We’ll there’s no doubt he’s a good rider. At that level they are all exceptional. That aside, the pecking order is a bit weird regardless of contracts. If he has a contact with Yamaha Corp, put him in motoamerica, move Jake to WSBK and Toprak to GP. All in the Yamaha family. I just don’t see regardless of a contract moving a guy to the top class when there are certainly more qualified riders.
LOL well in this particular case, he’s taking VR spot so I’m guessing bringing money and a fan base to the team is “not” a consideration in this particular decision.mid it’s anything at all like Formula 1 there are other considerations, like the sponsorships that the individual rider brings to the team, which happens in F1 a lot.
In fact one of the BIGGEST considerations on who gets a seat in F1 is how much money the driver brings with them to the team.
When you put it that way its seems even more ridiculous, look at Fabio he was lightning fast as a kid then lost it in Moto 3 after an accident and then in Moto 2 he came back briefly but that raw talent was always there. With some good management he's now the MotoGP champ, DB does not appear to have that ability hidden away. Sure he is a world class rider but there are far better options for VR's seat.LOL well in this particular case, he’s taking VR spot so I’m guessing bringing money and a fan base to the team is “not” a consideration in this particular decision.
