Its news to Great Britain because they have not any motorcycling world champions since Barry Sheen . Scott Redding could have been Moto2 champ a few seasons back.
I am not counting any Superbike champions because the competition tends to be inferior.
Its good for Britain because they are up against Spain, Italy and Japan who put more funding into motorcycling. For the first time in ages I'd say Britain for the first time have a pool of top quality riders that can mix it with the best

It's currently 2016. Might that explain why?

Incubus I was asking that seeing Lorenzo looks like he is at his peak but a crash in the last race and his two other challengers took advantage
I missed the last race where the Ducatis took each other out and two podiums
Now there is talk where Stoner will race or even Lorenzo moving to Ducati?
As for the Brits.. Bradley Smith has got himself a factory ride and lets hope its not a dud. Cal Crutchlow has had two retirements and is finding the Honda a handful

Well everyone in the paddock seems to think the signing of Vinales is a formality.
Besides quite frankly it doesn't matter whether he proves any good at Yamaha. I mean, come on! His name is Maverik Vinales.
MAVERIK!!!
VINALES!!!!
With aname like that he just HAS to get a top ride!

Bill Boddy Wishful thinking I see although I see your logic that the Spanish sponsors want a Spanish rider within that team.. they are more likely to go for Pedrosa
Incubus I think Vinales will get it given how he is blowing Alex Espargaro in the Suzuki. Pol Espargaro might be now finally showing us some of his abilities but I think he' s rooted to Tech 3 Yamaha until another team wants a Spanish rider

Are you sure Cal could get promoted to the Works Team because he's had 4 crashes in 5 races . I don't know if that is down to the bike where he's having to over compensate this or he's simply not riding well
I tell you who might be after Cal's ride would be possibly Dovioszo who has ridden Honda's and Iannone as one has to make way for Jorge
It would be great achievement if Sam Lowes can win the Moto2 crown but he is certainly improved a lot. Does he not have a contract for a ride with Gresini Moto GP in 2017?

I am sorry but Dovi is a journeyman..he was Lorenzo's old 250cc rival and started out in Moto GP at the same time but Jorge is a class above him
Dovi gets the factory rides but he has not delivered the results..and Iannone should be the one staying
----------
Pedrosa will probably never be champ since Marquez is on the other bike and the years of taking falls is probably catch up with him but he stays at Honda because its heavily backed by Repsol and got sponsors from Red Bull !
Cal has not done enough to warrant a promotion
At Yamaha its probably Vinales rather than P Espargaro seems to be the talk

Rossi v Vinales could be worth watching.
It's the "succession plan" that I've been hoping for, final WC for Valentino followed by swansong year as mentor to Maveric before a switch to F1 where he supports JB to WDC at Williams in '18 & '19 before taking the title himself in 2020.
