Because 2018 is right now and no longer silly. So right now we have: VR46, MM93 and MV25 two more years. Bagnia (sp?) from Moto 2 going to Pramac Ducati Tech 3 going to KTM Zarco linked to KTM Suzuki hunting Lorenzo Dovi turned down Ducati's first offer Petrux gunning for factory Ducati seat What else?
Before MarcVDS and Suzuki rumor I thought Alex M would replace Luthi, but I'm not so sure (if MarcVDS signs with Suzuki).
I'd kinda like to see J Lo on the Suzuki. I'm not a huge fan of his, mostly because of his attitude, but he was amazing to watch on the Yamaha when he was on. I think he could gel with that bike and be a threat.
As good as Marquez is nobody is as good as J Lo when he was turning identical lap times like a metronome. I've never seen his equal in that regard. It was not human.
Lol ducati is in a pickle... They know the only person winning is AD currently. I don’t see Lorenzo and then going another year unless something drastic happens. So my guess is Ducati offers Dovi a huge raise and they elevate Miller to factory provided he keeps doing well. Unless they do a direct swap with AI and Suzuki which I would also love!
....or Petrux, he's Italian and been on the Duc for longer. I mean they're already giving him the GP18 and Miller is on last year's GP17
I see Miguel and binder staying orange for a while. That’s the whole point of Ktm in all classes. They have ALL their cards on those 2
I read it but can't find where Yamaha did the official announcement where he signed. Yeah, it'll happen but strange shit can happen until he does.
It would be interesting to see an all Spanish team and the brother link would be a first BUT what a bad business decision....True the instant visibility would be huge but so would the hate. I think Honda would be afraid.
