Ok Ed, it's your thread so I will comply, however waiting a week after the results have been published before discussion is arbitrary. I will begin a new thread for immediate discussion of results.
I don’t really watch tv or any other racing, but I love MotoGP. I usually only catch highlights on YouTube though. I like the battle between the big bangers and the inline 4s
My understanding is that people don’t like Marquez because he’s too risky.

What’s a team called if it’s not a factory team? I just read Aprilia got factory status this year, so what were they last year? We’re they not allowed to ride prototypes or something?
There’s a movie/documentary called Hitting the Apex. It’s really good at covering many aspects of MotoGP. Brad Pitt is the voice. It’s what got me into it and I never really cared much about racing before.
Well this ain't good!

Suzuki To Withdraw From MotoGP At End Of 2022 Season
Epic bummer!!! Suzuki was doing really well.
I wonder how much money it cost them to run the team? A LOT, I'm sure. But the scope of Suzuki's involvement was much smaller than that of Ducati, for example, and they have quite a lot of bikes on the grid.
Yeah I don’t get it Ed. And Suzuki is going to have to break a contract with Motogp that was to see them committing until 2026…that won’t be cheap. But it looks like the board is looking for ways to save money big time. They pulled cars out of North America in 2014 and I hear a vicious rumour that they could do the same with motorcycles. 
Privateer? .......
Suzuki's involvement in racing has always been sponsor dependent. Money's tight at the moment so it's not really that much of a surprise.
Well MotoGP is Huge in Europe, not much in USA. Maybe not much in Asia either?
Ducati is serious about MotoGP because they are European. Why is BMW not in MotoGP?
All the Japanese bike factories have more money than Ducati, but are spending way less.
Kawasaki dropped out, Suzuki is saying goodby. Honda and Yamaha seem apathetic about R & D, because only 2 superstars can win on their bikes.
Seems manufacturers get much more exposure in superbike racing, for the money invested.
When a wise buyer shops for a performance bike, they consider superbike race results. MotoGP bikes have nothing to do with factory street bikes.
Looks like superbikes are rare on Asian streets, I see only small displacement bikes there.
