    Breaking news: Bastianini to replace Miller at Ducati Lenovo Team.
    Martin and Zarco confirmed at Pramac Ducati Team.

    I so hope Gardner gets another go at MotoGP. I think he deserves it.
    Oliviera should take up the RNF Aprilia opportunity.

    From Crash.net, it seems that Marquez has set a limit.

    Tech3 GasGas still to announce second rider. I can't believe Gardner is not being considered, or has already been told no.
    Why would anyone take another rider over the world champion, unless it is due to the chequebook?

    no big lira or paseo Spanish or Itailan sponsors.
    As well as talent as rear wheel steerers,Aussies and yank riders brought in mondo tobacco sponsor dollars in the 90's.
    These days the moneys with the Spaniards.
    plus even though hes a moto 2 champ took him 6 years in moto 2 to win it.

    Gardner snr basically funded himself in esp after Hondas Britain collapsed.
    He did it on talent and determination by beating all the top contenders.

    Remy Gardner has been told he was not professional enough. That seems a bit odd. You’d think somebody might have mentioned that to him before the axe fell.

    He did make some pretty bad comments about the bike over the year... Personally I wouldn't drop him over the other Fernandez but... This is the team that arsehole Iker for no apparent reason.

    Surprised Dorna didn't step in to keep the diversity on the grid more intact... $$$$$$$$$$$$

    Remy was in Moto2 a while its true, never on a decent bike though until his title year IIRC, once he got on a good bike he was good to go. Most of these "Rookie sensations" are only able to be rookie sensations as they have the backing to get a good bike. Yes they have to perform, but they also have a huge team behind them that others might not have.

    Feel for Remy especially being dropped when most of the other contracts for next year have been signed by now.
    Bit bloody slack of KTM


    Better Free vid of MM you off the the GP site.
    Don't often see him fang an ordinary bike.
    Bloody hell at 1:19 - 1:21 the way he forces it over Respect
