MotoGP is at the starting blocks: with the Qatar Grand Prix the 2022 season officially kicks off, Valentino Rossi’s first orphan. Not being able to count on the presence of what has been the star of the category for over a quarter of a century, however, should not worry at all, quite the contrary.
Ducati, with eight Desmosedici GPs at the start, promises to be the bike to beat. And even Pecco Bagnaia, even if not in words, has openly thrown the gauntlet to Fabio Quartararo’s Yamaha. El Diablo has little to smile about: the M1 has grown, but not as much and as the Frenchman had requested. Beside him, now, there is also a Franco Morbidelli who has grown in confidence with the vehicle and has almost fully recovered in his physique.
Who hopes not to return to the infirmary for a very long time is Marc Marquez: the diplopia seems to be behind him, and the new RC123V put on the track by Honda made the eight-time world champion smile heartily.
Almost the same speech in Suzuki, which finds in Livio Suppo the new team manager, with Joan Mir who recently spent words of praise for the house from Hamamatsu. On the other hand, the one who has to watch his back is Alex Rins, who has just returned from a truly disappointing 2021.
KTM chapter: with Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira in the official team and rising star Raul Fernandes in Tech3, the Austrian manufacturer is a candidate for the role of outsider in the category. Almost, in some ways, like Aprilia, which has grown incredibly in terms of performance and substance. And with a Maverick Vinales, hopefully, finally free to express himself.
