Acosta stars, crazy aero - What we learned from MotoGP shakedown https://lnkd.in/eANvTGz3 The first major track action of the 2024 MotoGP season has come a little earlier this year - thanks to new concession rules that allowed for the three-day Sepang shakedown to be attended not just by factory test riders and rookies, but the actual race teams of struggling manufacturers Honda and Yamaha. And while the Malaysian outing was largely closed off to the media and with riders mostly (more on that later) not speaking about their experiences until the main three-day test early next week, there was still plenty to notice from trackside - and from the timing screens. Without the full grid, it’s of course still hard to piece together too much of what the season will look like - but that doesn't mean that there weren't still some interesting things on show. We always knew that rookie sensation Pedro Acosta was going to get on pace in MotoGP, given his remarkable progression through the ranks of Moto2 and Moto3 over the course of only three seasons. Ending the final day of the test fastest overall, he was only a tenth of a second away from the qualifying time set by top KTM racer Brad Binder at October’s race. Among the most noticeable things on show was KTM’s continuing aero push - and the lengths to which it's gone in hiding its various developments. Designed with the full might of partner Red Bull's F1 aero team, it’s quite obvious that there’s been an injection of new thinking (...).

Formula1 Vs MotoGP. A Team Oriented versus a Star Oriented championship.   In search of the formula for success.   Formula 1 and MotoGP represent the best of motorsport on 2 and 4 wheels. With 24 and 21 race weekends respectively, the two championships are a traveling promotional platform that over the course of 10 months touch some of the world’s most important markets. There are no other leagues comparable in geographical impact and frequency of events. Only the Olympics and World Cup enjoy the same prestige but the frequency is four years while the Champions Cup is a European phenomenon. What are the main differences between the two championships? The show. The two championships are profoundly different, offering a show at the antipodes in terms of the nature of the vehicles, the length of the races, and the simplicity (or complication in the case of F1) of the racing. The 45 minutes duration of MotoGP is ideal for keeping the audience’s attention high. The number and quality of overtakes ensure high tension at each event. The introduction of the sprint race on Saturday further enhanced these features by making MotoGP, if possible, even more engaging by producing content-rich weekends making the most of a potentially less interesting day. But there is more. And what is going to happen in the coming years…Aerodynamics in MotoGP and Tire Changes in Formula 1, are we really sure we need them? 👇 https://lnkd.in/ef4qUgsd #MotoGP #Formula1 #professionals

Here’s a link to an article I wrote for Solent Sports News about F1 and MotoGP, would greatly appreciate a read and any feedback https://lnkd.in/etk5kKSE

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 (...).

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

Work hard, play hard. Definitely, having fun is key when striving for excellence. Moto2 is the middle category in the MotoGP™ circus. Same motor, little chassis variation, no electronics... The aftermath, all is on the Rider. Oldstyle. What I find extremely captivating is, how these youngsters are able to combine friendship with huge competitiveness levels... and obviously, grasping life with tons of fun! I'm talking here about Moto2 teammates Fermin Aldeguer and Alonso Lopez. You can find this in our more standard lifes too. I've seen hundreds of times how teammates in selling groups (often friends) fight for the same piece of market share; how they compare to each other WEEKLY in the selling-rankings; etc... Without any halo or famous reputation (immense respect for them), they are pushed to the same level of performance and stress... if there is fun in the equation, the thing is virtuous. Shout out to those of you who are "work hard, play hard" addicted!!! #personaldevelopment #coaching #sports #leadership
