For people that don't watch MotoGP, this is kind of like if Lewis left Merc for Alpha Tauri because they stopped investing in F1, and were phoning it in. While Alpha Tauri was able to use last seasons Red Bull as their car for the current season.
@@atishaykankaria4461 no it isn't. no part is closer. That analogy isn't even tenuously accurate. Lewis was the WDC in 2020 and Merc was the WCC. The Mercedes was the dominant car and team. Repsol Honda is in the complete opposite position to Merc in 2020 Gresini is racing the 2022 spec Ducati, it's not trying to copy a different teams bike from the season before. It is directly being given the previous seasons spec of bike from Ducati. No idea what aspect of Racing Point you're even attempting to use to equate it to Gresini. It seems like you just tried to use them since they copied the 2019 Merc for 2020. But this doesn't work because again, Gresini didn't copy the previous season Ducati. They are a Ducati satellite team
I was watching an old MotoGP vid from you guys back in 2020 (about Valentino Rossi) and I wish you guys made more MotoGP content. It's simply just awesome.
This is why I love the race. They involve so much more than just f1 and they also explain it in a way for some fans like myself that don’t follow all other motorsports in a way that makes sense
This is their first non F1 upload in over a year (I couldn't be bothered to check even further for a specific date) and it's only happening because it's a once in a decade (if not more) move. Otherwise MotoGP would've been ignored and left to be an article on their website just like: Indycar, WEC etc. NismoTVLetsGoRacingTHE_RACE hardly deserves praise for remembering they cover championships besides F1 for once.

Hope the Race realizes that if people aren't interested in other sports, they simply won't click the video. I'd personally love to see some Formula E content - like MotoGP, I follow FE without really watching every race, so having The Race post videos about it would be great

Love the new MOTOGP content we getting! Still hope you'll consider doing some WEC news in the future, since the amount of news coming out from there is crazy!
As a regular watcher, I really thank The Race to venture out of F1. Their website already covers everything, and its good to see them replicating that in youtube as well. I hope you all bring content from other racing series such as indycar as well.
I think Marc is very desperate seeing how quick Ducati is. Back to 2019, he was the reason why Honda got their development correctly and better but he knew that one day Ducati would chase his development sooner or later. Not just them but the other factory-backed teams also. And yet, he was right. Honda collapsed just like when Rossi moved to Yamaha, as they lost their icon for once more.
Lmao, keep dreaming boy. He's not going to equal let alone Rossi's record anytime soon, not even with a satellite Ducati and with Bagnaia and Martín in the form of their lives.
It's hard to know how good Marc is right now, the Honda was that bad of a bike. But while scoring average results compared to the competition, he did pretty much run circles around the other Honda riders in the last few races showing signs that he still might have it. It will be interesting to see what he can do on a Ducati. Especially also since in the last few years MotoGP bikes have evolved a lot with aero and devices which shifted a lot of the performance impact toward the bike and away from the rider, meaning rider skill can make less of a difference now compared to before.
In some ways it's a bit of perfect symmetry given that while Marquez was in Moto2 there was a rule in place saying a rookie rider couldn't race in MotoGP with a factory team. At the time Marquez was linked with a move to Gresini Honda. In the end the rule was changed specially for Marquez so he could race for Repsol Honda but it's kind of ironic he's finally ended up at Gresini.
Really happy seeing a non-F1 video on this channel. Quality is still up there with this video and I'm glad to see something from another series. There's more to motorsports than F1 and it deserves being featured just as much.
@@afivdwi5013Marc gave Pecco all he could handle at Aragon two seasons ago with a busted arm and a busted Honda. Pecco has no shot against Marc on a year old Ducati.
@@BTrain-is8ch2 years ago was 2021, then we know for sure that even Marquez with a broken arm and other injuries was simply better then the rest. Now in 2023, I don't know if that is the case anymore, being stuck in a spiralling circle of injuries, falls and on god awful equipment for 4 years can really change an athletes personal performance trajectory.
lately I started watching motogp (partly due to them hosting race in my country this year) and man it is so much exciting & unpredictable (unlike f1 most races), wish I started watching motogp earlier. More content on motogp is a welcome addition to this channel
I was actually scared for Marc this year especially after all the wrecks @ the Sachsenring. I think that was when he came to terms with things. If he kept riding that bike he was going to get seriously injured or worse.
Good move for The Race on covering this story. I would like to hear more from this channel about WEC, IMSA and WRC. Take your time to improve guys and gals.
Wow, I believe this is the first video about MotoGP since I subscribed in the early last year. Please do WorldSBK as well, Sir, I'am just a total nerd in terms of these 3 motorsports (MGP, F1, WorldSBK).
I can't wait until Marc gets on the Ducati. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I was really hoping Marc would sign with Ducati (factory) instead of his current Honda deal after the 2019 season. But, he loves his brother too much and decided to stay with Honda and used his massive leverage to bring Alex into MotoGP. Obviously, that was a monumental mistake, not saying it from hindsight, but in my humble opinion I already felt the 2019 Desmo was already better than the championship-winning Honda when Marc had to battle it out with Dovi. Needless to say, after 2019 once we gradually entered into the "aerodynamics era", the Desmo has only continued to improve until it became a championship-winning bike with Bagnaia. I now have a new found excitement for the 2024 season and beyond.
93, the rider that can ride any bike..except the bike he tried to develop... He admitted himself that he didnt help his teammates, basically sabotaged them and now he's reaping what he sowed. He was disrespectful and aggressive to Lorenzo who actually Honda needed and would have benefited from now. Expect front end washouts in the Ducati. Marquez is multiple world champ but thats the past and not enough respect is given to Pecco because of his demeanor nor to the current top riders, perhaps due to the bike theyre riding
I agree whole heartedly with the final statement. Marc has given up the best years of his career, his health and his reputation for Honda and for a racer who wants to win at all costs they've betrayed that investment by laxing as heavily as they have. I don't think anyone can blame Marc and at the same time we will almost certainly see a less dangerous version of No.93 when he doesn't have to enter suicide mode to race.
honestly this is just a check-up for Marquez to see if he's still fit and able to fight for proper positions. If he finds himself good enough, he'll be aiming for a factory bike in 2025. I don't think he's worried about winning a championship in 2024, maybe just compete for races. Specially because Gresini seems to be the bottom of the 4 Ducati teams in terms of know-how and support.
I didn't like Marquez since that whole 2015 Malaysian GP debacle, but this is legitimately a move that I respect a lot. It was becoming clearer and clearer that Honda were a dysfunctional mess even during Marquez's time with them, and Marquez knows that he doesn't have much time left to have another winning season due to his numerous injuries. Honestly, I hope he wins a championship with Ducati so that he can end his career with a high note after the hell he's gone through since the end of his dominance.
I can't help but comment even if it is the most tired and nonsensical "debate" I've ever heard off. How can anyone justify disliking a rider for literally just racing and then being intentionally run off the track? Nevermind all the vitriolic hate Rossi commanded his fanboys to send to this 22 year old who did nothing wrong simply because he was losing the title battle and started chasing ghosts.
Marc - One of the best rider in the history of the sport Ducati - The most rider friendly and powerful bike at the moment These two put together in spite of not being on a factory bike, is a brutal combo that many would already be worrying about. Honda really seems to be in a tough situation with this wherein the best option right now is to move Zarco on to a factory bike along side Mir and get someone for the satellite teams. 2024 will be more interesting. Not to forget the arrival of Pedro Acosta. The only other guy who has been touted to be the one to become the next Marc Marquez.
No doubt Marquez will do better on a Ducati than Honda at the moment. But it's not a clear cut thing, it's dependent on riding style. Didn't hear any of these 'experts' mention anything about riding technique and chemistry with the bike and I don't even follow MotoGP that closely. Rossi went to Ducati and failed miserably trying to replicate what Casey Stoner had done there. I rate Marquez better than Rossi however and I think he will adapt well assuming injuries won't get in the way.
@@F-F01 Rossi left Honda when was at the top and jumped on Yamaha when it was shit and started to win again. Rossi broke very badly his leg and started to win again. I always said that Marquez was driving like a madmen but wait until you have the big crash, because you will, that's when things change for 99.99% of pros. You need the patience, the mind, the physique, the maturity to heal and start again. Marquez missed that. Marquez can top him if he starts to win with Ducati AND then build an academy AND a team with champions in it, because Rossi is still winning right now with his VR46 team and Bagnaia too was raised by him with many others. Absolute legend.
1) Honda Had a bike anyone could ride for a while due to actually having racers that can develop a bike. 2) After Honda got Marc, they slowly stopped listening to anyone else and focused on making a bike only Marc could ride. 3) The modern honda ended the career of Dani and Jorge two undeniably great riders the smoothest guys to ever grace the grid. 4) Dani's performance and development of the KTM is proof of of his talent that honda let languish due to arrogance. 5) Rins bailed one year in on the Honda, because they treated Rins with little respect even after being the only rider to win on that bike this year. 6) Mir isn't going to do anything on the Honda, hell the front end feel of the suzuki had him all at sea the last few years how he thought the honda was better is beyond me. He'll jump if given the chance. Now Honda has a bike not even Marc can ride because he obviously cant develop a bike & Honda clearly isn't listing to him now anyway, the ducati arc will be interesting after that I'll bet he'll make the Jump to KTM in 2025.
agreed with points 2-6... 1 isn't that true. it always has been a rabid beast to control, they just got greats in Doohan, Rossi Stoner,Pedrosa & Marquez.. who could always ride a untamable beast. on a side note i am so happy to see you being a old Moto GP fan XD
I swear Honda has the tendency to throw away its Motorsport success into a dumpster fire like they did in f1. Repsol Honda used to have huge budgets before the top management of Honda decided to virtually cut off the support in favor for EVs. They reinstated for f1, but for some reason not for MotoGP
Motorcycle sales globally, save south east Asia are falling dramatically. Like 90 degrees down type. There’s no market or money in it anymore so it’s tough to justify for Honda to spend money in the program. If it wasn’t for VW saving Ducati, they wouldn’t even be in MotoGP right now.
IF... and I repeat IF.... this all goes ahead! The lack of a Marquez announcement at the Japan GP was a massive indicator of these machinations. I'm no Marquez fan but I am a fan of his riding talents and am Very keen to see if all the surgeries have corrected his problems. Thus allowing him to shine with the 3 title contenders on a Ducati.
bike development speed isn't anything like F1 so a year old bike satellite or not isn't actually that big of a deal. Satellite teams have factory staff in them anyway, at least Ducati teams do. And I wouldn't be surprised if Marc got a little bit of help considering he's Marc. I'm sure Marc is going to go very well on the Ducati. It's sad to see the famous Repsol Honda fall on it's face, but every manufacturer and team will go through their respective phases of high and lows.
If this doesn't wake Honda up I don't know what will. From glory to dirt. Hopefully Honda can turn this around, which racer would take up that task with them, let's wait and see.
This move is incomparable to Rossi's; Rossi moved when Honda was on the top to Yamaha that barely finished in the podium in 03, while Marc will move from the absolute slowest bike on the grid to the more competitive team-bike combination. This move is more comparable to Rossi's comeback to Yamaha in 13; he rejected the lucrative extension deal from Ducati to become the arguably 2nd factory Yamaha rider behind Lorenzo in order to save his career and legacy.
This spices up next season for sure! Has MM still got it? I've wanted MM to change bikes for years - well before 2020, just to mix it up a bit a stop seeing a Repsol Honda winning. Obviously a Repsol Honda winning in recent years has been a rare sight and partly started because of Marc's injuries in 2020 (which is not what anyone wanted to see). Always assumed he'd move to KTM if and when the time came, maybe he still will, but regardless - next season really could have a new contender if Marc still has the ability.
Honda brought this upon themselves with their utter disregard and prejudice towards Italian engineers and their unmotivated trust in Spaniards. The Spanish have no tradition in automotive and applied ICE technical acumen. They don't have any major ICE national developer (just Seat which is producing only rebadged Volkswagens and Skodas), so obviously their schools for engineers are so much less competitive when compared to the Italians who have dozens of automotive brands at the pinnacle of tech and motorsport.
It will definitely be interesting to see how he does at Gresini, however I do feel that he is now a shadow of his former self. Ever since that crash that broke his arm at the start of 2020, he's never really gotten back to the front and has just had a string of more big crashes and more missed events this year.
The move of MM out of Honda to a satellite Ducati feels like if Hamilton suddendly decided to end his contract with Mercedes earlier due lack of winning package, and join Aston Martin or, using Ducati's scenarion into F1, to AlphaTauri. *That* much of a crazy move, it is, and on top of that, it's makes completely sense whatsoever and will probably work just fittingly nice. I'm more than intrigued to see how much fastness is left in Márquez after getting so beaten up by the Honda-bike for 3 or so years consecutively, but I'm sure '24 MotoGP season will be a very good one indeed. Can't wait to see more of MotoGP content here, it's always refreshing to see new channels talking about the beatifulness of the two-wheeled "F1", haha!
For people that don't watch MotoGP, this is kind of like if Lewis left Merc for Alpha Tauri because they stopped investing in F1, and were phoning it in. While Alpha Tauri was able to use last seasons Red Bull as their car for the current season.
You nail the metaphorically Explaination
even worse as he was still in contract! imagine Lewis breaking a Mercedes contract to move teams
not exactly its closer to vvhat if Hammelton left Merc in 2020 for Racing Point in 2020 assuming racing Point copied the 2019 ferrari
@@atishaykankaria4461 no it isn't. no part is closer. That analogy isn't even tenuously accurate.
Lewis was the WDC in 2020 and Merc was the WCC. The Mercedes was the dominant car and team. Repsol Honda is in the complete opposite position to Merc in 2020

Didn't hear any of these 'experts' mention anything about riding technique and chemistry with the bike and I don't even follow MotoGP that closely. Rossi went to Ducati and failed miserably trying to replicate what Casey Stoner had done there. I rate Marquez better than Rossi however and I think he will adapt well assuming injuries won't get in the way.
I never watched motoGP but I might actually start now. I love Marc Marquez, I think he's a legend worth supporting in his comeback run.
If you've never watched motogp how can you claim to love MM?

Love seeing a MotoGP vid! Keep it coming!
ducati spec series LETSGO
Refreshing to have different content at last
great vid! more moto news in all leagues
!
Can't believe people were saying he topped Rossi..
He was topping rossi until he broke the shoulder
And also the tiny issue that by that time Rossi (the goat) was too old
@@F-F01 Rossi left Honda when was at the top and jumped on Yamaha when it was shit and started to win again. Rossi broke very badly his leg and started to win again. I always said that Marquez was driving like a madmen but wait until you have the big crash, because you will, that's when things change for 99.99% of pros. You need the patience, the mind, the physique, the maturity to heal and start again. Marquez missed that. Marquez can top him if he starts to win with Ducati AND then build an academy AND a team with champions in it, because Rossi is still winning right now with his VR46 team and Bagnaia too was raised by him with many others. Absolute legend.
1) Honda Had a bike anyone could ride for a while due to actually having racers that can develop a bike.
2) After Honda got Marc, they slowly stopped listening to anyone else and focused on making a bike only Marc could ride.
3) The modern honda ended the career of Dani and Jorge two undeniably great riders the smoothest guys to ever grace the grid.
4) Dani's performance and development of the KTM is proof of of his talent that honda let languish due to arrogance.
5) Rins bailed one year in on the Honda, because they treated Rins with little respect even after being the only rider to win on that bike this year.
6) Mir isn't going to do anything on the Honda, hell the front end feel of the suzuki had him all at sea the last few years how he thought the honda was better is beyond me. He'll jump if given the chance.
Now Honda has a bike not even Marc can ride because he obviously cant develop a bike & Honda clearly isn't listing to him now anyway, the ducati arc will be interesting after that I'll bet he'll make the Jump to KTM in 2025.
agreed with points 2-6... 1 isn't that true. it always has been a rabid beast to control, they just got greats in Doohan, Rossi Stoner,Pedrosa & Marquez.. who could always ride a untamable beast.
on a side note i am so happy to see you being a old Moto GP fan XD
The best from THE RACE TEAM, finally some Moto GP content too😊😊❤❤
Nice to see other content than f1!
nice, good change for marc and the satellite team. Hope this mixes things up for the following seasons.
About time you covered motogp news too better late than never.
PLEASE we need more MotoGP related videos
more moto gp videos!! Love this. sincerely, an F1 fan
I swear Honda has the tendency to throw away its Motorsport success into a dumpster fire like they did in f1. Repsol Honda used to have huge budgets before the top management of Honda decided to virtually cut off the support in favor for EVs. They reinstated for f1, but for some reason not for MotoGP
Motorcycle sales globally, save south east Asia are falling dramatically. Like 90 degrees down type. There’s no market or money in it anymore so it’s tough to justify for Honda to spend money in the program. If it wasn’t for VW saving Ducati, they wouldn’t even be in MotoGP right now.
IF... and I repeat IF.... this all goes ahead! The lack of a Marquez announcement at the Japan GP was a massive indicator of these machinations. I'm no Marquez fan but I am a fan of his riding talents and am Very keen to see if all the surgeries have corrected his problems. Thus allowing him to shine with the 3 title contenders on a Ducati.
whoa! nice to put a face to the name mr. patterson! long time listener here.
So the race is now covering MotoGP as well as F1?
Solid! Fine by me!
bike development speed isn't anything like F1 so a year old bike satellite or not isn't actually that big of a deal. Satellite teams have factory staff in them anyway, at least Ducati teams do. And I wouldn't be surprised if Marc got a little bit of help considering he's Marc. I'm sure Marc is going to go very well on the Ducati. It's sad to see the famous Repsol Honda fall on it's face, but every manufacturer and team will go through their respective phases of high and lows.
If this doesn't wake Honda up I don't know what will. From glory to dirt. Hopefully Honda can turn this around, which racer would take up that task with them, let's wait and see.
i hope they dont put it on pedro accosta... he deserves a good balanced ride for start of his motogp career
@@izanagisburden9465 I think Pedro is part of KTM no way they'll let him go to Honda?
Thanks for the video, I'm getting in the moto gp world for a while 😊
You know it's big when The Race does a video on MotoGP lol. There should be more MotoGP vids!
This move is incomparable to Rossi's; Rossi moved when Honda was on the top to Yamaha that barely finished in the podium in 03, while Marc will move from the absolute slowest bike on the grid to the more competitive team-bike combination.
This move is more comparable to Rossi's comeback to Yamaha in 13; he rejected the lucrative extension deal from Ducati to become the arguably 2nd factory Yamaha rider behind Lorenzo in order to save his career and legacy.
Zarco, Miller, Petrux all had one year factory contracts.
Pecco and Martin both have the same number of data engineers from Ducati.
Finally MotoGP Content!
You guys should make more MotoGP videos. The channels discussing it in English are lacking
I know I’m craving a channel where we can discuss motogp like f1.
This spices up next season for sure! Has MM still got it?
I've wanted MM to change bikes for years - well before 2020, just to mix it up a bit a stop seeing a Repsol Honda winning. Obviously a Repsol Honda winning in recent years has been a rare sight and partly started because of Marc's injuries in 2020 (which is not what anyone wanted to see).
Always assumed he'd move to KTM if and when the time came, maybe he still will, but regardless - next season really could have a new contender if Marc still has the ability.
let those rookie get the belt marc already prove his a champ on his prime those injury and age will kill his performance his mentality has change
More MotoGP and other racing videos! Nice to see something other than F1.
I learned a lot from this. Well done
Honda brought this upon themselves with their utter disregard and prejudice towards Italian engineers and their unmotivated trust in Spaniards.
The Spanish have no tradition in automotive and applied ICE technical acumen. They don't have any major ICE national developer (just Seat which is producing only rebadged Volkswagens and Skodas), so obviously their schools for engineers are so much less competitive when compared to the Italians who have dozens of automotive brands at the pinnacle of tech and motorsport.
It will definitely be interesting to see how he does at Gresini, however I do feel that he is now a shadow of his former self. Ever since that crash that broke his arm at the start of 2020, he's never really gotten back to the front and has just had a string of more big crashes and more missed events this year.
The move of MM out of Honda to a satellite Ducati feels like if Hamilton suddendly decided to end his contract with Mercedes earlier due lack of winning package, and join Aston Martin or, using Ducati's scenarion into F1, to AlphaTauri.
*That* much of a crazy move, it is, and on top of that, it's makes completely sense whatsoever and will probably work just fittingly nice. I'm more than intrigued to see how much fastness is left in Márquez after getting so beaten up by the Honda-bike for 3 or so years consecutively, but I'm sure '24 MotoGP season will be a very good one indeed.
Can't wait to see more of MotoGP content here, it's always refreshing to see new channels talking about the beatifulness of the two-wheeled "F1", haha!
Hell yeah, keep the MotoGP videos coming
Please keep doing these GP vids!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Crazy, few years ago this guy was absolutely dominating now…
i am sure they uploaded on the wrong channel and we all loved it 😂
Thank you for moto gp content
