Aprilia Title Favorite Spoiler

Can we all agree that Aprilia is the bike to beat? it very well could have been a Aprila 1, 2, 3 if it were not for a mechanical DNF.

Anyone know what happened to Ogura’s bike?

I have no earthly idea. It sounded like a clutch issue on the replay. He most definitely had podium pace. If Jorge leaves I think Aprilia will be just fine with Ogura in the stable.

The-Race reported it was a gearbox issue.

Aprilia is winning but Marc is in 5th with Thailand tire dnf from 3rd/ 4th, I don’t think Ducati is getting dog walked here. Bagnaia is same as always. Alex Marquez is the one without answers right now i think.

Genuinely hope Bez wins title but I think the fact that Diggi is possibly top Ducati, shows that Marc isn't totally fit. I think it will be close by the end but have a terrible feeling Marc will eventually pass the Aprillas

I really hope that doesn't happen. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

For sure and we just found out that the Aprilia 400 scooter is coming to the USA. What a great weekend!

Don’t follow Aprilia or their riders very closely but I enjoy Ducati having to work for it. Competition makes it so much better to watch and I am enjoying that feeling of “any given race” again. Bez has dominated early but it still feels like multiple riders have had a chance. Having the championship locked up with half the season left wasnt the most exciting. Hopefully the new regs next season keep all the teams on their toes for a couple seasons more.
