    Acosta will nail it on the KTM.  Its a fast bike, just does not suit Jacks riding style.

    You know that Acosta races a KTM...

    The major difference is that the full official KTM  boys get the new bits and bobs first but that's not saying that the satellite bikes are not miles behind. This kid is special....just needs to stay injury free.

    And the factory riders get paid shit loads more than the guys on the satellite bikes.
    Hence why Acosta is replacing Jack unfortunately.

    Well officially one part of the Ducati puzzle has been resolved.......Martin signed with Aprilia!!! 
    Ducati has fucked up big time by letting him go but we know he can ride but will he be able to develop a bike into a consistent winner with Aprilia?

    Looks like Marc has got the job as Pecco’s teammate for 2025. 
    That will make for an interesting factory line up at Ducati next year.

    Also seems like Maverick is also on the move...leaving Aprilia for ride unknown...perhaps Honda with Jack ?

    Jack and Mav might be just what Honda needs, I would love to see them succeed.

    Sadly for both of them if they do go to Honda they are going to be at the bottom rung of a very steep ladder. The bikes a dog and they have little direction, could be a new ladder when the new rules wipe out all the previous advantages.

    That is what I was thinking, everyone will be in the same boat

    Watched Remy in the superbikes...he lead for several laps but just cant keep up the pace and fell back in the pack.

    Well that’s pretty much the end of Jacks MotoGP career given that the honda option has dried up.

    Yes i saw that, not sure if its totally done thinking maybe a satellite team could be a dark horse to grab him but one team is about to sign with Yamaha and Jack has no history with them. Regardless the best opportunities have slipped through his fingers along with full factory support. My view is to grab a factory superbike gig and swallow his pride, possibly make more money and see how quick those boys are.

    I don't think that he has too much pride to swallow, he's pretty humble. The last two years at the end of the season when he's come back to Australia he's had a run around in the ASBK and just hung out with everyone.

    Lets hope he gets a gig somewhere. Dark rumour that he just may end up in the USA in their AMA series. I wouldn't put my $5 bet on that i think its superbikes and just maybe a manufacturer hes previously riden for in Moto Gp.
