Suzi Perry in pigtails. Well, one anyway. 
That is all.
Is that not called a ponytail?That is all.
I prefer to imagine the pigtails.
Fantastic result for BiB 41 even despite the skittles going on behind him... and on his birthday.
I hope he does well in the top tier and can move on to a top tier bike after a couple of seasons .
KTM definitely pulling out of the intermediate class at the end of this year which is a shame although understandable.
But while the M3 class makes sense with the RC390 range what does KTM's participation in the top class bring??? No apparent equivalent halo bike available to the public.....

Brad's a class act, his defensive riding is incredible, best rider in the class imo, shame this years KTM is not up to mounting a championship run.I hope he does well in the top tier and can move on to a top tier bike after a couple of seasons .

Not sure what to make of the announcement but if I was Aprilia and Suzuki I'd be worried.
Brad Binder is listed as going to Tech 3 KTM next year but the rumours are that Zarco is out of the factory team, possibly to World Superbike. If so unless they move Oliviera up to the main team who else is there in the KTM family. They can't jump Binder over Oliviera for the sake of morale, then it leaves another gap since Syahrin is out too.

If you look at the stepped progress of Olivera and Brad I think you are right. Speaking to Brad a while back he quietly acknowledged his status behind Olivera in the M3 team and as one moved up the lead rider mantle was passed along.
But Brad is a class act and today's ride shows what he's capable of with even a mediocre bike to work with.
I would expect a couple of years in the Tech 3 garage before either moving to the full factory squad or to another team.
But KTM adores BiB so let's see what happens in the big leagues
