MotoGP | 2023 | Silly Season

And Moto3 and Moto2 championships too. As much as he gets ragged on, you don't just stumble your way into those.

Maybe Dorna helps finance an American into the RNF squad? A guy can dream right?

 

Unfortunately, everytime Simon reports on it, it seems Canet's "image" may keep him out of the big show, despite his talent.

 

Rins to LCR all but official, just missing signatures…

Does anyone think R. Fernandez goes back to Moto2. Seems I remember him wanting to stay in Moto2 to try for a title win, but was pretty much forced up.

 

Rumours are he'll be on the second RNF Aprilia

 

Henry, what’s the context of that twatter post? ART looking at bringing someone new in?

 

yes, it was announced during the weekend American Racing is fielding Rory Skinner for two wildcards this season. It wasn't clear what the details were, as I thought they were ultimately trying to get him on ART, but it seems they are not and just giving him a platform to secure a different seat.

 

Maybe Cam B can go to the ItalTrans team, bring Rory in and run SDK.

 

No way are they running two Americans, so why would they fire Joe and put Cam in that seat? I sure wouldn't.

 

Maybe Dela Porta walks?

I don't see how Gardner possibly keeps his ride. His (KTM) boss wants him gone about just as much as Fernandez.

 

Didn't realize it was going that badly for him with his bosses?

 

Meaning the boss at the Moto2 squad? Or the KTM Head Boss guy?

 

Beirer threw both of them under the bus in an interview a few weeks ago. And I do know for a fact that Gardner's manager approached WSBK teams at least as far back as Le Mans.

@tzrider
Heard on this past weekend's broadcast that Darryn Binder was out and potentially going to SBK.

 

To bad, I think he has earned a stay of execution… Assen not withstanding.

 

It doesnt seem like there is a lot of options available in M2, granted the M2 rider market isnt as open as the MotoGP market is… meaning journalist aren't reporting all the hot gossip.

I took a look at the M2 standings, and American Racing is 11th in the team standings with 43 pts and Cam 15th in rider standings with 40 pts having DNF in 5/10 races.

Imo, Cam needs to sucks up the 1-lap troubles that maybe team related, and focus on knowing when to stop pushing and take the pts. (He’s crashed out of a lot of more than respectable finishes.) Then a top tier M2 ride seems possible, but then again, maybe American Racing would look like a top tier M2 ride…
