Between Zarco and Bagnaia for the seat according to Ducati.
Financially everyone is going to be living in a different world for the foreseeable future.

I read a quote that Lorenzo was still possible although Zarco would seem more likely.

Lorenzo would be a backwards move in my opinion. His best days are in the past.

Time to move to the next generation which is what Ciabatti referred to in his interview on BT sport.

Yeah agree the youngsters are the future but personally I would love Lorenzo to do another season.

He was a race winner on the Ducati in 2018 once Ducati finally listened to him. If they had listened earlier what might have been :?

I think Pol will go well tomorrow, he's looking good on the KTM. Maybe HRC have made a smart move there.

I think Pol has made a mistake he is going from a bike that is a race winner and improving to a bike that seems only to be able to be ridden quickly by MM .

Good point and agree. The KTM is so much better this year.

Red Bull money and Dani Pedrosa development are paying big dividends (y)

I think the angle is deceiving I think the bike has just cleared him before coming down again .

Maybe that's the case but either way.. that's terrifying! I presume barriers are being designed as we speak.
