Frankie has had a long enough innings at Yamaha IMO. He should count himself lucky if Bez gets called up to a higher level Ducati squad and leaves him a VR46 seat.
Personally I think both him and Taka should leave the category to make way for younger blood...

Taka has been mediocre since forever. He had the one chance at Aragon and fluffed it. So who is moving to LCR?
DiGi out and Morbidelli in ??

By logic, Augusto Fernandez should go to LCR, especially given that Pol is saying that he's going racing next year (but let's see how he goes the rest of this season).
There does seem to be a bit of noise about Lecuona going back to GPs though.

Why do DORNA want to keep the grids slots at 22 places? If a factory like KTM is capable of producing another couple of bikes and supporting a new team who is financially viable, I can't see why they don't want to go back up to 24 grid slots? There are more than enough talented riders available to fill those seats!

Zarco to LCR for 3 years? If I'm hearing correctly. I'm guessing Honda hope someone can fill them in on the Ducati secrets.

I think Honda are just shitting themselves that nobody wants to race their bikes! Offer a big wad of cash though and someone will accept...
Lots of noise here that the door is open for Marc to go to Pramac now. Can't see it myself, more likely that Mir goes to fill Zarco's seat I reckon.
KTM officially had their request for a 5th bike rejected by Dorna on Friday so now they seem to admit that either Pol or Fernandez will have to be a test rider but with potentially up to 6 wild card rides. Someone's gonna be pissed off. I wonder if Fernandez might still be trying to find an alternative, nobody expects Taka to stay at LCR surely?

Are Dorna trying to fuck Motogp or what?

Tar'bolino to stay in Moto2. Id like to think that if that was his fate then Jake Dixon won't get a MotoGP ride.

'Interesting' Maybe both parties recognise that with Pedro exiting, a title is much more possible seeing as how it is going well and they know each inside out. It sounded like he was off. |

What are Dorna doing? I don't get it www.crash.net/motogp/news/1034463/1/solution-offered-ktm-despite-bid-fifth-bike-being-bluntly-rejectedSo Suzuki leave...but KTM can't fill the gap due to some shit about team 'value'...sound like F1 bullshit. Ducati also allowed 4 teams....huh? Dorna are idiots. I'm also starting to wonder if Honda and Yamaha are twisting arms behind the scenes and threatening to leave if they marginalised any more but european efforts. Also sounds like someone is going to be sidelined to allow Acosta to race. |
