#2025 MotoGP Silly season

[42bakery]

Well Martín has just said he only will ride for a factory and doesn't matter which factory.

And Pol has just said it could be an Honda and that there's no space for him in KTM unless it's in GasGas

Does it say Prima Pramac?

Is this how why find Fermín is going to ride in Pramac? (In Jorge's seat?)

[42bakery]

I feel like Ducati are just shooting at their feet at this point. They lost Enea, they nearly lost Marc and now they are going to lose Martín. And who knows, they might lose Marc too if this issue is not solved quickly enough.

So Fermín at the Ducati seat for 2025?

[42bakery]

I think that all of this is DAZN's fault. They were playing an interview with Marc when they were getting ready to have one with Martín and he listened to it.

In the interview Marc said that he had several meetings with Ducati and the management (I can't remember if he said that he was on those or if it was only implied). Also that everything he had asked had been delivered or accommodated. After hearing that, Jorge behavior changed. he was more serious and uncomfortable.

Honestly it was a simple mistake of putting that interview when they were getting ready to do another. But it showed Jorge how different their situations and how Ducati was treating them. he had had only 1 meeting and he wasn't present. He had been complaining of vibrations until recently and Ducati said it wasn't their priority .

And sorry you can't call that fumble. He told Ducati he wanted the Factory seat and he deserved it, and Ducati had been toying with him for a long time. So if he really did that. Bravo. Bravo for actually growing a pair and not waiting for those cunts to kick him. Him moving shows he had more options and that maybe Ducati and their management is not the centre of MotoGP's world

take this with a pinch of salt, but here what it says:

internal sources says that after the sprint in mugello jorge went straight to dall’igna to demand an answer about the 2nd seat choice. gigi ofc wanted to wait until assen. they ended up having a fight, and that’s when gigi said that marc was ducati’s choice. ???

that’s why jorge was very nervous on saturday, and that’s why dovi said something about hearing “not very nice” rumors.

martin practically fumbled that seat.

they’re also sure about enea ending up in gasgas (im gonna kms)

I was asked by @milla8920 to write a things you said when you were drunk for Pedro and Fermín. Where here it is. It's set after the 2023 Valencian GP. Tw: mention of alcohol

‘You're fucking annoying' it's what Fermín heard when he opens the door of his room at the motorhome hotel. It's pretty late, and he wasn't expecting anyone, so it comes as a complete surprise to be greeted like this.

‘Good evening to you too' responds. The SpeedUP rider can't believe what his eyes are seeing, the recently crowned Moto2 World Champion is in front of him, and he's drunk. ‘And why am I annoying?' He doesn't really want to know, but he is curious why the other rider is here, instead of at his motorhome or celebrating with his family or the team. It's also safer for the KTM rider to be here with him than elsewhere getting himself in trouble.

‘Because' Pedro moves the other rider aside to enter the room completely uninvited, where he makes himself at home and sits on the bed. ‘Because I'm the one, I won the championship, but everyone is talking about you and your spectacular end of the season. Or how you'll be a MotoGP rider, etc.'

'Right. I'm so annoying because I'm doing my best.' He sits next to the other rider on his own bed that has been taken over by the other rider. ‘Sorry for doing my job, I guess' huffs.

‘Yes, because you are always overshadowing what I do. Like when I won the Moto3 championship, but people had to talk about your season in MotoE and Moto2 and your own Championship. No matter what I do, you'll be there too' complains.

Fermín sighs, not knowing how to respond to the drunk rambles of the other rider. He also doesn't have the heart to kick him, despite knowing he has to get up early for tomorrow's test. It doesn't matter what the SpeedUP rider wants to do, Pedro is already lying on his bed.

‘Look at the bright side, you won't hear about me next year' tries to console Fermín. It's a way to calm and placate the drunk rider.

‘Hell no. You'll fight for the championship and your name will be in every team principal's mouth during the silly season as everyone wants you'. Pedro turns his head to look at him, ‘unless you have already signed with Pramac. Did you do that?' Fermín doesn't answer, he just lies next to Pedro in the narrow space of the single bed. ‘Oh, you did, bastard. You will ride that sweet Ducati in 2025' decides Pedro, who is pouting.

Fermín can only laugh at that. It's been so long since he saw the other rider this relaxed and with a pout. ‘I didn't sign with them, at least not yet' explains, but they both know that doesn't mean he couldn't do it tomorrow or in the near future. ‘Look, you are drunk, and in my room, let's sleep like when we were kids, okay?' Proposes. In reality, the SpeedUP rider is terrified to send Pedro out alone. He doesn't know what type of troubles he can get if he goes like this around the paddock knocking on doors and searching for troubles.

‘But I don't want to sleep, and we are old now, and you have López' rambles the shorter rider. In the way it's said, it's like one single word that takes a while for the SpeedUP rider to understand. The lower lip is pushed further forward even more, showing his displeasure.

‘Look, even if we're older, we still need to sleep and that doesn't mean we can't share a bed, besides, there's nothing to worry about, Alonso won't bother us. He is out there celebrating with Jaume' as he responds, the taller rider is moving around to prepare the bed so they can go to sleep.

‘He’s an idiot,’ yawns the KTM rider, ‘I’d prefer to celebrate with you rather than Jaume. He’s boring, and you are fun to be around’ says nonchalantly as he crawls under the bedsheets. It’s a tight squeeze, but they managed to fit both of them in the single bed.

‘I thought you said I’m annoying’ reminds the taller rider with a smile on his face. He is looking carefully at Pedro’s face, trying to study him and making sure he’s okay.

‘You’re, but you’re also my annoyance’ yaws again the shorter rider. Despite Pedro saying he doesn’t want to sleep, he’s the first one to fall under Morpheus' spell. Fermín stays away for a bit longer, making sure that the KTM rider is okay.

‘Ugh' groans Pedro as soon as he opens his eyes. His head hurts like he has been tumbling around the gravel trap for hours without a stop.

‘Your head hurts?' Questions whatever his head is resting on. It takes a while for the KTM rider to register that he isn't sleeping with his head on his pillow, blame it on the alcohol in his bloodstream or how sleepy he is at the moment. However, as soon as he notices it, he figures his head is resting on a man's chest that he is too familiar with.

‘Shut up, I want to go back to sleep' closes his eyes again, while Fermín laughs at him and the situation. None of them move a bit, even if they know the younger needs to prepare for the Moto2 post-season test and Pedro is required at the Tech3 garage.

‘You can stay if you want, but I need to get up. I have a test to attend' reminds the SpeedUP rider. With more groaning, and with his eyes still closed, the shorter one moves his head from Fermín's chest to the pillow.

‘Have you been told how annoying you are? Because you're a pain in the ass' ask the MotoGP rider while hugging the pillow. It's too soft for him to go back to sleep.

‘You did it yesterday, but you also told me I'm your annoyance, so I took it as a compliment'. Pedro doesn't need to look at the other rider's face to know he is smiling. ‘But as I said, you can stay for as long as you want, just leave the key in my office or give it to Héctor later'. The young one is already ready to leave the room and go back to his team.

‘Or maybe you can come later by my motorhome and pick it yourself’ Pedro is now fully awake and watching the other rider at the door. ‘You know, if you ever need a space to disconnect and hang out you can go there’ proposes. ‘Or we can share the space’ the KTM has thrown himself out there, without knowing how his advances would be received or interpreted.

‘Sure, but make sure to have enough space’ even if it’s unsaid, both riders know it’s about the bed and not a bigger motorhome with a second bedroom.

Fermín is already leaving the room, so Pedro has to scream ‘but López isn't allowed inside’. The SpeedUP rider’s giggles can be heard, even if he hasn’t responded to that. Or at least Pedro didn’t hear anything with the door being closed.

Do you know how all of Tumblr though Fermín to Gresini if Pramac goes to Yamaha? Well Jove says is more likely to go to VR46.

And apparently he has details of the contract and Ducati is already playing with him. Jové affirms that his contract i 2025 with a bike to Ducati's discretion (Fermín say he was told a 2025), but in 2026 it's a 2026 bike

[42bakery]

Yes to Suzuki. Please I need it 🙏

But instead of Kawasaki, who is in a deep hole in WSBK at the moment, can I suggest BMW that is thriving? They can even bring Toprak with them.

Genuinely though what’s gonna happen next? Suzuki come back and take Joan and Alex back? Kawasaki appear out of nowhere and steal Fabio? Pecco says fuck it and goes to Honda? My brain is fried

I figured why Mack is going to KTM. He wants to be babied by Dani. He figured that going to Tech3 will mean Dani will be his babysitter.

Or maybe is because he wants to always be able to call Dani and ask for advice

[42bakery]

I love and I agree with Daniel's analysis on how the Ducati mess developed. Only 2 people won, Marc and Dall'Igna and the rest is collaterals

[42bakery]

What do you mean Sasaki might go back to Moto3?! No just no. Please no.

If this is true it proves me that the Master Camp VR46 is there to just destroy the carrers of the Asian riders. They give opportunities and cuddle the European riders (that don't need it) and they kick the Asian ones after just 1 season, not giving them the opportunity to learn the track and bike properly.

[42bakery]

Wait if Ai is going to Trackhouse, this means Oliveira goes to Pramac?

[42bakery]

I'm sorry what?! Dani who hates politics and media and loves to race is douing a turn? I can't believe it

According to GPOne Francesco Guidotti will no longer be KTM's team manager next year and Pedrosa could be the one to replace him😳
