Only issue is BMW have flirted with GP so may times, it's like Audi in F1, will they wont they

I get it, mind you WSB Riders done seem to perform in the GP world.
I dont think Jack would be expensive now by any means. I would suggest a bargin price.

anyway maybe some announcements soon.

Toprak is a very special rider in my opinion so would be able to adjust better than say a Bayliss or Edwards, who Colin in particular had a long career in GP after dominating SBK, as would Spies have potentially done were it not for injury.

WSB Guys generally under perfiorm.
I would take a Miller any day over a WSB guy ;0)

I guess one indicated might be me. I wont be trackside unfortunately, be further South , but I will be watching live 'barside' in the local sports 'English' pub. I have already checked if they still show live F1 and MotoGP in English.

[Gerard C]

Indeed, You. As to F1 in English, is it really important? I remember many bars, restaurants and hotels in your area to be held by Brits. Good ambiance I'd say. Have fun and don't forget they drive on the wrong side over there…

Interesting times thats for sure.
Have the Championship to deal with for 2024, that will great to see how its played out too !!!!

[Gerard C]

What I find worrying is when a real specialist of the series say that he thinks the hegemony of Ducati should last at least till 2027. I hope he's wrong.

[Sandgroper]

Well for this Aussie, I hope Miller is announced at Pramac this weekend.
Thats about the only seat left and his experience will surely help them develop a bike.

[Sandgroper]

Not many seats left now.................Pramac only ?

[Gerard C]

Unlikely now. WorldSBK?

Pramac to be announced in the comming weeks supposedly I just read.

[Gerard C]

Are we sure that Pramac do what they want or wish about riders and are not influenced by Ducati?

I don't hope they'll stop their efforts before the last race together with Ducati being fair play and supplying the best bikes possible.

[Sandgroper]

Pramac announcement #1 done = Olivera

Announcement #2 pending

[Sandgroper]

JACK ANNOUNCED, 1 year deal as expected.

Enjoy the ride
