2024 FIM MotoGP World Championship

I feel the chance to have MM in the factory team is of significant importance and would be to any factory in all honesty.

There's obviously finite time to do this with his career, competitiveness and desire understandably being more limited now than a much younger rider just entering this class. It's an opportunity I agree they, Ducati, shouldn't have missed, even with the outcome it has forced with their other riders.

The mix up I feel will make for a determined and hyper competitive field next year with many now wanting to prove their worth to even greater degree. With EB on KTM and second year for PA there too, then JM influence in Aprillia, there's some good racing to come.

Obserervers often reference older times as being better, for whatever reason. I've seen enough of the good times in Moto-GP & 500 class before it, to know that I'm right in the middle of watching a very good period of the class, machines and riders right now.

More suspicious of the next rule change disturbing this level in reality for me.

Really great insight. Thank you for that.

Probably pre dates most currently watching Moto-gp .... I feel it's this rider that really lit it up for pushing tyres past their limits and showed the way to the speed and riding we see now

absolute pinnacle of an era

Pre dating him was Yvonne Duhamel, French Canadian and really in the relm of Gille Villeneuve for out there vehicle handling, similar in spectacular performance and lack of championships, but oh so very good to watch.

A revisit tomriding that bike more recently, applauded by Rossi too

That was a good race, Australian GP, leaving no doubt why Ducati chose MM over the others for next year.

2025 is going to be exciting and still under the current rules.

Now the other contenders will have to prove what level they're at, MM missing these last few years has let everyone off lightly.

Marc just destroyed the field this Sunday! Unbelievable performance considering the start he had…imagine how far in front he would have ended up had he led from the first corner…

I still think there’s nobody close to his level! The guy is now becoming the greatest athlete (not just rider) of all time! No other athlete has ever come back from life threatening, career ending injuries to beat the next generation while also using older equipment compared to his rivals…

There's a saying that even if an elephant sits down, it's taller than a donkey. That's the situation with Marc and the rest of the riders. There's just nobody that can come close to his level of talent. He's is beating them with a year old bike. Every weekend he is getting better hold of the Ducati. It should be vindicating for Ducati that they signed him and not other riders for next year.
