    I still think his ride is under review....  there are some good young guns out there and Rins etc are also looking for seats.  
    He almost needs to be podium centric all the time considering he is on the factory bike and Bags seems to run rings around him a fair bit (excluding the crash this week lol).

    And a good podium it was too!  VERY good commentary from him after the race on the tyres as I was wondering why he chose the Soft front while everyone else had the medium.

    He rode very well. Graphic footage of how the setup and aerodynamics try and conspire to spit you off at the 315kph turn one the death wobble would certainly get your attention!

    I reckon he'll sleep a lot better tonight knowing that you blokes are back in his corner. Two pages ago he was not performing, won't keep his factory ride and should retire so someone else can get a go.

    I still believe hes going to be ushered out of the factory team. I don't hold the view that he should retire.

    He and Riccardo are not going to have good end of years I suspect!

    I see now that KTM are not going to activate the 2nd year option for Remy Gardner as his agent is constantly bagging KTM in the press. They claim that they wouldn't force him to stay if he didn't want to be there.

    Finishing 15th has probably not helped jack in any way to stay with Ducati.

    Not at all... I missed qualifying so he must have totalled bombed out or crashed.  (just read that he was Q12 so thats okayish...so 12th to 22nd in lap 1 is a bit chit though)

    Apparently got run onto the grass in the run to the first corner by Brad Binder, putting him last. Not mentioned in the commentary and no footage. Any rider not Italian and below 6th place wasn't mentioned.

    This is the current situation for next season
    Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™: Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli

    Aprilia Racing: Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales

    Repsol Honda Team: Marc Marquez and TBC
    While Marc Marquez is still not halfway through his current, four-year deal, there is much intrigue about who will partner him at the Repsol Honda Team in 2023. Joan Mir is the favourite for the RC213V seat currently occupied by Pol Espargaro, who KTM might like to have back on an RC16.

    Ducati Lenovo Team: Francesco Bagnaia and TBC
    The factory seat alongside Bagnaia is another big talking point. Two-time 2021 race winner Jack Miller seems unfazed about where he might end up next year, as Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) waits in the wings and Enea Bastianini (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) makes a strong case for a promotion with his three wins so far in 2022. This will be a big decision for Ducati.

    Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: Brad Binder and TBC
    The Austrian manufacturer has become a key part of the silly season. It is trying to make room for a new team-mate for Brad Binder, but who that someone will finally be is still something of a mystery, with Pol Espargaro, Alex Rins, and Miller all in contention. In any of those scenarios, KTM would like to move Miguel Oliveira to Tech3 KTM Factory Racing, but the four-time MotoGP™ race winner has made it clear that he does not feel the same way.

    Prima Pramac Racing: No riders confirmed

    LCR Honda Castrol/Idemitsu: No riders confirmed

    Gresini Racing MotoGP™: No riders confirmed
    Current riders: Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantoni0
    What happens at Gresini Racing will depend on what happens at the Ducati Lenovo Team and Prima Pramac Racing, but it should also be noted that Oliveira has been linked to this team too.

    Mooney VR46 Racing Team: No riders confirmed

    Tech3 KTM Factory Racing: No riders confirmed
    Current riders: Remy Gardner and Raul Fernandez

    Keeps the Aussies in the same team...  I recon Remy will give him a real go for his money, but at least he is still in the game!

    Coming from Ducati i think that Aprilia would be my next choice in the list....KTM have had some decent results though.

    Jack starting from 11th today. He had a good lap but just didnt have the pace. That Aprillia is very fast along with the Honda down the straight with a 352kph and 353kph respectively. Fastest Ducati was Jacks 351kph

    After that race i really hope Jack hasn't adopted the "I dont give a toss" attitude finishing 4th last and 3 spots behind Remy.

    Yeah thats the feeling I had as well...Either that or he is under instruction to not crash/damage the bike at all.  It was odd to see the factory Duc sooooo far down the field.  

    On a bright note we now know the KTM will beat a factory Duc!!!!

    He seems to chew through tyres (mind you the Duc does that anyway).  He will often be in a good place and then have the tyres go away from him in the last 5 laps until he is down in 99th place.
