    All I know, is that I have (2) seasons for MM93 to win another championship or I owe @Jmetz $50.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    That's going to be tough this season. Rumor has it, Marquez is not happy with the 2023 bike and is asking for Honda to make some serious changes. Also, hearing rumblings that Yamaha and Ducati are interested in Marquez. I get why Yamaha would be interested in him, but can't seem to fathom why Ducati want him. He's getting long in the tooth and both Bagnaia and Bastianni are younger, faster and more hungry than Marquez. Not to mention, Mir, Quartararo and a host of other, younger riders are coming and they aren't slowing down.

    I read an article the other day that said basically, Marquez' days are somewhat numbered. If he can't come to grips with his injury and the 2023 bike isn't up to snuff. Then it may be the beginning of the end for him. Which I think has always been the view on Marquez in the past. The only thing that will defeat Marquez is Marquez himself.

    I think he's still one of the fastest guys out there and hasn't lost much speed. Problem for him now, is the other guys have caught up and actually passed him. This is his 10th season in MotoGP, it was bound to happen.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

    Unless HRC can figure out the front end issues, he won't win it. Ducati is way too strong at this moment and unless HRC brings literal napalm to the Sepang test next month, they're going to struggle just as bad as these last couple of seasons. Even Marc in all his glory couldn't get that thing to work last year being healthy now, he says he has zero front end feel on the bike and for his riding style that is pretty much riding blind, he manages but he won't be able to put that thing at the front like before. Guess we'll see what happens at the Sepang test because not only HRC but Yamaha also needs a miracle.
