Ok so Ducati’s latest aero update…

The new front fairing is larger and is being used by all four riders. Wing design the same though.

Pecco, Alex & Diggia were using the 2026 side fairing they’ve tested for a while.

Marc is with the 2025 side fairing. Hope that clears it up.

@DESMO_adicto @RubCanales Yes

Christian Horner in the #MotoGP paddock… 👀

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

How good is Bez looking?

Used the same tyres for all 17 of his laps in FP1…

And was faster than Marc’s lap record from last year’s #ThaiGP for every single one of them 🔥

@fan2bolidage It’s my best guess as of right now!
Aldeguer - Ducati contracted, VR46 are factory supported and want a winner
Marini - Honda loves him. Great asset for developing 850
Zarco - Honda is a hot ticket for 27
Tech3 - Holgado confident, Veijer a guess
Pecco - best guess of 3 options

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

My way too early, probably completely wrong, 2027 grid prediction…

WSBK surprise = Nicolo Bulega
Moto2 surprise = Collin Veijer

What do you think?

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@SethWT86 Oh 100% fave to win WorldSBK title, our game didn’t have his face so had to put the WorldSBK surprise one that’s all

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@DexBobb He wants to be a factory rider, he’s a Red Bull athlete, makes sense for a lot of reasons

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@SonnetFortySix Yamaha, Honda or Aprilia… my guess would be Yamaha, but it’s not a confident guess

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@samarth_dalvi Enea is a multiple MotoGP winner and still only 28, he’ll be on the grid next season.

Better seat right now. Who knows with the new regs. Yamaha is certainly a more lucrative seat than Aprilia

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@motsdangereux Whatever happens this year, he’ll for sure be a MotoGP rider next year

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@Ollie1894 Acosta? Free as a bird at the end of the year and on his way to Bologna

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@robbie_b_d Yes…

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

@Ollie1894 @OfficialBullsRL Someone’s doing well

[Jack Appleyard @_JackAppleyard]

Genuine possibility that it could be test over if they can’t find a solution.

Japanese bosses are deep in discussions at this moment.

Overheating issues with the new engine a possible reason.

After losing Fabio to injury yesterday, the nightmare start to 2026 continues.

🚨 Big Yamaha news: No bikes on track currently because of safety concerns with the new V4.

Quartararo suffered a major technical issue late yesterday when he returned to the track following his crash, and Yamaha bosses have stopped all running until they find an answer
