Just a question... where does he go after he fails on the Duc... George that is.

Not to Yamaha or HRC. He would need to look at KTM, Suzuki or Aprilia. He's never been the type to develop a bike. He was lucky to get promoted to Yamaha after it was developed into the most balance bike on the grid. I presume at this point the Suk would be his best fit for his style. KTM will have the money, but it's still at least 2 years from being consistently competitive.

Bradley may have to swap seats with Kallio:

I'm pretty sure contracts don't allow for that. They might be able to give Kallio his own factory ride and then create a satellite for Smith, but doubtful.

Of all the candidates...Morbidelli, and Luhti, deserve rides.

Luthi is unattractive because of his age, but the guy can ride.

No doubt having the right passport and financial backers counts for much.

+1

That decision was based on sponsorship and not on merit.

Morbidelli has been dominating the whole season, so it was a no brainer for him to jump on Jackass' old ride. Luhti seems to have been in Moto2 forever. I feel bad for the guy since he has been very consistent throughout his carrier, similar to Dovi.

That's a good thing. He deserves it.
