MM93's domination last season created an aura of invincibility in his side of the Ducati garage. The reality in 2026 is that he's starting to look a bit desperate... making lunges from too far back with only a vague hope of staying on or making the corner without contact.

I smell desperation…
Each new round of market manipulation (by Truth Social post) has diminishing effect.
The speaker of the Iranian parliament can see it… shame that so many market participants can’t.
But, don’t forget that "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent".
Damn, isn’t this a key feature of full self-driving?
They never showed the impact with the fence, but he was under the airfence at the end and walked away like a drunk supported by 2 track workers. HIA doesn’t exist in MotoGP.
#Dorna not showing the actual impact of #MM93 ‘s crash… presumably because he was unconscious for a short time and they do want him ruled out of the rest of the weekend.
What do you say @denkmit.bsky.social ?
Genuinely hilarious…
Trash talk on a Friday.
TACO on a Sunday.
It certainly looks like the Iranians are on the point of capitulation.... 🥴
The US military have 'won' the conventional war... but now we enter the phase of unconventional/hybrid warfare... let's see if the US and Israel are ready for that.
Oh... well, that's a surprise...
As US Marines arrive to storm Kharg Island, Israel's IDF amass 100,000 combat troops on the border with Lebanon, and no sign of real negotiation with Iran... US led financial markets decide that we can all relax, everything is going to work out fine.
It's a 🤡🌎

Pure… fucking… art…
Trump's MO is pretty clear... escalate the conflict on Friday (after markets close) and then TACO before they open again on Monday.
The good news is that these transactions leave receipts... and when the MAGAs are out of power they can be used to jail them.
It's a sign of desperation in the markets, they're looking for any off-ramp. Of course, everybody knows that Netanyahu won't stop... why should he, Trump's got his back.
Dow, S&P, Nasdaq… all up.
Brent/WTI down.
It looks like markets believed him.
Normally it's problematic because you're a tyre short in Q2... but as it was wet all day on Friday they had loads.
Friday times didn't mean anything... except that if you weren't in the top 10 you were in the Q1 'jungle'. Learning a new track in sketchy weather conditions means a qualifying 'banker time' was needed right from the first lap.
Parity is good. Ducati have been dominant for too long.
Yes, but Dow, S&P and Nasdaq all up today and Brent crude 9% down... so it works and he'll keep doing it because market participant are so desperate for it to be true.
Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, DXY all up today… WTI down. That’s the power of fake news!
Yes, but WTI is down 9% today so the markets have bought the story... guess who's just buying some oil futures to profit from the price rebound once it's clear that the market has been duped?
Aaaaaand, here it is...
Trump signals productive talks with Iran... gas prices drop.
Just waiting for the Iranians to call bullshit on it and the price will shoot back up.
textbook market manipulation.
If you set out to destroy the public's trust in the hydrocarbon industry, Trump's pre-meditated clusterfuck in the 'Straight (sic) of Hormuz' would be pretty much the perfect recipe.
Bez made a stellar recovery from 20th place on Friday to winning the main event. That takes serious levels of self-belief and great work by the whole crew to sort out all the issues.
Aprilia are a functioning TEAM these days... and Ducati has a lot of work to do to get back to #1.
It's the British half of me rooting for the underdog...
My cynical take on the #MotoGP in #Brazil
Ducati not even the best Italian bike...
Marc Marquez not even the best Ducati...
It's football... which means there are none.
"I voted for Donald Trump so that he would make other people's lives more miserable, not mine. It just isn't fair".
Hopefully he's off to do a Sid & Nancy...
