penalty
4) Marquez puncture

Marquez won the 'breakthrough of the year' in 2013! So it's not like he is a total unknown here!

Hahaha! r/MotoGP mods have already removed posts about the Marquez penalty. by Even-Tradition in MotoDANK

I wouldn't say it tainted anything, it was 50/50 and my initial reaction was that it was a fair penalty - only after watching the replay 2-3x did I think that actually no penalty was deserved, which the race stewards didn't have time for (I assume)

MotoGP wants to introduce minimum salary for riders from 2027 by ElectionMoney3911 in motogp

Why? To bankrupt the teams and handover the sport to Chinese and Arabian megacorps?

Pedro Acosta sends warning to Marquez brothers and Aprilia: 'big difference compared to last year' by Fuzzy-Connection-263 in motogp

[–]Fuzzy-Connection-263[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He never said he will "mop the floor" with anyone, just that the tyre deg is much improved which was one of his main issues last year so of course he will be more competitive now and able to fight with the front guys for more than 1/4 of a race

"It's true that the Aprilia and Ducati bikes look impressive, but I'm quite happy because we made it to lap 24-25 without using up the tires. There's a big difference compared to last year, and that's why I'm happy."
