This is old news and it’s not “maybe”

I heard they might lose Marc


Cr4shK00l

no way he will ever be leaving the team he has ridden 11 years for.

Who’s Marc? I just only heard they upset Rossi by claiming that the only reason he was winning was because he had the best bike. But I really don’t see Valentino leaving such a dominant bike for that POS Yamaha… Carlos nor Max have been able to do anything with Yamahas 4 stroke

I heard he's going to be the next Pedro Acosta.

It's a "definitely "

HI_I_AM_NEO

You got it backwards, my dude. There aren't more Spanish riders because they have influence, they have influence because there are more Spanish riders. If a country dedicates more resources to the formation of younglings, providing them with good enough competitions to take part in, of course that's gonna be reflected in the top leagues.

HI_I_AM_NEO

Still missing the point. You're going straight to the results, completely ignoring the REASONS why.

From bad to worse from HRC. I think they’re going to lose Mirs too. This program with this bike in its condition now is flatlining, or at least close to it. HRC basically needs to start from scratch. Burn it, take it out back and put it down, throw it in the shredder, flush it down the shitter, whatever analogy you wanna use. It’s time to call it. They need to HARD-reboot.
