So at the beginning of the season it was reported that Aprilia was using this F-duct system that allows for a change in the aero behavior of the bike based on where the rider would put his arms, which gives Aprilia this big speed advantage (System explained in the linked video)

What I don’t get is why nobody else has added this feature since.

Each manufacturer gets one aero update per season (two for Yamaha under concessions apparently). Given the close title fight isnt it in Ducati interest to copy that system? Are they trying to? Has Ducati already introduced their seasonal change ? Has any other manufacturer?

I get that something like this can’t just be copied overnight, because the engineering is complex. But given the advantage it provides, surely the others will want it too, just like everyone copied Ducati’s ride height and holeshot devices.

Or have they all given up on 2026 development and put their full focus on the new regulations for 2027?

I think its absolutely crazy how Fabio's qualifying edge and race pace (if you could still call it that on a Yamaha) against his teamates wasn't stiffled that much by switching away from the Inline 4 he's used all his life in MotoGP.

I still see some people still talking about how Fabio might not be ready or will underperform next year due toxa lack of experience, but I think it's abundantly clear he's adapted immediately to the new platform and is ready for the Honda.

porque en los circuitos con curvas rápidas si ducati contra aprilia y este año a Aprilia se le da bien por el paquete aero que tiene.

Porque Ducati en los circuitos de curvas rápidas no copia el Paquete aero que tiene Aprilia y se las pone a la Ducati?

ojo no me juzgueis que no se si se puede hacer eso y si pueden penalizar al equipo.

On MotoGP.com, you could go to any race weekend and check the standings after the race was finished. It seems they’ve now been removed, is there any word on why, or if it’ll be back?

Big bummer for people like myself who like to track things like that.

I saw insta post from Raúl and Jorge in Indonesia. I wonder if msot of them stay in Asia and don't go back to Europe so they don't get jet lag again in Australia.

Clearly, this wasn't an easy weekend for us and nevertheless, in my opinion, a positive one. It brings new energy, not that of a win of course, but the kind that comes from the ability of seizing opportunities, gritting our teeth and scoring precious points, even though being on the defensive. That was exactly the case with our Sprint win and a 6th place finish in Sunday's long race. While the latter might seem a modest result, combined with Saturday’s win it allows us to leave here with our championship deficit completely unchanged. We limited the damage with pure skill and experience on a track we knew would be tough, perhaps our worst, and definitely one that favoured our opponents. In fact, on this a track, Marc had never managed to cross the finish line in a Sunday race before.

Yes, there is so much of Marc’s brilliance in this weekend: being ready when it matters most to snatch an unexpected first place, and showing the wits to manage critical moments when the bike isn't the strongest in the field, drawing the absolute maximum from every situation, even the most unfavourable.

A major obstacle is now behind us, having suffered no damage. In fact, we feel even stronger and more prepared now. That being said, it was a challenging GP for Ducati overall, as confirmed by the results of our other riders. We understood right from the start that today was going to be tough and that we’d have to fight. Our pace wasn't matching the best, so we had to adapt, without losing the inspiration, and looking at the bigger picture. And we did just that, with focus, awareness, and that healthy dose of humility that always does one good.

Every single race is now crucial for the final title showdown: this might seem a cliché, but it is so true! There has never been such a tight gap at this stage of the world championship: a real show. May the best man win, with that distinctive sportsmanship and fairness our beautiful sport deserves. Come on, Ducati!

I had the incredible good fortune to get paddock and grid access with Red Bull KTM's Tech3 at Mandalika over the weekend.

I heard the riders get through 6 sachets of electrolytes before the race, and it was 91°F (33°C) on the grid. No idea how they stay focused for 27 laps in that heat?

In his latest podcast episode, the former Ducati rider highlights what Aprilia’s Raul Fernandez managed to do after his Sprint crash in Mandalika, describing it as an incredibly difficult feat that requires great talent.

Hi everyone! This will be my first time attending the MotoGP Malaysian GP at Sepang, and I have a main grandstand ticket. I have a few questions about the fan activities, and I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has attended the Sepang GP before could share their experience!

Grandstand access on Friday: I saw someone mention that all grandstands are open to spectators on Friday. Is this actually a thing, and does it apply to all ticket holders, regardless of ticket type?

Rider autograph sessions: After collecting a wristband, can you leave the queue and come back later, or do you have to stay in line? Also, how early do people usually start queuing?

Hero Walk: How crowded does it usually get? How far do you have to run from the main entrance to the Hero Walk area? If I want to get a spot at the front, do I need to sprint the whole way?

Pit Lane Walk: How are the queues usually organized? After collecting a wristband, can you leave and come back, or do you have to wait in the queue the entire time?

Thanks so much for any help! I really appreciate it! 🏁

We can not begin to imagine the searing disappointment and heartache that Alex Escrig must have felt when cruel fate and a mechanical error robbed him of his first Moto2 GP victory within smelling distance of the finish line.

A trawl through the archives unearthed this video of a much smaller Alex, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, waxing lyrically about his racing program and - plans.

anda circulando por ahí que el equipo va hacer eso, y mi pregunta sera marc también podría hacer que le ayuden para el que gane el mundial o lo dejarán solo contra las 4 aprilia?

porque el siguiente gran premio es en Philip island donde es un circuito antihorario (beneficia a marc) pero hay muchas curvas rápida y es lo que se le da bien este año a las Aprilia con todo el paquete aero que tiene.

Marc podría ganar este mundial o lo tiene difícil?
