Jorge has about as much personality as a toilet brush! And that's his public persona!!!!

 

Can he ride a bike? Hell yes! Is anyone disputing that! Fek no!

 

Does he do anything to actually engage with fans and followers of motoGP???

 

Why is he or any of his supporters surprised that he gets booed when he comes across as this much of a tonsil!

 

Most people will respect his riding ability but not his character...

You're gonna tell me it's Jorge, aren't you?

Oh goodie! Somebody likable to support!

So Vinales to Yamaha, Lorenzo to Ducati, Pedrosa stays for another 2 years and Ducati chooses Dovizioso to partner Lorenzo in 2017.

So pretty much as expected. Wish Ducati had thought out the box and given Petrucci the factory ride.

So Iannone to Aprilia??

Who fills the last factory Suzuki and Ktm slots?

KTM have been speaking to one Brad Binder ....

Not sure if it is for 2017 or 2018 ....

Looking good for our boy .

Wonder why KTM don't compete in MotoGP top level. Any ideas?

If binder comes on a ktm in 2017... ☺ ☺

Iannone to Suzuki

I don't think Binder is ready yet. It's a huuge jump from GP3 to GP. Just look at how Jack Miller is struggling after doing so o well at GP3 level.

Give the young fella some time - say another 3 years - to come up through the levels and he'll be there I reckon.

How bloody pathetic is this. It's time for Rossi to stand up and talk to his maniacs fans.

Well I think here's our answer:

 

Crash.net: 

You had a chance to test Zarco's Moto2 machine at Valencia last year. What were your impressions? 

 

Brad Binder: 

It wasn't really a test. I made a deal with my crew chief Massimo because he was his [Zarco's] crew chief as well. He said that if I got three podiums I could test Johann's bike… well test, more like I could take a spin on his bike! I don't know why, but for some reason I'm obsessed with Moto2. I'm so keen to ride there. I wanted to see what it was like. So thanks to Massimo and Aki for letting me do that. It was flippin' cool. I can't wait to get there. 

 

Crash.net: 

Is moving to Moto2 with Aki's team the next logical step? 

 

Brad Binder: 

Obviously I'm not too worried about 2017. I've got my manager who is going to sort that out. He's a bit of a legend so we'll be alright. Personally I'd love to [go to Moto2 with the Ajo team]. Obviously I have such a good relationship with the team and I love how everything works here. All the guys in Moto2 and Moto3, we're all friends. We get on so well together. I think it'd be so much easier if I could stay here. The only thing it would change would be the garage and the bike. I think it would make the step easier because you're already relaxed in your own environment. But, you know, I haven't got that option yet so we'll see. We'll have to speak to the boss!
