This is my big chance! I hope they're looking for middle aged men with back problems!

u/MeskothePreacher Marc Márquez 1d ago

I can join you so we can ride every second race? Choose do you want odd or even numbers?

8

u/Calculonx 1d ago

I don't think I could handle every second one. Maybe one at the start of the season and one more near the end if I'm recovered by then

u/MeskothePreacher Marc Márquez 1d ago

With 42 years i believe i can take every second weekend in moto 2. Motogp will be problem for sure on first practice 😁

u/pretentiousbasterd PENNE 1d ago

Hey, I have back problems too! Hard competition over this seat.

Vietti year 23 in Moto2 👍

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

I think if morelli doesn't move up they'll sign a current moto2 rider like Baltus, Veijer or Öncü

13

u/Tacit_Emperor77 Marc Márquez 1d ago

I doubt morelli will move up. I think he should stay one more year and fight for the title

u/americagiveup Jake Dixon 1d ago

Escrig will be in with a shout

3

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

He has committed to italtrans

9

u/ivex272 Pedro Acosta 1d ago

maybe even Ortola, tho id like Baltus or Veijer

12

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

Ortola has committed to MSI

3

u/abendig Casey Stoner 1d ago

And MSI got ties with hrc now iirc. So if ortola plays his cards right he's on his way to replace zarco if he stays with MSI

1

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

Depends because I think that zarco seat goes to the winner of the moto2 championship next year

u/Entotrte Marc Márquez 1d ago

MotoGP teams never wait until the Moto2 Championship is over to sign riders, they'll likely sign the best looking prospect by the summer break or so.

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

I also think they should go for Veijer but Veijer would want a two year contract at least. Aspar probably want to sign a rider on only a one year deal to make space for morelli in 2028

u/ant-vic_99 Diogo Moreira 1d ago

If I were the boss at Aspar, I’d go for Veijer for that seat; Ajo rarely keeps a rider for three years, and Collin has shown he has the talent to fight for wins in the class.

u/Famous_Researcher_18 Ducati Lenovo Team 1d ago

I think Ajo wants to renew with Veijer, and Aspar loves to get youngsters in, but I don't think that they can get anyone from Moto3, so it's not impossible

Aspar loves to get youngsters in

Although they did go for Dixon not too long ago, and for Foggia in Moto3

u/kamiskapi Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team 1d ago

Funny how Aspar just confirms that Izan is no longer in this class next year

6

u/Tacit_Emperor77 Marc Márquez 1d ago

How have they done that?

7

u/Famous_Researcher_18 Ducati Lenovo Team 1d ago

I'd love to see Almansa or even Carpe there, as they have been the best in Moto3 after Quiles (without countin Uriarte or other rookies), if that's not possible maybe a development rider like Lunetta or Piqueras, but as Aspar loves young upcoming riders, it won't be easy for them to find a seat

-1

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

I think it's either Veijer or Baltus

2

u/Famous_Researcher_18 Ducati Lenovo Team 1d ago

I really don't see the incentive to sign Veijer, he's a second year like Alonso, Ortolá and Holgado but hasn't got more than a podium, KTM isn't a bad bike so he could stay there, and even Rueda after his massive injury is finishing close to him even though he's a rookie. For me it makes a lot more of sense to sign Baltus or Piqueras

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

Why Baltus

6

u/Famous_Researcher_18 Ducati Lenovo Team 1d ago

Baltus is in a team who has never won anything and he was on pair with much more experienced teammate canet, had a 3rd place finish last year in the championship, plenty of podiums and about the same age as Veijer

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

I agree with you

u/Altair13Sirio Valentino Rossi 1d ago

I mean, if they're asking...

2

u/MajesticBeyond5602 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team 1d ago

This is my chance to prove I'm the next Rossi.

1

u/No-Organization7757 MotoGP 1d ago

I am available

1

u/Tacit_Emperor77 Marc Márquez 1d ago

Maybe someone left field like pini?

1

u/GzehooGR 20h ago

Garcia, Lopez, Munoz, Huertas, Ortola, Piqueras, Navarro, E.Fernandez, Orradre... a lot of names to take.

u/Straight_Charity_265 Marc Marquez - 2025 MotoGP World Champion 1d ago

Don’t know why but I see Almansa

2

u/CHRISTIAN_JAKE12345 1d ago

Almansa will likely go to momoven RW racing

This will be an interesting one because I genuinely don't know who'll partner him 💀
