Just in case you haven't heard yet. HRC announced today that Alex Marquez, will join his brother Marc for the 2020 MotoGP season, on the Repsol Should be an interesting season. I hope he can ride the bike!! Although I'm sure HRC has a pair of RC-213V's stashed somewhere for the brothers to practice on, whenever they want!!

I really wanted to see Crutchlow in that seat. One last chance on a true top team to see what he can do.

Interesting. Not surprising. Too soon I think for the kid to perform well on a factory bike but I said the same thing about his older brother so what do I know. I’d rather the ride have gone to another contender like Quattro-ratatouille or however you pronounce his name...

It was never going to be Crutchlow. I like Cal. But he's too inconsistent. He crashes out of races for to often, and it seems like he's not learning from his mistakes. Plus he has also been make some noises about retiring.

My Wife told me that a week ago... I was like "Marquez is the Devil"!

I intuitively knew this was coming and heartily welcome it. All of the other likely candidates were crashing or crashing and taking multiple fellow riders with them.
This is going to be fun!

This must be a first... brothers riding for a MotoGP factory team? Damn!

Well...... There was a lot of negative talk about Alex Marquez getting the ride on the Repsol. And a lot of chatter about Honda signing Pol Esparago before Alex Marquez even had a chance to prove himself. Then there was more bad mouthing baby Marquez once the season started. But right now, the naysayers are pretty quiet, and I'm thinking HRC may want to rethink some contract decisions for next year. I'm just sayin.... 93/73 would't look so bad now would it?

I couldn't agree more.

Alex is doing pretty good.
