Don't know if anyone else caught it, but during WSBK Superpole the commentators were talking alot about Nicky moving to WSBK next year.

I'd like to see him at least have a chance at being competitive again.

I've been saying that he should move to WSBK for years. The diehard Nicky fans that will remain nameless continue to believe that he can be competitive in MotoGP.

I did, but it seemed like total speculation... until Ernie Marinelli went over and gave him a big hug.  I've been saying that he should move to WSBK for years. The diehard Nicky fans that will remain nameless continue to believe that he can be competitive in MotoGP.
He'll never be competitive in GP on that turd of a Honda.  |

I agree. Ducati should grab him. But I also feel he needs more time to develop. He has to run in moto2 at least one season. |

"....arrested by the Swiss authorities on charges of suspected corruption of a public official, and money laundering through sponsorship activities." He's confused, these are Swiss banking national pastimes. Also....Guy Martin's need for speed... http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/triumph-rocket-bonneville-racer-has-airplane-controls-1718345893 |

I would agree that his best path for his career would be to not skip Moto2, but Ducati needs to take a gamble on young talent at some point. Crazy Joe is showing that he's developing into a solid rider, but I don't think you can be compared to MM for example. If Kent moves to Moto2, the chances increase of losing Kent to Yamaha or HRC. Both manufacturers have some connection with Moto2 teams, which gives them a huge advantage when attracting the best talent. |

Kent rides a Honda.
You think HRC isn't already all over it?

Everyone in Moto3 rides either a Honda or a KTM. If he was riding for the Repsol team, then I would think that it was a lost cause. Ducati will have a chance to give him a decent ride and probably a boat load of money. I would bring him up to Pramac. |

I'm sure Honda has their eye on him. They're probably betting it will all work out. They'll have Pedrossa long enough to allow Kent to get some more experience and when Pedrossa retires, Kent will step right in.
SHOW ME THE MONEY! That seems to work to help getting people on board with your team. But Ducati would have to offer the factory ride. I don't think Honda would offer less.
