How long will it take HRC to offer a contract to Zarco?

They're probably writing a 1 year deal as we opine. Grin

I figured he'd never get a handle on the Honda, but I did not expect this outcome.

I don't think we've seen the last of Lorenzo. Great news for Zarco though.

Interesting talk in the pre press conference show with Matt Birt, and the bubble head.

They mentioned 4 riders who might possibly replace George. Three are no brainers...Crutchlow, Nakagami, and Zarco. The fourth...?

A certain Moto 2 champion named Marquez.

...and we thought silly season was over.

They were seriously discussing Alex as Jorge's replacement?

I see that as a colossal strategic error, but I put nothing past Puig in that department.

Matt was saying his name keeps coming up.

Who knows?

I think it’s a negotiation tactic to bring in AM. HRC wants to retain MM forever, learning their mistake from losing Rossi. Putting MM and AM on the same team basically provides HRC another bargaining chip. To me it makes perfect sense.

Thought Marquez was already under contract for Moto2 next year.

Contracts can be purchased. If Honda wants him they'll do what it takes.
