We can only hope it stays at Philip Island.

Might be a bit of a premature post, but who are your guys' title favourites/challengers in Moto2 and Moto3 next season? Mine are below:

Moto2:

• Ivan Ortola - My personal favourite, currently 4th in his sophomore Moto2 season and has renewed with MSI for 2027
• Manu Gonzalez - A very obvious one, he'll be going into his 6th Moto2 season and it will be his last chance at a MotoGP ride
• Alex Escrig - Switching from a Forward to Kalex for 2027 with Italtrans, he has already shown his ability on lesser machinery this season, picking up Forward's first ever podium
• Dani Munoz - I expected a lot more from Dani this season after his stint with the Ajo squad replacing Oncu last season, but I expect him to improve a lot next season in his 2nd full season with Italtrans

Moto3:

• Brian Uriarte - Already picked up 2 wins in his rookie season and riding for one of the best Moto3 teams, I expect him to go even further in 2027
• David Almansa - Currently 2nd in the championship despite only starting 9/12 races, 2 wins in a peculiar season for him
• Marco Morelli - A slightly inconsistent 2026 but I expect with an Aspar ride in Moto2 on the horizon he will step up next season
• Matteo Bertelle - At the time of writing he doesn't actually have a seat in Moto3 for next season, and he is currently 22 years old, but he is rapid on his day and if he lands at a solid team for next season, he could become a title challenger

+ hopefully Eddie O'Shea and Scott Ogden can be up there!

Really struggling to wrap my head around why Ducati would choose Franco over Gonzalez for their factory WSBK seat next year.

Manu is younger and clearly faster at this point. He's also leading the moto2 championship. I get that Franco is Italian and has more experience, but he's honestly been in decline for several years.

Is it really just the Italian thing with them having already signed Iker or is there something else at play? My conspiracy theory is VR46 made it a condition of them taking Bulega in MotoGP.

The proposed route of the controversial MotoGP race track is set to be released for community consultation within weeks.

The South Australian government denies that a map, which has been widely circulated online, is a leaked version of the final design.

I was looking at the tickets and saw marc marquez tribune at the k1 grandstand .
Is this from this year only or was it there the previous year .

Will marc come and celebrate over there if he wins the gp (fingers crossed )

Want to know how the atmosphere is considering im a diehard marquez fan.

Or is it better to get the main grandstand or F stands.
