SEAN DYLAN KELLY TO MOTO2 FOR 2022 AND 2023

So looks like SDK is off to Europe, heard Gagne in at Attack, Westby stays the same. Any other rumors or rider signing for next year?

I think this is a better move for SDK then it was for Cam.

 

good luck to SDK

 

We have an entire thread for this and this info is in there to, since Saturday

Someone asked on FB is his dad is going to be out there throwing Perrier now.

 

crap i did a search also before i posted it

 

Do we have a MA silly season thread?

 

only a 2020-21 thread

 

He's in for a rude awakening in Moto2. Hopefully his ego can handle getting his ass handed to him over there

 

Nothing against the guy and I hope he kills it in Europe, but I really couldn't take another year of Greg and Jason saying "SDK" a million times each race day.

 

This.

 

Will he be at the front no.
Tracks to learn (ALL)
Stiffer chassis to adapt too. This will be interesting as I have no guess on his pace of learning, I suspect high.
More fast people to compete with
Qualifying, I think he will be better at this than Cameron as he seems to come out of the gate fast in races and qualify well.
Different engine characteristics and more electronics, the electronics will be his challenge I think
Team, American Racing is gaining experience and improving. Not a top tier but much closer than in the past IMO.
Other, like the transition in culture. Hard to say as this always varies.

 

I gotta imagine that American Racing knows it takes years to get an American from outside the GP paddock to respectable finishes in Moto2. He's signed for 2 years but I won't be surprised if he's re-signed even without scoring well.

 

No different than hearing The Doctor, or Desmo Dovi, etc. And I never say his name, only SDK. Time is money and that takes too long

 

I hope most of you realize Sean raced in the 2018 Redbull rookies cup so it's not his first time on tracks in Europe. Glad he's getting the opportunity to race on the international level again.

 

I admire the confidence with which you pull facts out of your ass without even checking.

 

2 years in Moto 2 is like going to Vietnam for 2 years in the late 60s

 

Did not bother but OK the majority right. Frickin' anal retentive buzzards always hassling the free range sheep. Oh and isn't there supposed to be a comma after ass in English?

 

SDK has raced at roughly 1/2 of the tracks the GP circus uses and likely has seat time on others from testing. As Robby Bobby says all the time - a professional learning new tracks needs next to no time to get up to speed - Ben Spies proved that in '09.

...and no, there isn't.

 

You are now 0-2. Keep digging.

 

Not necessarily, but a coma there would slightly change the meaning of the original sentence.
As it is written it means that you have confidence in all facts you pull out of your ass including those you pulled without checking. If there is a comma, it would mean that you have confidence in only the facts you pull out of your as without checking. A subtle difference, but it might be significant to the HPPT.
