2021 MotoAmerica Silly Season

If it's true, and he's on the same team as Roberts is then he has a good shot at being successful

 

Interesting. It's the first I'm hearing of this. Honestly I think Moto 2 might not be the best idea (seeing that he's been on big bikes for a long time) and Moto 2 is a meat grinder that's all about your resources. Sucks he couldn't get a World SBK Yamaha. Maybe he can bring funding to Ten Kate for them to field two bikes?

 

I read over the weekend that Joe was going to another team and that his current team was running out of money and may not even finish this season? That article states the team is having financial problems, seems odd that Cam would go to a team that is already having money problems.

 

Unless Cam is bringing money to inject. Based off of his interviews it seems counter intuitive but who knows. I just don't get Moto 2, if it was the big show I could see it but Moto2! weirddddddddddd

 

I thought the talk about Cam going over to moto2 was just bullshit talk. Speedweek is reporting it as happening with Joe going to Italtrans.

Weird if Cam goes to moto2 instead of WSBK but there are not a lot of good rides left there.

 

I think that the Cam to WSBK idea fell apart as soon as Loca-titties got the Pata Ride. Unless Stanboli runs an Attack variant in WSBK, I see Boobie-yer staying in MA with Zanetti/HSBK giving him a run.

I hope they run Indy next year. It was by far the most entertaining weekend so far.

 

Got to wonder IF Cam goes over to moto2 if some Monster money goes with him for 'merican racing? They could use some cash even if they have punched way above their budget this year.

You can read that?

 

ja du kannst nicht?

Yup. Herrin got to be sitting there shaking his head right now.

I'm not worried about Cams ability. I'm worried about the team he ends up at. Seems there is plenty of half baked teams on the Moto2 grid that are a round or two from going broke.

 

Damn, Cyclenews "print" edition for this week is confirming that Roberts is going to Italtrans.

Didn't know that Roberto Pietri was the manager there. Pretty cool.

 

One of the main reasons I’ve been watching the Jr. Cup races more than the others. Hoping these kids can take it to the next level. Really hoping Rocco can get there.

 

That's why you go when you're young enough that you can afford a bad year or two on a shit team and still recover at an age when someone still wants to take a chance on you.

 

Bas is going to Moto Gp on a Duc so the seat is open.

 

I'm surprised nobody is asking the important questions here; if Beaubier is confirmed for Moto2 next year, who gets his Superbike? I'd assume that news would all but guarantee Jake's retention. Scholtz definitely has the pace, but I think him and the Westby boys have a great thing going so I don't think he should leave unless the check is just that much bigger. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for these meetings between Attack and Yamaha USA!

 

I know its been mentioned already but Stanboli has seemed less than thrilled with Gagne in his podcast, but I also don't think the decision is his since the rider's are being paid by Yamaha. I think he deserves one more year to get things sorted out.
