Yeah, I was like "WAAAT?"
He probably thinks Marquez is a fuck, just like the rest of the field.
Probably riding for an official team gives him the confidence to be able in the future to punt the cunt out of the track, instead of having to play second fiddle to him by contract.
Yeah but not on a KTM.
If he stuck to Yamaha and showed good speed and added a dose of consistency he’d be a realistic chance to replace Rossi*, then he’d have a shot.
*on this note, maybe Yamaha knows something we don’t and they already have a rider earmarked to come through the ranks, perhaps an alumnus from the VR46 Moto3 team…
DesmoDovi rejected the first offer from Ducati.
KTM official team in 2019: Johann Zarco and Pol Espargaro. Satellite team KTM Tech3 (saying goobye to Yamaha and starting a new adventure as the austrian maker satellite team) has officially signed Miguel Oliveira, coming from Moto 2. Yet no news about who will be his teammate.
Meanwhile Marquez reckons either Pedrosa is going to renew or Dovizioso could be back at Honda.
Lorenzo awaits Suzuki to decide. The blue team has shut down ideas of a satellite team, meanwhile, and Iannone latest form is giving them doubts, although Iannone could be back at Ducati again in a interesting switch with the spaniard.
It would be damned wild to see ianonne on the Ducati again, but after his last season with Ducati, I'm a bit timid.
Meanwhile in today race... "What were you thinking???" applies.
It was exciting there for a while. Feel sorry for Pedrobot.
