But who has the money to move up and take those slots? I remember Dorna does not pay your lease fees until year two of you being on the grid.
We still have M4 Suzuki and Buildbase Suzuki in BSB. Stop pissing money away in MotoGP and focus on the domestic teams. Getting smoked by Aprilia is annoying and I'd rather not see it for another season tbh. Just go.
What about the interview where Bobby Fong said the M4 had a smaller budget this year and if Bobby won a race he wouldn't be able to expect a bonus thus Bobby not riding in SBK and getting a job with Astars. If they can pump some money back into MA with M4 that would be great because Attack and Ducati both need someone in the mix every weekend and based on every season since Yoshimura left those shoes are unfilled by M4
Sad day. Again. I was hoping with their new CEO a couple of years ago that they'd step up more. Especially, after winning the GP title. However, even with bringing Monster on-board (which is still odd to me after their worldwide deal with Yamaha) they've been teetering on shutting down all their racing programs for a couple years. Hell, the JGRMX deal was going to be funded mostly by their marine division if they kept the team going.
Dovi and Vinales. The rookies don't get paid shit anyways. Sucks more for the Moto2 riders that were looking to level up.
I've been getting a lot of 2008 vibes the past few months from the auto tooling industry. I'm hoping this isn't the canary in the coal mine.....
odds are Aprilia gets a satellite team and its a solid chance Marc VDS comes back to Motogp to run it
