Very similar. They both seem to have a lot of “fun” while also taking their racing seriously. They also both started out rather “aggressive” but then were a bit more calculating all the while improving their pace relative to the field. A lot of people didn’t thing he would be able to adapt to the Yamaha, seems they are all pretty quiet now. Rea is on a different level when his heads right but Toprack just has so much grit and fight in him it’s hard not to like him. Not to mention his name reminds me of boobies.

 

Random fact. Both DePuniet are Rossi are MotoGP commentators on French TV. Gonna be awkward when one of them crashes the bike and ruins the race.

 

what

 

Wrong Rossi.

 

So who is Zook's test rider?

 

For GP, Sylvain Guintoli

 

Yosh just announced their motocross team lineup. Hopefully their MotoAmerica plans are announced soon, too.

 

Zarco has said he is signed to Avintia or so speedweek is reporting.

 

Zarco just signed with Avintia, but stated he signed with Ducati.

 

the speed of light.

With the announcement of Harley's AFT Super Twins plans. Rumors say Sammy Halbert will ride the Coolbeth/Nila Indian. No word yet on where Brandon Robinson will land.
The Roof Systems of Dallas team will run Dan Bromley and Brandon Price in Super Twins, on Indians. Expect announcements of who they are running in production twins and singles classes soon.

 

So, SGVRider…

 

Brob has a good ride.

 

Well he is at a minimum confident, guess we will see.

 

Zarco stating he would rather return to the intermediate class as Avintia is "not a top team".
"As I still doubted the skills of the Avintia team, I went to see my former head mechanic Massimo Branchini."
"Besides, I do not consider that I signed with Avintia, but with Ducati," he added.

Could he talk any more disparagingly about the team he just signed for? After seeing how he treated KTM they deserve what they get with Zarco.

 

Have you seen how they treated Abraham? I think they all deserve each other.

 

I hope so. He's a hell of a racer.

 

At this point, I hope Zarco somehow fucks them over royally.

 

The KTM's were looking pretty good in the last test with their new frames, would be nice if all four finish ahead of Zarco in every race
