Ad-free MotoGP pod: Everything we got right (and wrong) about 2024
Added 2024-12-23 13:43:42 +0000 UTCThe Race MotoGP Podcast is always fond of a predictions episode and in 2024 we did quite a few. But this year we're holding ourselves to account and revisiting our predictions to see how often we nailed the prophecies and how often we were miles off the mark.
Special guest Lewis Duncan from Crash.net joins Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer to look back at everything from our 2025 rider market predictions to how we thought the championship would pan out. We did better on the rider market front than the results front...
Across both the predictions we thought were lairy at the time but turned out to be correct and suggestions that seemed logical but proved nonsense, our assessment of our past selves' opinions shows how much the MotoGP world has changed during the epic 2024 season.

2024-12-24 08:05:15 +0000 UTCStill find it staggering that Ducati haven't backed Gresini, from Simon's various comments and hints across podcasts they do seem like a better run and far less mercenary outfit than VR46 or Pramac. They could've had it all, Pecco and Martin at the factory and Marc continuing his fairytale at Gresini. Instead, they've lost the #1, lost Pramac, presumably lost a bit of favour with Gresini who must be miffed at VR46 getting the factory bike, they've opened themselves up to a fractious and divisive environment in the factory due to the Bagnia/Marquez rivalry, and they're wasting the talents of Carcheddi!
