I need Honda and Mooney to close their line ups because that is blocking Moto2 grid.

Like D'antic and Master Camp both want Fermín but he won't say anything waiting for Mooney, and they are waiting for Honda. And Honda is refusing to make a decision until Mooney have a replacement.

Also Master Camp is interested in Alonso if they can't get Fermín.

Peak of Silly season

Four in a row! Fermin Aldeguer makes some Moto2 history

That's a wrap for 2023 in the FIM Moto2™ World Championship and Fermin Aldeguer (CAG SpeedUp) stole the limelight yet again as he took his fifth victory of the season and fourth in a row. The Spaniard was untouchable as Aron Canet (Pons Wegow Los40) had to settle for P2, with Alonso Lopez (CAG SpeedUp) coming out on top in the battle for the final podium spot in P3. The Boscoscuro rider stretched the field right from the beginning as he had Canet clinging onto his coattails in second place. With 20 laps to go they already had a substantial gap to Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing) in third as the hot pace from Aldeguer stretched out the top five. Ramirez was out of touch to threaten the top two and had Jake Dixon (Inde GASGAS Aspar Team) for company as the Brit was desperate to find his way through with the prospect of a third overall in the Championship still tangible.

However, at the front Canet was confidently responding to Aldeguer's pace, and the two were Dixon's rivals in the fight for third overall. With 17 laps to go Canet was the fastest rider on the circuit too as he set the quickest lap of the race so far and bettered it one lap later. The battle for 3rd then began to hot up even more as a flying Lopez caught Ramirez and Dixon as he brought Somkiat Chantra (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) to join the party with him. But Lopez made his way through on Dixon with 14 laps remaining. The Spaniard was on a charge after fighting his way up from 14th on the grid to sit in fourth place with his sights set on Ramirez ahead of him. 12 laps to go and Aldeguer was able to extend the gap to 1.5s. The Spaniard continued to put down his relentless pace and took victory in Valencia by 3.982s, with Canet bringing home second. The fight for the final place on the podium went absolutely to the wire as Lopez got through on Ramirez but the American Racing rider then went for a lunge at the final corner on the final lap. It was a well-judged one, but Lopez got the cutback and won the drag to the line. The points scorers Behind Ramirez in P4, Chantra got the better of Dixon in the end as the Thai rider capped off his 2023 season with a 5th place as he pulled eight tenths on the Brit in P6. Dixon ends 2023 fourth overall, with his compatriot Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) completing his final Grand Prix race in seventh as he gets set for a move to the WorldSBK paddock. Joe Roberts (Italtrans Racing Team) took eighth ahead of his teammate Dennis Foggia, with Albert Arenas (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completing the top 10. Ai Ogura (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) claimed P11 ahead of World Champion Acosta, who ended his season with a P12 after a fraught start and tougher race. The Spaniard's attentions now turn to Tuesday's Valencia Test. The final point scorers were Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Mastercamp), Barry Baltus (Fieten Olie Racing GP) and Jeremy Alcoba (Gresini Racing Moto2™) who took 13th, 14th, and 15th respectively. That's it for Moto2™ in 2023 and what a season it has been! Acosta leaves as a World Champion as Aldeguer sends a huge message to his rivals ahead of 2024… watch this space!

It all indicates that finally Aldeguer is not going to be Joan Mir's teammate. According to information shared with people aroud the rider, he's going to stay in Moto2, now we need to see if in the Boscoscuro (SpeedUP Team) or Master Camp (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Team). So right now, it seems like Diggia will be the one to sign for one year.

[waru-chan8]

Which team? SpeedUP? Fantic? Master Camp? Everyone wants Fermín, and now Boscoscuro is wearing proudly all the medals of 'This is my child and my discovery', when in India was so pissed and even was suggested he might not have a seat

God I'm getting so tired of this, Fermin just fucking stay another year

[waru-chan8]

So it was Manu's and his managers (yes plural) the ones who wanted to change. Gelete and the team tried to do everything for him to stay.

Yamaha is also involved on who is going to be their second rider, and a lot of riders are interested in that seat (Yamaha support)

[waru-chan8]

Hi waru I need the tea on Manuel Gonzalez pls (I'm really nosy sorry)

There's not s lot of tea on him. I just don't agree with his actitud, he is too damn cocky in a way that makes all my bells go off. Maybe someone from the WSBK gang ( @alex-marquez @worldchampionpeccobagnaia @celestinovietti ) had more tea on him from his time at WSSP and WSSP300. (I only saw him competing 1 yearn in WSSP and I was fine with him back then, true that he had less TV coverage than now).

My problem is his team manager Gelete Nieto (he is Mooney's team manager (Pablo Nieto) older brother and Ángel Nieto sons (biggest Spanish legend (12+1 World championship in 125cc and 250cc)), so he is PR trained).

For starters, he is more concerned about the bike than for his riders. I do remember last year there was a very particular bad crash, and he first talked about the bikes damaged, and then went and said 'oh and our rider is fine, by the way' as an after thought.

And then it comes to he hates his Asian (non-European or not Manu really) rider. He had made dismissive comments about the their other riders, no matter who they are. He is only happy for Manu and only focussed on him. He pretty much implied that Asian riders are not suited to the championship and perform worst than the European (but mainly Spanish and Italian) riders. I do get that he had not control whatsoever in the riders choice. The team is basically a Yamaha controlled team with Vale's seal of approval, and therefore, one of the seats is always going to go to an Asian rider and he is not happy about it.

So because I don't want to hear Gelete's praised on Manu awhile dragging the other riders I just prefer to not see Manu in the podium.

Also sorry for the delay in was live bloggin from the phone and it's messy for me, and answer ask there is a hard pass for me.

[waru-chan8]

The Sasaki to Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Team rumours better be false. I don't want him there

[waru-chan8]

Can Yamaha and Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Team stop changing their squad every year?

Let me Nozane truly learn all the tracks and the bike. 1 years is eno!

[waru-chan8]

are there any problematic motogp riders i should know about or avoid?

Hi anon 👋👋. oh boy I'm going to get so much hate for this

You all people need to stop putting riders into pedestals and thinking they are perfects because they are not. They are humans, and they all have faults (some more visible than others). Also what someone considers problematic might not be for others. Like for example, Vale and Marc are both experts in manipulate the media to suit their narratives and that can be a red flag for some people. Or maybe Aleix being too direct can be seen as negative because his mouth has put him in so much trouble.

Anyway said this here (under the cut for those who want to avoid it) it is what I remember at the moment. If anyone wants to add something, feel free to do it.

First of all we have a lot of riders and engineers living in Andorra that is tax haven (Aleix, Pol, Rins, Fabio Q., Iker, Joan, Brad, Miller and The Team Suzuki ECSTAR crew used to live there, also Maverick used to live in Andorra (apparently he went back to Roses after having his daughter)). And Rossi also used to live in London and got in troubles for that.

Then we have the misogynistic comments from Miller (he said something of mocking a friend every time he lost in a race against María Herrera, the borderline treatment Vanessa, the Inside Pass host get from him and the mockery) and Pecco Bagnaia who said 'I was like a women in my period complaining ad moaning' after he broke his leg. Oh and don't forget Miller called other riders princesses for complaining about their bike instead of just riding it.

And we have racist comments from Yamaha's test rider Cal Crutchlow who refused to shake hands with an Asian fan during the pandemic and said something about all of it (pandemic) being because someone eat something he shouldn't. Probably there is more, but I don't really remember. And the worst part is that his team manager, Lucio Cecchinello covered it all. Lucio is also not a saint, he treats differently Rins than he does with Nakagami (brought Rins to his museum and told him to get a podium because it will be X (I can't remember probably 50 or 100) podium of the team, but I can't remember him doing it with Nakagami. There's also Gelete Nieto (Moto2 team manager (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp or something like that)) who literally said that Asian riders do much worse that the European ones.

Then we have Fabio Quartararo, who had endangered himself and other riders by riding with his leathers open and throwing the chest protector in the middle of a race track while there was a race going on. And when celebrating a victory, we throw a golf a ball where there was still bikes on track.

And Pecco Bagnaia during the 2022 summer got drunk in Ibiza, got in the car and had an accident (crashed it into a roundabout) and only got a slap in the wrist. He also dedicated a special helmet to Dennis Rodman (if you don't know him, go and read his wiki page). There something less controversial about him, but still put him as a red flag. When he doesn't get what he wants, he goes to the media and cry and gets it. He also believes no one can race him on a race on the race track and never will admit his mistakes. And because we are on the Pecco topic, Ducati just put all o this under the rug and gives him whatever he wants. Ducai actually banned one jorno for commenting on one of this thing because it annoyed Pecco.

And let's not forget Johann Zarco, the dirtiest rider of all! He is like a kid on the track, when he knows he is going to lose and he doesn't want to and got the wired crossed, he does dumb stuff to endanger other riders. He recently had an incident that ended in red flag, and was the cause that Maverick and Vale where reborn during Race 1 in Austria 2020. And previously he tried to grab the break of another rider at the end of a race (last lap, after the final corner) because he knew he was going to lose de to the slipstream (Zarco was fighting for the championship that year and winning that race would have helped him)! Fortunately nothing happened in there but it could have ended in disaster.

And the ex-riders:

Dani Pedrosa, actually spend a night in jail for cheating on a boat exam and got arrested. He apologised immediately even if it wasn't necessary.

Aspar (MotoGP legend and Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE team owner) and Jorge Lorenzo got in trouble with the Spanish public tresor.

Canet & Öncü set the pace in Moto2 and Moto3 Jerez Test

A day after the MotoGP™ teams and riders were busy running through their testing agendas at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto, it was the turn of some Moto2™ and Moto3™ outfits to do the same. Aron Canet (Pons Wegow Los40) and Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) set the quickest times in their respective classes, with each category enjoying three sessions on Tuesday.

Moto2™ It was a great day for the Pons Wegow Los40 team as they locked out the top two positions, with impressive rookie Sergio Garcia joining Canet at the summit. And it was close between their pair as just 0.018s split the two Spaniards in Andalucia. Saying it was close inside the top 10 doesn’t really cut the mustard thereafter, either. The top five of Canet, Garcia, Jake Dixon (Autosolar GASGAS Aspar M2), Sunday’s race winner Sam Lowes (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) and Albert Arenas (Red Bull KTM Ajo) were covered by less than a tenth. Sixth place Tony Arbolino (Elf Marc VDS Racing Team) was only 0.102s off, while Ai Ogura (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) – who was unhurt in a crash – and Manuel Gonzalez (Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp Team) were two tenths adrift in P7 and P8. World Championship leader Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) didn’t take part in the Jerez Test, with 20 of the full-time Moto2™ field lapping on Tuesday. Moto2 Top 4 - Official Test - Jerez - 2nd May 2023 1. Aron CANET - SPA - Pons Wegow Los40 - 1'41.264 2. Sergio GARCIA - SPA - Pons Wegow Los40 - 0.018 3. Jake DIXON - GBR - Inde GASGAS Aspar M2 - +0.054 4. Sam LOWES - GBR - Elf Marc VDS Racing - +0.093 18. Rory SKINNER - GBR - American Racing - +1.538

Moto3™ In the Moto3™ class, Spanish GP polesitter Öncü set the pace by well over half a second on Tuesday. The top five fastest riders completed their best laps in the opening session of the Test, with Jerez podium finisher David Alonso (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar M3) sitting as Öncü’s closest challenger – 0.642s adrift. Xavier Artigas (CFMOTO Racing PrüstelGP) rounded out the top three and was the only other rider in the 1:45 bracket, as reigning JuniorGP™ and Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup Champion Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) pipped Diogo Moreira (MT Helmets – MSI) to round out the top five. Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) was the other rider within a second of Öncü’s time in P6. World Championship leader Dani Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech3) was in P11 just behind Sunday's back-to-back winner Ivan Ortola (MTA Angeluss). All in all, a busy day all in all for the intermediate and lightweight classes! Next up: the 1000th Grand Prix at the world-famous Le Mans. Moto3 Top 4 - Official Test - Jerez - 2nd May 2023 1.
