Super silly season this year! If you would have told me that MV and Dovi would be fighting for a seat with Aprilia I would have said you were crazy

Just my opinion...sorry Kopf.

Mav is a head case. Aprilia will be better off with the old man.

Yamaha should promote Franco and bring up some a Moto2 guy to the Petronas seat. Aprilia then has a choice between MV and Dovi

They’re all head cases, but that’s what drives them to chase perfection.



Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. "Vince Lombardi" Why even try to be perfect if perfection is unattainable? For the passionate, our passion is striving for perfect, even if they do not actually achieve it.

Absolutely. None of them are what we’d call “normal”. Most people won’t go to work if they have a cold.

Most champs are maniacal and unbalanced personalities until retirement and a few kids (maybe). If they evolve into nice people they can become commentators Grin

Speaking of retirement. WTF is Rossi doing?

I think he's hoping to be the old mentor in his team but if he's too slow he might run it. He did say he thought it would be difficult to get a ride.

I kinda knew some of this, but learned an immense amount from https://motomatters.com/analysis/2021/06/29/maverick_vi_ales_wild_weird_weekend_and.html In particular, his analysis of why Quantararo was able to set up passing opportunities that Viñales found "impossible" on the Yamaha opened my eyes.

I wish Maverick all the best with Aprilia if that's where he lands, though I find it hard to imagine he'll find that bike and the factory's ability to respond quickly to his feedback more to his liking. But for a real shitshow, play out what it would look like if the alternative speculations that put him on the seat of a Ducati with the VR46 team come true...  Undecided

Fair enough.

Same reason Stoner could win on the Ducati, and Rossi couldn’t get out of his own way. It’s not the arrow, it’s the Indian.
