Motogp 2012

[C4L]

might have a bit more interest in it again if rossi is back up there, spectacle wasn't the same without a rider with personality fighting at the front. roll on 2013!

 

[Gibonz]

2012 was indeed dull. 2013 will definatley be better.

AFAIK the 2013 main teams are like so, please amend/update as necessary:

Repsol Honda - Pedrosa / Marquez
Honda Gresini - Bautista (CRT rider not yet confirmed)
Honda LCR - Bradl

Yamaha - Lorenzo / Rossi
Yamaha (Tech 3) - Crutchlow / Smith

Ducati - Hayden / Dovizioso
Ducati (Pramac) - Barbera / Spies

As much as Stoner will be missed, I cannot wait to see Marquez in Moto GP.

 

[svensktoppen]

Sorry, I must have been living under a rock, but who is Marquez? Straight into the top team!

 

[gcon45]

He was in Moto 2 up until now Ian and is phenomenal.

For instance, he stalled on the grid a few races back and came through from plum last on the 32 bike grid to win.

 

[svensktoppen]

Should keep Pedrosa honest then, and hopefully the annoying little Spaniard too

Actually, Pedrosa did a really good job once Stoner packed it in. Just a shame he got started too late to really challenge.

 

[gcon45]

Yeah I hope his talent translates.

Some of the smaller class wunderkinds don't always make such an impression when they reach Moto GP.

I've got a feeling Marquez will succeed though and he'll probably go on to be a multiple world champion.

Spies still there? On a Ducati, should be interesting.

Huh...I thought he was leaving MotoGP for WSBK?

 

[Paddy_R]

There are rumours that Laverty may be offered a CRT seat at PBM for next season.

 

[gcon45]

This is the last season on the BBC.

Sky have it tied up from 2014 onwards.

What a result for the UK riders at Le Mans

 

[svensktoppen]

Superb, so happy for Crutchlow, very well done Could barely watch the last few laps, was sure he would do something silly and drop it, lol.

Shame about Rossi, silly thing.

What on earth happened to Lorenzo? Not complaining mind

Good comeback for Marquez too, go boy
