Marc Marquez used to say, often in fact, that Alex was/is faster than himself.
He does not say that these days.
Alex was not the best rider on the Moto2 grid this year. As has been suggested, if the KTM had started the year as it finished, I would put my money on Binder (a bit obvious really), Martin and even Lecuona being a head of him.
I wonder if we will see a U-turn by KTM around Moto2??? That would be cool if they did stay.
I wonder what happens to those bikes now?
Why not lease/sell them to a couple of teams and allow them to develop them?
Not KTMs style perhaps.
Can Oncu has signed a deal to race with Sofuoglu set-up Turkish team. Good on him, but that is the end of his GP career, for sure.
The photo posted of him next to Martin and Binder (?? I could not make out the third rider) shows that he is the same size as those guys so makes Moto3 a difficult proposition.
Deniz is way more the right size. So odd that they are twins, yet so different, even if di-zygotic.
My picks for 2020 (and I picked them all for 2019 bar MotoE):
MotoE: Smith B
Moto3: Vietti C with Suzuki close behind
Moto2: DiGiannantonio/Fernandez A (on the fence there)
MotoGP: Marquez M with Quatararo F close behind
