Racing Silly Season - Who's Going Where For 2017?
Discussion
'Tis that time of year again so I thought I'd start a new one of these.
I thought Sam Lowes to Aprilia was a done deal but commentary on today's Brno GP suggest talks are still in progress?
As for Danny Kent to MotoGP or Moto2 - get on that Ducati mate! Moto2 is fast becoming a cul de sac I think.

That just leaves a question around Redding who has seriously underachieved given the kit he is on.
3 Brits in the premier class is slightly reminiscent of mid to late nineties 500 era when Sean Emmett, Niall McKenzie, John Reynolds et al were racing privateer Harris Yamahas and such. They didn't really get into the top 10 back then though.
If I recall my fast bikes mags from back then, Neil Hodgson was racing a very pink privateer 125 as a spotty teen.

Two year for Cal is outstanding, I just hope he can stay on. Redding? Got the talent, got the bike, but hasn't the team with experience or any data in motoGP. I really hope he can hang on to the seat for next year and prove himself as when he's elbow to elbow with someone he's awesome to watch.

so Redding is at Pramac. Just so hope it's a right move as it's only a 1+1 year deal. What now for Kent?
Tito to Marc VDS in motogp for next year.Wouldn't be surprised for Kent to go to Marc VDS in Moto2 IMO.
The lowes-aprillia deal seems to have ground to a halt.

No he's signed with Honda, LCR might not have 2 bikes next year if so Honda will place Miller at another Honda team, most likely Aspar who need the money.
Ah right, nice position for honda to be in having miller/kent bubbling under ready to replace pedrosa when he retires.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
