Honda outlines anticipated performance across varying track conditions in Barcelona

"The elongated right-hand corners lead to considerable spinning…"

The MotoGP season's concluding race in Barcelona this weekend is expected to deviate from the norm in terms of conditions, yet Honda's Luca Marini anticipates that the circuit will continue to be "challenging" in terms of tire wear.

The Catalan Grand Prix experienced ambient temperatures of 26C in May earlier this year, whereas this weekend, the forecast suggests temperatures will hover in the mid to high teens.

"Marini noted that for him, the change is negligible, emphasizing that the cooler conditions mainly result in increased traction on the track."

"However, the track's design puts a significant strain on the tires due to its configuration; the prolonged right-hand turns cause considerable spinning."

"However, with slightly improved traction, enhanced braking capabilities to halt the bike more effortlessly, and increased velocity on straights while maintaining a lower temperature."

Is this weekend going to mirror the events of May's Catalan Grand Prix?

"Marini expressed uncertainty, stating, 'It's hard to determine at this moment. But definitely, it's going to benefit everyone in terms of grip — everyone has a significant struggle with the rear grip."

"This could potentially benefit us, I believe – both Honda and Yamaha. We'll have to wait and see."

"Since the Grand Prix in Barcelona, our motorcycle has undergone significant changes. We'll also assess if our efforts are moving in the right direction and determine the extent of the bike's enhancements."

The last-minute change of location for the final race of the 2024 season, from Valencia to Barcelona, due to significant flood damage at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, forced Michelin to delay its choice of tire compounds for the event well beyond the usual timeframe.

"Marini expressed that it makes no difference to him," he stated. "Thus, it's not an issue whether they need to select the tyres at the season's start or not.

In my view, they did an excellent job this year, although the Sepang allocation was the only odd choice, not a particularly good one. However, all the other races were flawless.

He further commented, "I believe the outlook seems very promising; we appear to be fortunate. In my view, Michelin has provided us with an excellent selection."

"We aim to employ a dual-compound strategy for the front tire since the left turns, particularly turns two and five, consistently pose challenges here."

"Therefore, it's going to be fascinating to observe the performance of the soft [compound] tires at the start of tomorrow, determining their condition, and during Practice, the combination of the hard-compound alongside the double compound might present a highly viable strategy for the race. In my opinion, this aspect is particularly intriguing."

"Regarding the back, they've introduced an excellent soft [compound] tire, the softest choice available throughout the season, and it's somewhat unusual to observe such a soft tire here in Barcelona, where the track is quite challenging for tires. However, without a doubt, to achieve impressive lap times, it's going to be extremely enjoyable."

Marini mentioned that he had previously proposed giving manufacturers greater autonomy in selecting their tyre assortments for individual races.

"He mentioned that he often wonders whether it might be more advantageous to allow the manufacturers to choose their tyres themselves."

"For instance, the level of volume, if feasible."

"Additionally, the issue with the compounds is significant for me. Having only five sets of medium compound tires is definitely not sufficient. These tires are typically the best or most straightforward choice when sticking to a single compound, as they are the tires we are most familiar with. However, limited to just five sets means that if the dual-compound strategy fails, we're forced to compromise our first free practice session by using a less than ideal tire. This is done in an effort to conserve the medium options, which are likely to be the most suitable for the current temperature conditions."

"I believe this could be an effective solution, yet there's resistance to making a change."

In August 2024, Alex became a part of the Crash.net crew after spending two years at Visordown, where he reported on both consumer and racing motorcycle news.

Francesco Bagnaia discusses MotoGP championship climax: "Stress may be a factor, but I won't be the cause."

"I won't take any action that would negatively affect someone else's outcome."

Francesco Bagnaia has once more dismissed the idea of using any unique strategies to attempt to claim the MotoGP championship from Jorge Martin in the upcoming Barcelona face-off this weekend.

The current two-time champion enters the competition trailing Ducati teammate Martin by 24 points, with a total of 37 points still up for grabs in both the Sprint and the Grand Prix.

"Bagnaia stated that his goal is to triumph in both competitions, focusing on Sunday's race and then letting the outcomes unfold as they may, on the day prior to the event."

Should Bagnaia triumph in both events, he still requires several other competitors to outperform Martin.

Bagnaia faced an issue as it was impossible for anyone to bridge the gap to the frontrunners in the Catalunya Grand Prix held in May.

"In May, we secured the top three positions, with the third place finishing 11 seconds after us, demonstrating once more our superior performance," Bagnaia remarked. "However, I genuinely wish for more competition in the field."

"My goal is to achieve victory. I'm aware that Jorge has the capability to secure a [6th] place finish in both events to claim the championship, making it a challenging endeavor."

"However, it's important to consider that pressure might also have an influence."

When asked about his approach, Bagnaia dismissed the idea of intentionally slowing down.

"I refuse to take any action that might undermine someone else's outcome. Therefore, I'll give it my all, savor the experience, and aim to come out on top in both events. After that, we'll just see how things unfold."

"I'm aware that the current level we both share is sufficient to secure the championship for Jorge. This is because, despite a slight decrease in pace, it's improbable that he would end up outside of the top three."

"This is our current situation, but I won't attempt to provoke anything. Whatever is meant to be will be."

Nonetheless, Bagnaia acknowledged that certain riders would offer more assistance to either one of them.

"He's fully aware that he'll receive assistance from riders such as Aleix Espargaro, just as he anticipates support from our Academy riders," he mentioned.

“In essence, we find ourselves in somewhat comparable positions, though he has the upper hand by 24 points, allowing him a bit more leeway in his approach."

"The truth is, securing the championship on Sunday comes down to not only my strong performance but also hinges on him making an error over the weekend."

Bagnaia's greatest chance for an error from Martin likely lies in applying pressure.

The Italian confessed that during past championship battles against Fabio Quartararo in 2022 and Martin in 2023, he found it challenging to perform at his best while leading in points.

"I feel a lot more liberated at the moment because I'm committed to giving it my all," he shared. "Honestly, two years back, fear really got the better of me during the race, leading me to place eighth—a position that truly didn't reflect my capabilities. It felt odd.

"During the previous season, I aimed to stay composed, however, when it came to the actual races, I undoubtedly felt more anxious."

"However, it's unpredictable. Escaping pressure is impossible, and living with it presents its own challenges."

"As competitors, our goal is to achieve the highest excellence."

"Jorge is set to have a great weekend after completing an outstanding season. This time around, I believe my best might not suffice, so it remains to be seen what unfolds."

Bagnaia also rejected the idea of ramping up the stress on Martin by tailing him during practice, a strategy that the Pramac rider employed in Valencia the previous year.

"Bagnaia stated, 'If he begins the race behind me, my approach will be not to accelerate.'"

"From my perspective, psychological tactics have been ineffective. Therefore, I've never engaged in them and will maintain my current approach to my work."

"I believe Jorge learned from last year's experience that he merely wasted time through his actions. Hence, it's wiser to focus on one's duties, prepare thoroughly, and then make decisions during the race."

However, the 27-year-old emphasized the simplicity of committing an error given the multitude of factors in play this weekend.

"He mentioned that the challenge lies in competing at a circuit that may present more complex scenarios."

"The temperature is low, and we're equipped with four types of front tires and three for the rear. The track's complexity makes it a level playing field where numerous competitors can showcase their speed, necessitating cautious tire management. We're fully aware that both Aprilia and KTM have a strong performance on this circuit."

"Therefore, there's a chance we'll face more competitors, and simple errors can lead to a downfall, similar to my experience in Malaysia. I was engaged in a routine activity and suddenly, I was down by 12 points. Thus, the possibility of victory or defeat is quite high. I believe anything is possible."

Should Martin avoid any issues and emerge as the inaugural MotoGP world champion from a satellite squad, Bagnaia will promptly extend his congratulations to him.

"Certainly, when it comes to errors, I made plenty. To become a champion, one needs to exhibit greater precision and consistency, and Jorge outperformed me in consistency," Bagnaia remarked.

"In considering the outcomes of the races, it's evident that our performance was superior, given that I secured victories in ten races on Sunday and six on Saturday. Thus, when looking at the sheer outcomes, we excelled substantially, yet I believe that both of us merit the championship title."

"I have a peculiar sentiment to express, and it may come off as odd, but if Jorge secures the championship, I wouldn't feel joyous on his behalf. Given our longstanding acquaintance, I do believe he merits the title as well."

For two decades, Peter has witnessed the ebb and flow of the paddock, including the rise and departure of Valentino Rossi. He is leading the coverage on Suzuki's departure and the challenges Marc Marquez faces with his injuries.

Liberty Media Advances in Acquisition of MotoGP

American Firm Submits MotoGP Acquisition Proposal to European Commission

Liberty Media has moved forward in its plan to acquire the MotoGP World Championship by submitting the transaction for approval to the European Commission.

Earlier this year, the American firm that presently owns Formula 1 revealed that it had purchased an 86% controlling stake in Dorna Sports, the organization behind MotoGP.

Since then, Liberty has been navigating the essential regulatory steps to finalize the acquisition by the end of the year.

On Thursday, at Liberty’s Investor Day event, CEO Greg Maffei announced that the company had submitted its acquisition of MotoGP to the European Commission for review.

He stated, "Regarding MotoGP briefly, we submitted our application to the European Commission for regulatory approval earlier today, and we anticipate obtaining it by the end of the year."

Maffei stated, "If you examine the weekend schedule, you'll notice a series of sprint events, starting with Moto2 and Moto3, leading up to the main MotoGP race."

The highly successful feeder series play a crucial role in not just engaging fans, but also in offering broadcasters as much as 25 hours of weekend content.

This is an excellent company; it's a unique chance to obtain a global asset with league-level stature, centralized commercial rights, a varied revenue stream, and significant profitability.

Before Liberty became involved, the fanbase was already expanding. Compared to the same period last year, attendance has increased by approximately 9%, and they are sustaining the record figures observed in 2023.

The European Commission must decide on Liberty's acquisition of MotoGP by December 19th.

Earlier this week, Maffei revealed that he plans to resign from his position as CEO of Liberty by the year's end.

If the acquisition gets the green light, Liberty will become the owner of F1 and its associated series, including MotoGP and all other assets held by Dorna, such as World Superbikes. Meanwhile, Liberty Global, a related company, holds ownership of Formula E.

This has raised concerns among some groups about Liberty having a monopoly in the motorsport industry.

In 2006, CVC Capital acquired Formula 1 but was required by competition authorities to relinquish its stake in MotoGP.

From the start, Liberty has been assured that things will be different this time.

Fastest lap: Aleix Espargaro achieved a time of 1 minute and 38.190 seconds (2024).

Quickest circuit time: Pedro Acosta at 1 minute and 39.664 seconds (2024)

Francesco Bagnaia maintained his pursuit of championship frontrunner Jorge Martin by topping the timesheets in Friday's practice session for the 2024 Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP season finale.

After experiencing an unexpected tumble following the morning's chequered flag, Bagnaia recovered swiftly, securing the leading position ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Aleix Espargaro by late afternoon.

In contrast, Brad Binder and Jack Miller, riding KTMs, failed to secure spots in the top ten and will therefore have to compete in Saturday’s Qualifying 1 session.

During the first practice session, the majority of riders opted to use a consistent setup of soft front and medium rear tires. However, as temperatures rose later in the day, they switched to a combination of medium and hard front tires paired with either soft or medium rear tires.

Prior to the late-session time attacks, VR46's Bezzecchi topped the leaderboard on worn tires, with Vinales, Alex Marquez, Acosta, Martin, Bagnaia, Zarco, Binder, Morbidelli, and Aleix Espargaro following him.

Martin, who seemed to experiment with the widest variety of tire choices today, immediately secured the leading position by using fresh soft tires on both the front and rear.

Even though Martin was quick, he appeared restless in the pit area, urgently signaling for crew chief Daniele Romagnoli to talk about a possible problem.

In the meantime, Johann Zarco from LCR Honda delivered a blazing lap while trailing Marc Marquez, allowing him to set the quickest time.

The last stretch kicked off with Zarco, Martin, Maverick Vinales, Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, Pedro Acosta, Enea Bastianini, Marc Marquez, Aleix Espargaro, and Jack Miller holding the top ten positions.

Marquez, Zarco, and Fabio Quartararo lined up behind Bagnaia for their final laps, but it was Bezzecchi, a fellow VR46 Academy member, who independently surged to the lead.

However, this won't last.

Bagnaia managed to surpass the GP23 rider by 0.080 seconds, while Martin found himself in fifth place after sacrificing a lap due to a significant front-end recovery. Espargaro, who had previously secured pole position and won the Sprint in May, took a late third place but appeared to think he could have achieved more.

Caution flags were quickly removed following Joan Mir's late crash and Acosta's excursion off the track.

Barcelona MotoGP Official Records:

Fastest lap: Aleix Espargaro clocked in at 1 minute and 38.190 seconds (2024)

Quickest lap time: Pedro Acosta clocked in at 1 minute and 39.664 seconds (2024)

Takaaki Nakagami leads the timesheets at the start of his last full-time MotoGP weekend, with unusual events marking the beginning and end of the first practice session for the Solidarity Barcelona season finale.

Title contender Jorge Martin gained an initial advantage over his competitor Francesco Bagnaia by securing fifth place. However, Bagnaia experienced a fall at Turn 1 once the session concluded, after the chequered flag had been waved.

While coasting with his elbow resting on the tank following a failed practice start, Bagnaia appeared taken aback by Maverick Vinales executing an outside pass in the braking zone, resulting in him losing control of the front.

While reviewing a replay in the pits, Vinales later made a gesture that seemed to say, "What did I do?"

During his practice start, Bagnaia experienced another spin, possibly due to experimenting with a low front-holeshot configuration.

The positive outcome for Bagnaia was that he walked away without any injuries.

In a cool yet dry environment with the temperature at 14 degrees, Nakagami managed to pull ahead by 0.4 seconds over Pedro Acosta in the closing moments. This came after he experienced a fall earlier in the session. To achieve this, he equipped his bike with fresh soft front and medium rear tires.

Acosta, similar to the majority of riders, opted for the same combination of soft and medium tires, yet started the weekend by crashing.

Tech3 teammates collide

The race was halted only six minutes in, as red flags were shown following an unusual crash involving Acosta and his Tech3 teammate Augusto Fernandez at the Turn 5 exit.

Fernandez tried to overtake Acosta on the outside, as Acosta was stuck behind Brad Binder.

However, Acosta, who was leaning inward, did not notice Fernandez's maneuver, leading to a collision between the two as they exited. This incident caused both riders to fall, damaged an air barrier, and resulted in the race being halted with red flags.

Thankfully, the two riders emerged unscathed, although Acosta was visibly shaken while conversing with his team in the pit area.

Prior to the red flag incident, VR46 substitute rider Michele Pirro faced difficulties early on, specifically at Turn 5.

Due to a last-minute venue change and lower temperatures, Michelin is providing a season-high selection of seven different tire options this weekend, with four choices for the front and three for the rear.

How Martin could secure the MotoGP championship during the Sprint race in Barcelona this Saturday:

Heading into the decisive weekend, Martin is ahead of Bagnaia by 24 points.

This would allow Martin to become the premier-class champion for the first time and make history as the first satellite rider to secure the title in the MotoGP era, provided he wins the Saturday Sprint or finishes with at least two more points than Bagnaia.

Although Martin holds the advantage, the cooler weather and potential for rain suggest there could still be an unexpected turn in what Bagnaia, the reigning double champion, has described as a "championship of errors."

Barcelona has stepped in as a last-minute substitute for the usual finale in Valencia, which was called off due to severe flooding.

In May, during the MotoGP event at the circuit, local favorite Aleix Espargaro revealed on Thursday that he intends to retire. He then went on to dominate Friday's practice sessions, secured the top spot in qualifying, and triumphed in the Sprint race, benefiting from a final lap error by Bagnaia.

Bagnaia struck back by securing a win in the grand prix, while Martin, who started in seventh place due to a qualifying crash, managed to finish second. Meanwhile, Marc Marquez, who failed to advance to Qualifying 2, impressively climbed from 14th to earn a spot on the podium in both races.

Gresini's rider, Marquez, is currently ahead by just one point over Enea Bastianini in the competition for third place in the world championship. Notably, Marquez will be taking over Bastianini's position with the factory Ducati team next year.

This weekend, the battle for fifth place overall and the highest-ranked non-Ducati rider will be determined. Rookie Pedro Acosta currently holds a narrow 3-point advantage over Brad Binder, who will be his teammate on the KTM factory team in the future.

Miguel Oliveira is set to make his comeback in his last Trackhouse race, following his absence from five rounds because of fractures in his left wrist sustained in Mandalika.

Ducati's test rider Michele Pirro has been selected to fill in for VR46 team member Fabio di Giannantonio, following di Giannantonio's recent shoulder operation.

The current two-time world champion set the pace, edging out VR46 Ducati's Marco Bezzecchi by 0.080 seconds, as Martin struggled and ended up in fifth place.

The difference between the two is minimal, as only 0.296 seconds separated them by the conclusion of Friday's session.

At the beginning of the one-hour practice session, Martin quickly established the initial lead with a time of 1 minute and 40.934 seconds. However, as the session approached the crucial final 15 minutes dedicated to the time attack, it was Bezzecchi who emerged as the key competitor to watch.

Pramac's Martin climbed to the leading position by clocking a lap time of 1 minute and 39.652 seconds during his initial attempt with a soft tire. He later bettered this performance to 1 minute and 39.214 seconds.

Johann Zarco of LCR Honda clocked the quickest time at 1 minute 39.197 seconds, but it was Bezzecchi who surpassed him, setting a new best of 1 minute 38.998 seconds with less than three minutes remaining.

Bagnaia, along with several other riders, ultimately led the timesheets, clocking in at 1 minute and 38.918 seconds to cross the finish line first overall.

Bezzecchi followed closely behind, with Aleix Espargaro from Aprilia securing third place as he kicks off his final weekend in MotoGP.

Zarco finished in an impressive fourth place at the conclusion of the session, while Martin, who experienced multiple issues with the front end throughout, secured the fifth spot.

Maverick Vinales secured the sixth position riding the other factory Aprilia, trailed by the Gresini Ducati team members Alex Marquez and Marc Marquez.

Tech3 GASGAS newcomer Pedro Acosta finished ninth, while Ducati's Enea Bastianini was the final racer to earn a spot in Q2 directly.

The factory KTM riders, Brad Binder and Jack Miller, finished in 11th and 12th places, respectively, at the end of the race. However, Binder had one of his laps invalidated, resulting in him being relegated to 17th position. Fabio Quartararo led the Yamaha contingent by securing 14th place.

Franco Morbidelli of the Pramac team experienced a crash early in the session. Similarly, Augusto Fernandez from Tech3 also went down. Later on, Honda's Joan Mir had a minor fall.

On his comeback race with Trackhouse Aprilia, Miguel Oliveira finished in 20th place, trailing 1.486 seconds behind the leader. Meanwhile, Michele Pirro, who was filling in for VR46, secured the 22nd position.

Honda Holds Edge Over Yamaha at Barcelona MotoGP – Claims Alex Rins

"In circuits like this, where the grip is minimal, it seems they have the upper hand against us…"

According to Alex Rins, the chilly conditions at the MotoGP Solidarity Grand Prix in Barcelona did not benefit Yamaha. In fact, they found themselves at a disadvantage compared to Honda.

It was anticipated that the lower temperatures would benefit Yamaha, as they faced challenges at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya back in May when the track temperatures soared into the 40s Celsius.

Rins described the weather as "freezing," indicating that it was almost too cold to ride. Despite some initial optimism for the weekend, the two Yamaha riders ended Practice outside the top 10, with Rins finishing in 14th place, just one position behind his teammate, Fabio Quartararo.

Compared to others, Honda appeared to perform significantly better, as Johann Zarco from the LCR team secured the fifth-fastest time.

Rins acknowledged after the opening day in Barcelona for the Solidarity Grand Prix this weekend that the Honda has occasionally outperformed the Yamaha before.

"It's accurate to say that for several races now, I've been telling the team that their grip is superior to ours, particularly when it comes to mechanical grip."

On tracks with minimal grip, it seems they hold an edge over us.

Rins believed Yamaha faced greater challenges at the Solidarity Grand Prix compared to their performance at the Catalan Grand Prix five months earlier.

"There was significant uncertainty about whether it would improve," Rins remarked. "However, this Grand Prix is definitely important, as it allows us to compare information with a different motorcycle that we used during the sixth round here a few months back."

"To tell the truth, we're facing more difficulties now compared to the initial Montmelo Grand Prix."

"It's slightly more difficult to gain traction and navigate corners, so we need to figure out a solution."

Currently, it's true that we are somewhat directionless. We're uncertain about the steps needed to make progress, but it's essential to continue our efforts and assessments. Maintaining belief and not surrendering is vital.

"We have to continue our efforts, but we're facing difficulties."

Aleix Espargaro expressed excitement for Saturday, stating, "I can enjoy myself with the fastest engine I've ever experienced." He mentioned that he had a great time today and doesn't see anyone being exceptionally quick or dominant, so he believes he can have some fun in the upcoming day.

Aleix Espargaro acknowledged that the challenge was greater than it appeared, yet he remains optimistic about contending for a win in Saturday's Barcelona Sprint race following his third-place finish in Friday's practice session.

Uncertainty surrounds Sunday, which marks Espargaro's last MotoGP race as a regular competitor, with concerns that the Ducatis may once more outpace the competition.

Espargaro gained an advantage with a new Aprilia engine for the last race and commended Michelin for providing seven different tire choices for the rescheduled season finale.

However, the chilly afternoon, with temperatures around 17 degrees, added an extra layer of difficulty to the already infamous slick track.

Espargaro described the day as more challenging than it appeared due to extremely tough conditions. He noted that attempting a time attack with the MotoGP bikes in 17-degree weather is quite demanding. Espargaro finished the session behind only Francesco Bagnaia and Marco Bezzecchi.

The rider mentioned having some difficulties with grip, similar to issues encountered earlier in the season. Despite these challenges, they expressed satisfaction with their progress, noting significant improvement. To avoid repeating crashes experienced on previous Fridays at the last four Grand Prix events, they approached the start with extra caution.

The Spanish rider stated: "What Michelin has done is incredible. We have numerous choices. They have provided significant protection for the left side of the tire. Personally, I feel it's a bit excessive. However, I won't criticize them for it. It's preferable to this than risking a crash. In my opinion, they have done an exceptional job."

"You should test out the tire, although it's challenging since I have a strong liking for this track. However, it's rather slick and the temperature is quite low."

Grasping the limits is challenging because it feels like the bike isn't fully gripping the track. At 17°, navigating these MotoGP bikes becomes extremely tricky, making it quite easy to crash.

On the positive side, Espargaro was encouraged by having 'the quickest engine he has ever experienced'.

"Aprilia is putting in a lot of effort; they've provided me with a new engine that is the quickest I've ever experienced. With slightly higher RPMs, I'm really speeding down the straights, so I'm pleased. We're experimenting with everything we can."

Espargaro, representing Aprilia, has secured victory in three out of the last four races held at his home circuit, also clinching the Sprint race from the pole position back in May.

The #41 team is optimistic about enjoying themselves with soft tires during tomorrow's Sprint event.

"Regarding his chance for a final win, he mentioned, 'If we focus on Saturday with the soft tyres and not Sunday, then yes, I believe it's possible!'"

"I had a good time today. I experimented with various front and rear setups and felt pretty comfortable overall. I didn't notice anyone being exceptionally quick or powerful, so I believe we have a chance."

"For Sunday, I'm not sure about our long-distance speed yet, but I believe I can enjoy myself tomorrow."

Espargaro's careful approach on Sunday is justified, as Ducati has not been defeated in a full-length race since Maverick Vinales, his teammate, secured a victory in the third round at COTA.

This encompasses the Catalunya Grand Prix in May, during which Espargaro secured the highest position among non-Ducati riders, finishing in fourth place but trailing the winner by over ten seconds.

The Spanish rider, who is set to take on Honda's testing and wild-card roles following this weekend, stated that other manufacturers remain behind Ducati in comprehending the new rear tire design for the 2024 season.

"We examine a multitude of factors in detail and put in a lot of effort to comprehend various aspects… However, there is one element that remains elusive," he stated.

"We're lacking traction and grip, while Ducati seems to be benefiting from the rear tire, which is causing us a lot of difficulties."

In addition to focusing on his own race this weekend, Espargaro is also monitoring the championship battle between his close friend and upcoming Aprilia teammate Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia.

This morning, Bagnaia experienced an unexpected incident when he lost control of the front and crashed. This occurred after the chequered flag had been waved, as Vinales overtook him at Turn 1 just after a practice start.

This occurred after a strange incident involving Tech3 riders Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez, which led to the race being halted with red flags.

Espargaro mentioned that he prefers not to focus on any specific event, but emphasized that the excitement is high due to it being the final race. He noted that everyone is exhausted and has their mind on the new bikes coming out on Tuesday.

"Pecco is definitely feeling quite anxious as he contemplates his championship prospects. It's a real challenge to handle. The most important approach is to avoid assigning blame and focus on completing the race while enjoying it as much as you can."

On Friday, Vinales clocked the sixth-fastest time, ensuring his direct passage to Qualifying 2.

For two decades, Peter has been involved in the paddock, witnessing both the arrival and departure of Valentino Rossi. He is currently leading coverage on Suzuki's departure and the injury challenges faced by Marc Marquez.

Pedro Acosta expressed regret by saying, "I managed to secure some points, but I completely messed everything up!" He further reflected on the season, stating, "We were in the running for several victories, but I totally blew it!"

Pedro Acosta has expressed regret over losing valuable points due to what he described as "foolish accidents" during his first year.

In his debut season in the top-tier MotoGP category, Acosta has made a significant impact while racing for Tech3 GASGAS.

The current Moto2 titleholder, who was still in his teens at the beginning of the year, is currently ranked fifth in the championship standings as he approaches the last race of the season in Barcelona this weekend.

Should Acosta maintain his three-point advantage over his KTM teammate Brad Binder, he will be the highest-ranked rider not on a Ducati.

"It's not very significant. However, considering all the errors made this season, it's astonishing that I'm still in fifth place," stated Acosta.

"Ending the season with positive results and a good attitude is more crucial."

"We battled hard for numerous victories this season, but I completely messed everything up!"

"The ability to compete for victories existed. It was a feasible goal, not a mere fantasy."

"In recent races, there has been progress. I've experimented with the fairings, and despite having limited information, I managed to finish in the top five, which is a positive outcome."

"I won't be testing any new components this weekend."

Acosta let out a sigh and reflected, "Every error I committed, all the opportunities I wasted, the foolish accidents, and the necessary attempts…"

Following a couple of early top-three finishes, Jorge Lorenzo was one of those who forecasted that Acosta would secure a grand prix victory during his first year as a competitor.

Acosta has not met that forecast and has faced challenges on his KTM, yet achieving five podium finishes on Sundays is commendable.

He concludes his first year with the anticipation of being advanced to the factory KTM team.

"It's not unusual to feel this way; I'm thrilled to be competing in the final race with a chance to finish in the top five of the championship," he remarked.

"We're pleased with the figures and outcomes, but they still fall short of what we aim for."

"Wrapping up one season and kicking off another on Tuesday with the factory team? I'm incredibly excited because it's a lifelong dream coming true."

"I anticipated this day would come, but it's happening earlier than I thought."

"I am excited to conclude the season on a high note."

Acosta promised to stay out of the championship showdown involving Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin.

"I really hope that's not the case; I have more pressing matters to attend to than pretending," he remarked.

"I have no desire to take on this role. It's not fair play."

"If there are only two contenders, then those two must face off against each other."

Francesco Bagnaia on the MotoGP championship battle: "While pressure might have an impact, I won't be the one to instigate any issues."

"I won't engage in actions that could jeopardize anyone's outcomes."

Francesco Bagnaia has once more dismissed the idea of using any particular strategies to wrest the MotoGP championship from Jorge Martin during this weekend's Barcelona event.

The current titleholder, aiming for a third consecutive championship, is trailing Ducati teammate Martin by 24 points. With just 37 points left to be claimed in the upcoming Sprint and grand prix races, the pressure is on.

On the day before the event, Bagnaia expressed that his goal is to secure victory in both races, aiming for a win on Sunday and to let the rest unfold as it may.

Should Bagnaia secure victories in both races, he still requires several other competitors to finish ahead of Martin.

Bagnaia's challenge is that none of the competitors could match the top contenders during the Catalunya Grand Prix held in May.

"In May, we claimed the top three spots, with the third-place finisher trailing us by 11 seconds, highlighting our superior performance once more," Bagnaia remarked. "However, I truly wish that more competitors will join the battle next time."

"My goal is to come out on top. I'm aware that Jorge can still secure a [6th] place finish in both races to clinch the championship. Therefore, it won't be easy."

"However, pressure might also have an impact."

When questioned about his approach, Bagnaia made it clear that he would not employ any slow-paced tactics.

"I won't do anything that might jeopardize anyone's outcome. Therefore, I'll give it my all, enjoy myself, and aim to win both races. Whatever happens after that, happens."

"Currently, both of us are performing at a level that should secure the championship for Jorge. Even if he reduces his pace slightly, it's unlikely he will end up off the podium."

"This is the situation we're in, but I won't attempt to influence it. Whatever is meant to occur will take its course."

Nevertheless, Bagnaia acknowledged that some riders would provide more assistance to certain individuals.

He mentioned that he is fully aware that riders such as Aleix Espargaro will assist him, just as he expects support from the riders in their Academy.

"In essence, I believe we're both in almost the same position, but he has a lead of 24 points. This allows him a bit more flexibility in his approach."

"The truth is, if I end up taking the championship on Sunday, it will be due to my strong performance as well as his error over the weekend."

Applying pressure might be Bagnaia's most promising strategy to induce an error from Martin.

The Italian rider confessed that he found it challenging to ride without pressure when he was leading in points during past championship battles against Fabio Quartararo in 2022 and Martin in 2023.

He expressed a sense of liberation, saying, "At this moment, I feel much freer because I need to give it my all." Reflecting on the race two years prior, he admitted, "I was genuinely frightened during that event, and I ended up finishing in eighth place, which was far below what I was capable of achieving. It was a peculiar experience."

"During the previous season, I attempted to stay relaxed, though I felt considerably more anxious while competing."

"You can never be certain. Avoiding pressure is impossible, and dealing with it is challenging."

"We are competitors at heart and aim to perform at our highest potential."

Jorge can really make the most of the weekend as he had an excellent season. At this point, I believe my best efforts may not suffice, so we'll have to wait and see what unfolds.

Bagnaia rejected the idea of putting extra pressure on Martin by trailing him during practice sessions, a strategy that the Pramac rider employed at Valencia the previous year.

Bagnaia stated that if he begins the race ahead of him, he won't exert any additional effort to maintain the lead.

"In my experience, psychological tactics haven't been effective, so I have never engaged in them and will keep focusing on my responsibilities."

Jorge seems to have learned from last year's experience that it was a waste of time for him to act in that way. It’s more beneficial to focus on your tasks, prepare thoroughly, and make your decision during the race itself.

However, the 27-year-old emphasized the potential for errors this weekend, given the numerous factors at play.

"It’s challenging since we are competing on a track that might present more complex scenarios," he mentioned.

"The weather is chilly, and we have a selection of four types of front tires and three types of rear tires. Many riders perform well at this track because it presents challenges, so it's important to be cautious about tire choices. We're fully aware that both Aprilia and KTM have strong performances at this location."

"It's possible we might face more competitors, and simple errors could lead to incidents, just as I experienced in Malaysia. I was just going through the usual motions when I unexpectedly missed out on 12 points. Winning or losing can happen quite easily. I believe anything is possible in this scenario."

If Martin manages to avoid any issues and secures the title of the first MotoGP world champion representing a satellite team, Bagnaia will be among the first to offer his congratulations.

"I definitely made numerous errors," Bagnaia admitted. "To become a champion, precision and consistency are crucial, and Jorge was more consistent than I was."

"In terms of race outcomes, it's evident that we performed better since I secured victories in ten Sunday races and six Saturday races. Thus, regarding sheer results, our performance was excellent. However, I believe both of us are worthy of the championship title."

"I'd like to express something that might come across as unusual: if Jorge were to win the championship, I wouldn't be able to feel happier for him. We've been acquainted for quite some time, and I believe he truly deserves the title."

For two decades, Peter has been a fixture in the paddock, witnessing both the arrival and departure of Valentino Rossi. He is deeply involved in reporting on Suzuki's departure and the challenges surrounding Marc Marquez's injuries.

Jorge Martin believes the MotoGP championship battle will be decided on Sunday. "Throughout last season, my mind was constantly on how to achieve something historic and my main focus was on winning the championship."

Jorge Martin believes that not fixating on winning the MotoGP title has brought him close to achieving a historic world championship victory this weekend.

The strategy of the Pramac rider, which involves focusing on each race individually, will undergo its most challenging evaluation at the upcoming Barcelona MotoGP finale. In this event, either he or the current titleholder, Francesco Bagnaia, will emerge as the champion.

Martin has a significant advantage, leading by 24 points as he aims to be the first MotoGP world champion representing a satellite team.

However, he must manage the stress effectively.

"Perhaps Pecco can offer me some tips since he was in a similar position last year," Martin remarked on Thursday. He was alluding to the situation from the previous year when he was pursuing Bagnaia without success.

“During the previous season, my mind was constantly on making history and winning the championship. This year, my mindset has shifted, and I haven't been preoccupied with those thoughts throughout the entire season.”

The rider emphasized the importance of concentrating on aspects within their control, which includes giving their all when on the motorbike and delivering their best performance. They acknowledged that they fell short of this goal at the conclusion of the previous season.

"I currently feel very positive. I'm confident and believe I can have an excellent weekend. That's all."

Although Martin hasn't clinched as many victories as Bagnaia or as he did in the previous season, he has consistently secured more podium finishes and committed fewer errors.

"The crucial aspect was the entire season. I came across a quote from a fighter who mentioned, 'I secure the championship during my training sessions.' For us, this implies that each race contributes to winning the title, and it's in the final round that you receive the medal."

"At this point, something might occur, but what truly matters is the effort we have put in throughout the entire season. We gave our all in every competition. Now, it's crucial to figure out what is necessary to secure that medal."

The #89 has a chance to secure the championship ahead of time by clinching victory in the Saturday Sprint, but he believes that Bagnaia will extend the competition until Sunday.

He expressed that he feels ready to compete focusing solely on himself, without worrying about others. His goal is to relish the weekend, aim for speed, and seize the victory on Saturday if the opportunity arises.

"I believe this will extend to Sunday, and I'm okay with that. The aim is to have fun while staying competitive."

Sunday marks Martin's final race with Pramac and Ducati, as he has inked a deal to join Aprilia's factory team in 2025.

For two decades, Peter has been a presence in the paddock, witnessing the arrival and departure of Valentino Rossi. He is closely following the developments surrounding Suzuki's departure and Marc Marquez’s struggles with injuries.

Michelin unveils an 'exceptional' tyre selection for the MotoGP championship showdown in Barcelona

For the upcoming Barcelona season climax, MotoGP competitors will have access to seven distinct tyre choices.

The unexpected shift in location for the final race of the MotoGP season, moving from Valencia to Barcelona, means Michelin will supply what it describes as a 'remarkable tyre package' for the championship showdown.

Due to the severe flooding in Valencia, the change in circuit has led Michelin to provide a variety of tires from those used in Barcelona in May, in addition to other compounds that are better suited for the significantly lower temperatures expected this weekend.

The outcome includes a selection of seven tyre choices, which consists of four options for the front tyres (one asymmetric Soft, one symmetrical Medium, one symmetrical Hard compound, and one asymmetric Hard) along with three asymmetric rear tyre variations in Soft, Medium, and Hard categories. Notably, the Medium and Hard rear tyres correspond to the Soft and Medium options available since May.

"From May to November, the variations in temperature required us to adjust," stated Piero Taramasso, the manager of Michelin's motorcycle racing division.

The setup of the circuit doesn't essentially alter the circumstances, however, this challenging course is notorious for its minimal traction. Additionally, it's uneven, subjecting the right side of the tires to significantly more strain.

"In accordance with the policies set for these situations, we will supply extra rubber materials for both the front and the back."

We began with the package utilized in May, incorporating a softer rear compound to accommodate potentially cooler track conditions. This addition aims to enhance the performance of the Soft and Medium compounds (now reclassified as Medium and Hard), which demonstrated exceptional effectiveness throughout the Tissot Sprint and the Grand Prix.

The trio of back tires will feature an uneven design, boasting a strengthened right side. Regarding the front tires, we've opted against including the Michelin Power Slick Hard compound that was available in May, believing it won't see any use.

"Rather than making changes, we will continue to utilize the Soft and Medium choices. To these, we are incorporating two asymmetric designs typically observed in Valencia, at the Sachsenring in Germany, or at Phillip Island in Australia, but with added reinforcement on the right side."

"Our goal is to provide our collaborators with every available option for efficiently controlling tyre temperatures, ensuring the season finale is as thrilling as the numerous races witnessed this year."

Heading into this weekend's final race, Jorge Martin holds a 24-point advantage over Francesco Bagnaia, with up to 37 points up for grabs.

Bagnaia lost his leading position during the final lap of Barcelona's May Sprint, only to come back and secure a win over Martin in the grand prix.

For the races held in May, the preferred choice was the medium front tire, paired with soft rear tires for the Sprint and medium rear tires for the Grand Prix.

For two decades, Peter has been a fixture in the racing world, witnessing the rise and retirement of Valentino Rossi. He's leading the coverage on Suzuki's departure from the scene and the challenges Marc Marquez faces with his injuries.
