Jack Miller signs 1 year deal with the factory Ducati team for 2021 with an option for 2022.

IMO one of the MotoGP ‘characters‘.......I’m please he‘s got himself a prominent ride, I hope it doesn’t make him corporate.

Always liked him,one of the characters we need in the sport.

Who’s he replacing?

Who’s he replacing?

I‘m guessing it’s Petrucci.

There’s been a lot of speculation about his ride.

Are we having a sweepstake as to how many times he will off with his determined style? I will go for falling off in the first four laps if we ever get racing again ( Wish him no harm, they do tend to bounce a lot!)

I don’t think they’ve announced the second rider yet, so It’s hard to say.

Unless Dovi moves on himself (I can’t see Ducati removing him)....It would look difficult for Petrucci.

Probably no more or less than he does on the Pramac Ducati he already rides.

I thought I read Dovi was asking for a large pay rise so maybe him.

i know, even when it’s on the cards....you just keep hoping, until it’s formally announced.

I guess this way is better for fans than 2018 was

To take a positive from it, if you take a 2021 ticket, you’ll avoid the price rise.

I wouldn't bank on it, TBH. I have tickets for both the Spanish and Austrian F1 GPs and had planned to just carry the tickets over to next year. I bought the tickets back in November/December when they had a promotion and saved £100+ on the cost.

However, yesterday I received an email from Motorsport Tickets giving me a number of options of vouchers, change of race, swap out to 2021 or a refund minus service and delivery fees. The swap out option is tempered by the following:

'Swap out to 2021
We can provisionally hold the exact** same tickets for the 2021 event. We can then book on your behalf the moment the 2021 stock is issued and send you a confirmation. Interested? Please get in touch.

**Exact tickets, subject to availability. Any increases in 2021 pricing would be chargeable'

Worth a close read of your ticket provider's options, I think. I'm now of the mind that it might be better to go for the refund and take my chances on getting a promotional price when next year's tickets are released, as otherwise I can see a big chunk of extra cash being demanded when they book next year's tickets

F1.....not for me sorry

I wasn't looking for your opinion on F1 - it was just a heads-up on the ticket pricing issue.

I follow both.....

 

[Baldeagle7470]

Yes,looks more and more like no Moto Gp this year.I know Carmelo Espeleta keeps saying will get some GP’s even into November.The riders were knackered with last years schedule so can’t see it happening,they will also be ring rusty,whatever they are doing to keep fit it ain’t the same as wrestling one of those beasts around for 40 mins.
I did see the news about GB and Aus pop up on my Moto GP site yesterday.
They promoted their virtual GP show,I watched 10 mins of the first one and drove me nuts,guess it was zoom or something with 10 riders and all speaking at the same time and the delay of the commentary was awful.
Its just over €100 a year I think,betcha no refund as they always saying free that to watch and free this.
To be honest really enjoying YouTube old Irish Road racing,some great vids of Barry Sheene days.etc.
Not like being there and getting grumpy now,so went out and bought that Kawasaki yesterday,picking it uMonday,happy days.

Nor was I asking for your off topic post about F1 tickets In a thread about MotoGP News.

However I see your point about buying cheep tickets and then being charged at the normal rate for next years equivalent ticket.
In scenario that I would be asking for a refund too.

I think if they do run any rounds it will just be a token gesture to pacify their commitments to sponsors Etc. and you would think that the teams would just be using it for extended testing and data gathering.

Fingers crossed still tho

I will just wait till it’s back on channel 5. Haha

When I listened to the discussions on the MotoGP site shortly after lockdown they said IF any racing they would reduce the number of officials,teams and media to 1300.
To me still a logistical nightmare getting them all to a circuit,maybe quarantined.Feeding them all,truck and transporter movements.
Think you are right,if anything a bit of late testing,Spain probably at a guess around the normal Valencia time.
Like you still living in hope,last time I missed anything like this was when the TT was cancelled when think it was foot and mouth,years ago.

Hardly off-topic as the ticket providers cater for both disciplines but, hey-ho....

Sorry to have offended your sensibilities

Dorna Boss Carmelo Ezpeleta’s Plan For MotoGP Restart

Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta answers questions about the reopening of the MotoGP championship.

www.cycleworld.com

Also taken from visordown.com

Dorna is expected to reveal a fresh provisional calendar in the coming days, which is set to begin with two back-to-back weekend events at Jerez before moving on to Austria.

After the Spanish government threw the weight of support behind restarting MotoGP, it is expected many of the mid-summer events will take place in the nation before potentially moving overseas.

Three-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo won't get a wildcard return with Yamaha in 2020, as wildcard entries have been outlawed for this year.

Lorenzo was due to make his first grand prix appearance since announcing his retirement at the end of last year in the Catalan Grand Prix for Yamaha, originally scheduled for June, before the race was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Yamaha test rider's home race was the only race he had been entered into at that point, leaving the door open for future appearances later in the season.

However, with MotoGP organisers Dorna Sports attempting to get a shortened 2020 campaign underway in July at Jerez with a reduced amount of paddock personnel - while also keeping costs down - wildcard entries have been banned for this season.
