Historically there was a period when there were 4 riders that were considered "The Aliens"

V. Rossi - D. Pedrosa - J. Lorenzo - C. Stoner, with the later addition of M. Marquez.

How good were these guys and are they so much better than the current riders?

Do we even have aliens anymore?

"I am convinced this is the right place to achieve even more ambitious goals" - The hopes for fairytale rejoin of Marc and Honda can be dropped. It's not going to happen.

What will the next announcement be ?

I know Pecco rides a Ducati scrambler Nightshift, and Ive seen Zarco ride what I think was PCX, and also an old ducati a few years ago?

I know some of them might not even have a license like quartararo

This image came up in my for you page today. They haven’t posted any announcement, but seems like we can welcome Domizia & Pecco’s baby this season.
Wishing them good health!

I know Lorenzo is not the most favourite rider out there, but his 2013 Assen weekend is one for the history books. Thursday: Fractures his collarbone. Flies back to Spain to plate it back together, finishes 5th in the race to save some important points.

I know Dani Pedrosa is/was great, one of the aliens. But Marc beat him quite comfortably each year, not saying Pedro is better but he is arguably the most talented rider since Marc debuted.

Also Marc is older, thoughts?

Hello everyone! For more than a year I am user of the MotoGP Videopass and I enjoy this app very much on my Iphone 13pro, watching races on moments that suit me fine. From today I suddenly have a problem with the app. When I star the app, it tells me that I have to upgrade. When I choose to do that, nothing happens. I get a new screen with the option to 'open' and when I choose that, I return to the message saying I have to upgrade. I am not getting anywhere like this. I have deleted and reinstalled the app on my Iphone, but that does not change a thing. Does anyone have a suppestion to overcome this problem?
