Looks like Bautista is looking for a ride too. Hopefully they both find decent rides. Can’t see Sykes in Moto a. Wonder why it’s mentioned?

Moto A needs some new blood. Tony helped but it 's kind of stalled.

Bummer for Sykes, hard to play second fiddle and the crash between the two broke the camels back so to speak.

Guess I'm outta the loop, what is Moto A? Dry

I don’t see how we are ever going to get a American into MotoGP. We will be lucky to have one in WSBK next year. Is there any American that has a shot at Moto3 or Moto2?

Joe Roberts was doing Moto2 but not sure if he still is. Gange and Jacobsen aren't exactly setting WSBK on fire.

Yea he is, he has only scored 2 points all year. I’m thought someone said that team is like a test team or I read it somewhere.

Better off sticking to dirt track. At least he can beat Marquez in that. Jake and PJ are trying their best on uncompetitive Hondas. Jonathan Rea struggled with those Hondas for years and managed to win a few races through sheer force of will. I had high hopes for the new Hondas before Nicky died. I was interested to see what he could do for their development. He had already shown on the old bikes that he could run in the top five on a good day much like Rea had. What a shame.

Would love to see JD over there but Gerlof was better than JD last year. I was hoping Gerlof would get a ride over there for this year but he took the spot next to Cameron.

I'd think Cameron would be next in line of the Yamaha guys to head over there... then maybe JD will move into his spot with Gerloff. Both Cameron and JD raced the MotoGP rookies cup though with cameron winning the championship and JD doing quite well so maybe with their experience on those tracks they'd both do well. And I suspect Gagne will be back and probably do pretty well here with more experience... hopefully! Herrin attempted Moto2 a few years back after winning his SB title and it did not go well... I'm glad to see him gaining ground again here though!

Gagne in 6th in second session. Within a second of Rea. Pretty impressive, hope he keeps his ride.

Actually JD won the 2008 RedBull Rookies Cup over Luis Salom.

BTW Today is JD’s Birthday

Threw it away today, too bad he was doing good.
