Results and notes on a very messy session of practice for the MotoGP class at Barcelona. Aleix Espargaro quickest, Pedro Acosta impressive, Brad Binder crashes twice and still finishes second, Pecco Bagnaia is the only Ducati in the top 5, Marc Marquez in Q1

Thursday MotoGP Barcelona round up posted. Why did Aleix Espargaro choose this moment to retire? What role did brother Pol play? And is there more to life than racing?

All this and more

An exceptional press conference will be held with Aleix Espargaro at 3:15pm CEST. I'll let you guess what it's about, but I don't think it will be to announce a new sunglasses sponsor

Barcelona MotoGP preview posted: Barcelona is an Aprilia track now. Does this mean an Aleix Espargaro victory? And what effect will this race have on Ducati's decision for the second rider in the factory team?

Where are we with the MotoGP rider market? Absolutely all over the place. Martin to Ducati? KTM? Aprilia? Marquez to Pramac? KTM? Bastianini to Yamaha or Aprilia? Pramac to stick with Ducati? Luca Marini and Joan Mir to Trackhouse Aprilia?

MotoGP is off on one

Older, Wiser, Calmer: Why Johann Zarco's Honda Move Is Nothing Like His Time At KTM
https://motomatters.com/analysis/2024/05/21/older_wiser_calmer_why_johann_zarco_s.html

@motomatters@masto.ai avatar

When Johann Zarco announced he was signing for Honda, we were expecting a disaster, given his time with KTM.

But this time really is different. Zarco is wider, more mature, and much, much better in 2024 than in 2019. Is he Honda's best hope of progress?

Editor's Blog: More Paperwork

jonoabroad, to random

@motomatters oh god, It look until the interview for it to sink in that the aero and ride height devices were ways to work around the excess horsepower.

You don't need usable horsepower if you have rider aids to work around that excess power.
