All the MotoGP liveries for British GP - and what they reference https://lnkd.in/eWVekhCq MotoGP teams have unveiled an array of 12 special liveries that will contest the series' throwback-themed British Grand Prix, celebrating the championship's 75-year anniversary. There are only 11 teams on the current MotoGP grid, but LCR runs split liveries due to one entry being backed by Castrol and another by Idemitsu - so has likewise prepared two different colour schemes for the Silverstone race. The key word there is 'race', singular, as - as is usually the practice in MotoGP versus other championships - bikes usually only run in special colour schemes on the final day of the race weekend, and this is again expected to be the case here. Here are the liveries in current championship order, and what the inspiration behind them is (...).

🏁Marc Márquez opens up about his first week racing outside the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) team, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career. Here's what he had to say about his performance: "Of course, we tried and we pushed [for the podium], but it was not possible. They were faster than me. But it's not a frustration because I already said on Thursday; Our position is 4th-5th-6th. In fact, yesterday 5th [in the Sprint] today 4th" His determination shines through as he continues to aim high, "Always the podium was close. But it's true that still I don't feel 100% comfortable to ride like I want. But let's see if we can improve for the next races." Marquez remains optimistic about the future, highlighting the importance of persistence and adaptation. As he adjusts to his new team dynamics and the feel of a different bike, there's a journey of adaptation ahead. "But let's see if we can improve for the next races." As Marquez navigates this transition, his resilience and relentless pursuit for improvement remain evident. The road ahead may be filled with new challenges, but his focus on progress and adaptation suggests exciting races are on the horizon. Here's to seeing how this new chapter unfolds for one of MotoGP's greats. 💪🔥 #MarcMarquez #NewChapter #MotoGPPassion #Marquez #MM93 #GresiniRacing #Ducati #MotoGP #MotoGP75 #469Motorsports

World Superbikes – Will Jonathan Rea Grab a Super 7th? The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series got underway (eventually) with the Daytona 500 on Monday. F1 2024 bursts into life next week. However, this weekend it’s the 2-wheel stars who take centre stage as the World Superbikes season launches at the famous Phillip Island Circuit in Australia. Unlike MotoGP, the bikes ridden in the WorldSBK competition are souped-up road-going models which can used by the general public. So, whereas MotoGP can be compared to Formula 1, i.e purpose build machines, WorldSBK in contrast is similar to sports car racing. #WorldSBK #WorldSuperbikes #JonathanRea #AlvaroBautista #MotoGP #Eurosport #PhillipIsland #Yahama #Ducati #Kawasaki #FIM https://lnkd.in/eX9euCqe

Putting the rest of the MotoGP puzzle together. In what has been undoubtedly the most manic rider market in perhaps even the history of MotoGP, there are still a handful of spots left to fill. These seats are namely at Trackhouse Aprilia, LCR Honda and Pramac (who make the switch to Yamaha). Though it is yet to be officially, announced, Fermin Aledguir is a Gresini rider in all but confirmation. While Miguel Oliveira seems to be the odds-on bet for the lead seat at Pramac, there isn’t a clear indicator of who will partner the Portuguese rider. It was speculated that either Alonso Lopez or Sergio Garcia could make the step up from Moto2. Both riders have had strong Moto2 campaigns thus far. There have been flashes of brilliance from Lopez, whilst Garcia has been the dark horse of Moto2 this year, the Spaniard currently a top the Moto2 standings. However, it has been reported by Motorsport.com’s Dutch site that the title sponsor of Pramac, Prima, wants neither Lopez nor Garcia on their bikes next season. This is reportedly due to the company wanting an Italian rider to fill at least one of the vacant spots. Tony Arbolino’s name has been thrown into the ring as a potential candidate for stepping onto the satellite Yamaha next year. Despite a difficult season, that has yielded the best of a 6th thus far, the Italian may have to find an increase in form to get his name on the dotted line. Another struggling rider in potential contention for the second Pramac seat is Jack Miller. The four-time race winner has had a bruising second season in orange, so much so that he was dropped in favour of rookie Acosta before the midway point of the year. Though Miller had previously stated that he hadn’t had a single offer, it was rumoured that Ducati had offered him Alvaro Bautista’s World Superbike seat. With still no confirmation of plans for next year from Bautista, a return to red could be an option for the Australian. Remy Gardner has also been linked to moving into the Pramac outfit, in what would be a return to the GP paddock. The Australian has been looking like the strongest Yamaha rider in World Superbikes this season, stepping onto the podium back in Assen. Gardner has made two GP appearances already this season, filling in for Alex Rins in Germany before taking over an injured Cal Crutchlow’s spot at the British GP. So, with at least some experience of the M1, Gardner could be a solid option for a second rider. It’s not just Pramac that has a spot that needs filling, as Trackhouse Aprilia are still searching for a rider to partner Raul Fernandez next season. After a pretty stellar start to his campaign, the smart money would have been on American Joe Roberts, seeing that it is an American-owned team...... https://lnkd.in/emetN2r8
