Marquez to Gresini...?

[Tomcat]

My understanding is that M.Marquez isn't getting paid. He's doing it for free.

Well, free to the team. For now. And I suspect there will be riders in some teams (there certainly are in BSB) who are paying the teams to ride. MM93 will still be earning pretty well from his sponsors, plus have a few quid in the bank. If he can acquit himself well he'll be back asking for big bucks next year when the scrap for works rides starts up.

I wonder which brother is paid most?

Actually he is getting paid

Young Marquez is surpassing expectations. Could be interesting to see the 2 of them slugging it out on same bike.

I cant remember having 2 brothers on a podium???

[Yorick]

The last two brothers to stand on the "premier class" podium together were Nobuatsu and Takuma Aoki: they took 2nd and 3rd place at the 1997 Imola GP alongside Mick Doohan.

- The only other occasion when two brothers met on the premier class podium was in Argentina in 1962, when Juan Salatino managed 2nd place and brother Eduardo finished third.

Will the contract stipulate Rossi getting his old race bike..?

I sort of assumed he'd stay with the VR46 brand.
I suppose he may have plans to go back to VR46 if/when they get factory bike status.

He'd be mad. Marini has been slowly building into a quality rider and was unlucky this year due to injury. The current Honda would finish any progress. Factory ride or not,it won't be winning any championships for years. Maybe not even races.

[Demannu]

Does this mean that a works Honda will have to carry VR46 on the side of it?
Can't see that going down well in Asaka!
I would imagine Uccio insisting on it though.

It's all a ploy to get Honda to finally release Valentino's 2001 title winning 500cc two stroke

Looks.... different.
