The postponement of the Kazakhstan Grand Prix created a break of almost a month in MotoGP. We are preparing to live a double header before a new four-week hiatus in July. THE Dutch Grands Prix And Germany they will therefore be a sort of competitive oasis in the middle of a temporal desert, devoid of any competition.
However, the MotoGP scenario has changed profoundly compared to Mugello. As was widely expected, the interruption was exploited by various companies to define contracts in optical terms 2025. Thus we arrived at the sensational passage of Jorge Martin toApriliato the promotion of Marc Marquez in Official Ducati and to the transfer of Enea Bastianini in the galaxy Ktm.
In the immediate aftermath and on the surface nothing changes, but deep down an earthquake has occurred.

We’ll see what it will be the outcome of the Assen race, which will be followed next week by the Sachsenring. By nose, the favorite to win this World Cup has become Bagnaia (three victories in the last four GPs and a politically strong position within Ducati), but the season is still long and a lot can happen.
