The new season is about to begin in a few days. After thinking about it, Kuaikanjun decided to continue my part-time job - Kuaikan MotoGP, which is worthy of my hobbies. So the good news is Kuaikan MotoGP will continue to accompany everyone. The bad news is that I will still publish the article a few days after the game ends. There is no way, the brick-moving work is heavy... Next, don't talk about gossip, MotoGP in the 2018 season is very different from the previous seasons.
Different newcomers
First of all, the newcomers added fresh blood to the new season's MotoGP. There will be five newcomers in the 2018 season, including two Asians. Xavier Simeon, Thomas Luthi and Franco Morbidelli, who have successfully upgraded from Moto2, will start their MotoGP careers as rookies. Although they are rookies, Xavier Simeon and Thomas Luthi are not young after the "80s". Especially Luthi, who has been in Moto3 and Moto2 for many years, and has only entered MotoGP at the age of 32. In contrast, Italian rising star Franco Morbidelli entered MotoGP at the age of 24, with a bright future.

Compared with these three drivers who successfully upgraded to MotoGP by relying on their strength, the two Asians are much "lucky" to enter MotoGP. Of course, it does not mean that these two people do not have the strength, but it is just some objective factors that have promoted them to enter the top events. After many years, Japanese drivers have entered MotoGP again. Takaaki Nakagami (Middle-Shanghai Guijing) will represent the LCR Honda team in competition this year. The 26-year-old Mid-Shanghai Guijing can participate in MotoGP because of its outstanding strength among Japanese drivers. Another reason is that "money dad" Honda wants to add a quota to local drivers. It is impossible for the factory team, so he placed a seat in the satellite team. This time, Dad Cal finally has a teammate.

Another Asian driver is even more legendary, and it can be said that he is "lying" into MotoGP. Hafizh Syahrin, an "old gun" who has been living in Moto2 for many years, will not enter MotoGP in terms of strength, but God can't starve to death. Folger of Tech 3 suffers from hereditary liver disease and missed four games last season. The new season has not fully recovered, and those capable drivers already have contracts, so Hafizh Syahrin becomes that lucky person. In the new season, this 24-year-old will represent the Tech 3 team as a formal driver, which has also created MotoGP history. Malaysia, which has held MotoGP competitions for 20 consecutive years, finally welcomes the first GP group driver, and is still a formal worker. It is estimated that the boss of Tech 3 also understands that the new "financial dad" KTM will be coming next year, so I will sign a deal to save some money first.

"oil-electric hybrid" MotoGP
Dona has announced that the Super Electric Motorcycle World Cup will be held in 2019, which is MotoE. The event will be operated by Dorna, which currently operates MotoGP. Five races are planned to be held in 2019. MotoE will adopt a unified race method, and all teams use a unified racing competition to avoid excessive technical differences affecting the excitement of the race. There will be 18 racing cars participating in the competition. In order to promote the event and facilitate the competition, 14 racing cars will be assigned to MotoGP's satellite team, which means that the satellite team will increase drivers to participate in MotoE competitions, and the other 4 cars will be assigned to Moto2 and Moto3 teams. MotoE's schedule and meeting will be the same as MotoGP, with Friday practice competition, Saturday ranking, Sunday main competition, a total of 10 laps per game.
Although this event will be held next year, the car used for the competition has been selected and will be displayed and performed in some sub-stations this year, which means that MotoGP has entered the era of "oil-electric hybrid". Although it will not seize the limelight of MotoGP in recent years, Dona's plan ahead this time not only follows the development trend, but also plans for the future electric market. You should know that the electric four-round competition next door is quite mature, and many major manufacturers have expressed their desire to know about it, so Dona has paved the way for his future this time. I believe that in the next period of time, Donner met someone and said, “Let’s find out about the electric game MotoE."
"Sawadika" new track
This year, MotoGP will have 19 races, and the extra stop is the newly joined Thai station. In recent years, with the continued popularity of the Asian racing market, many events will set up more competitions in Asia, and MotoGP is no exception. When Dona sees the opportunity to make money, he will naturally not give up. Thailand has cultivated an international first-class international in Buriram. The track naturally has the fact that MotoGP is settled in Thailand.

New track is fair to everyone. In the previous test races, Yamaha and Ducati did not perform well in this track. Lorenzo ranked 10th, 10th and 22nd in the three tests respectively, which was simply a collapse , Dovi was not much better. Yamaha had big ups and downs, with Winnie ranked 11th, 4th and 12th respectively, and the results were like a roller coaster. Only Honda team took the lead, and Honda drivers won the first place in the three test races, among which , pp. won the third, 1st and 4th in three games, and their performance exceeded the many players. I believe that with these three test races, all drivers also know how the Thai station will run.

Finally, it was a bit of a mess. Rossi has not renewed his contract in the new season, but he said he would make a decision after looking at the competition situation in the new season. 2018 is the contract year for many drivers, such as Lorenzo, who has a high salary. If he does not have any results in the 2018 season, it will be a question where to make a fortune next season. Another newcomer Zach is considering whether to jump out of Tech or not. 3. Next year Tech 3. The satellite team of KTM has been renovated and become a KTM. The Frenchman, who is almost thirty years old, will seize the last glimmer of hope to enter a competitive factory team. If Rosie renews his contract, it is unknown whether Zach will wait for Yamaha’s call. Another factory team driver, Uni, also needs to make a fortune in the new season. Although Brother Chaos didn’t shovel much in the last season, no one can accept the decline in his performance. If Brother Chaos doesn’t cheer up, he can only drive a bulldozer in the future... Finally, I heard that CCTV has re-signed the broadcast rights of F1, so I begged the central government to sign MotoGP as well! ! !
