Honder might place him at LCR and Ducati might need someone if Dovi bailed or they could shuffle around riders at Pramac and Avintia. Didn't say I believed it or it made sense but it is motogp and a lot of shit going on there anymore doesn't make sense to me.
And this is one of the reasons I don’t follow formula 1. All the confusing shit of MotoGP dialed up to 11
F1 is harder for me to follow. Too many buy a ride racers while very good or even great racers get pushed out. Racers leave, come back and now, teams on the edge of falling out or being sold. Russian and sheik money, bad sponsors that a basic due diligence would smoke out and con men. Shit, it was run by a 90 year old midget in a Warhol wig for decades. I write some weird and borderline crazy shit here on the BBS from time to time to make myself laugh but even I couldn't write the F1 story for the last decade and a half.
Well that too. I do enjoy qualifying. It’s more exciting than the racing. But like Dave said, the politics and crazy behind the scenes shit of it all is mind boggling.
Rumors are swirling that Jorge Martin has signed a contract directly with Ducati Corse to replace Jack Miller at Pramac in 2021. Articles are mentioning that it won't be confirmed for another few weeks due to his current contract with KTM, but it is a done deal.
Aren't all the riders on the Ducatis signed directly with Ducati except for Rabat? Rabat has his deal directly with Avintia.
Yeap, the riders are signed directly to Ducati except for Rabat. Sounds like Jorge Martin is signed with Ducati for 2021. https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/938347/1/jorge-martin-set-ducati-motogp-seat Some good tidbits in there.
I met him at Colin’s boot camp. That dude is serious as a heart attack about riding. The other moto 3 riders were in the vibe of the boot camp fun, but he was approaching it like work. edit - never mind. Wrong Jorge.
