None of us work for HRC. It’s their call. We can’t see into the future to know what will happen. Time will tell.

 Whats the age difference between the brothers? Marc might have a dynasty concept in mind with his brother as his logical successor.

Quite tall for a racer, like VR.

HRC is 100% focused on MM. Neither Pedrosa nor Lorenzo, 2 of the best riders of this past "generation", could come to grips with this bike. I doubt anyone in the paddock today, other than MM, can win on a regular basis. Even MM crashes it constantly, just that he saves most of them. Could you imagine how unstoppable he would be with a decent bike?!

AM will struggle, but he would not be any different, so he will remain in HRC while they want to keep MM happy. These are not the days of them losing Rossi. They will move mountains to keep MM happy. If things get hairy between brothers, AM will be out. Simple.

It sounds like Ducati will force Avintia into being a decent team if it means getting Zarco. So considering that Jack has basically outperformed all other Ducatis it is safe to say that unless something changes drastically next year, he will be in the factory team on 2021. The question would be if Dovi will be next door. If Zarco signs for Avintia and rides decently, would they sign him over Dovi?! What happens to Pecco? This is the breakdown of Ducati between 2020 and 2021...

2020 Factory
Dovi and Petrucci

2020 Pramac
Jack and Pecco

2020 Avintia
Tito and Zarco

While writing this I was listening to the test. I just heard this:

Factory 2021
Jack and... MV?!

Yamaha Factory
Rossi and Quatararo

The above is obviously assuming Rossi does not retire. If he does retire, then I don't see Yamaha losing MV and then the questions would be if Zarco does well enough to push Dovi out. If Zarco sucks as much on the Duc as he did with the KTM, then whatevs

Not yet confirmed, but several media outlets are reporting Zarco has signed with Avintia.

He makes some good points, mainly that he has his daddy's money keeping him in MotoGP.

Falling back on the money argument looks pretty weak.

It's all about the money, Tony.

Yep, Karel knows it. I hope Ducati steps in to cover the shortfall and upgrade Z's bike.
