While the 2020 MotoGP season has been 'fantastic' to date, Casey Stoner feels that calling it a world championship is 'difficult'.

Onlookers, fellow competitors and team-mates are increasingly drawing a link between Dani Pedrosa's arrival at KTM and the RC16 taking the final step to become a MotoGP race-winning package.

KTM has made a big leap up the timesheets in MotoGP this season, already celebrating its first race wins and dry podiums during the five rounds so far.

Seeing the same riders on the podium each weekend isn't a complaint that can be levelled at the 2020 MotoGP season so far. Of the five races to date, no rider has stood on the rostrum more than twice.

KTM's debut MotoGP win last time at Brno leaves Aprilia as the only manufacturer on the current grid not to have tasted victory with its present machine.

Johann Zarco may have still celebrated his first MotoGP podium for Ducati, and the first ever for the Avintia team, but Ducati Sporting director Paolo Ciabatti believes the Frenchman's long lap penalty was 'totally wrong'.
