Debon to replace Lorenzo next year

Yeah they should put another overhyped aussie there, right?

The only stupid ... here is yourself welcome to my ignored list.
 
Debon is a solid rider, but i question if he is good enough to challenge for the title. He certainly couldn't hang with the top 3 this season, but assuming they all go up to motogp the level of riding in 250 will decrease slightly to something he can run with and maybe win at. The problem ultimately lies with the fact that Baustista (and maybe Kallio) will be too strong.

It's a futile task even trying to replace Lorenzo.

250s are DEAD!


250s supplied the first three riders in this years world championship, and they rule.

No Lorenzo. No De Angelis. No Dovizioso. Potentially being scrapped for 600s.

250s are DEAD!


The only thing threatening to kill the 250's in the short term is Hondas lack of input, but i think KTM make up for it
 
True, KTM are awesome in the lower classes, I just don't see where the quality riders will come from.

Randy Krummenacher is mighty impressive though.

Like I care what an Italian thinks! I'm saddened to have made your 'ignore list', I guess I should watch what I write in case you don't agree.

Thanks for a wonderful and insightful response as to why a 32 year old (08 season start) gets a factory Aprilia ride after achieving jack ..... Im wondering if it had anything to do with the fact he's Spanish. Difficult to accept that maybe a 'solid' if not unspectacular rider got the best seat in the class because of his nationality. Never happened before.

You don't agree with this post so I guess you won't be reading it anyway. Might want to learn flags of the world before you start slagging people off.

arrivederci
 
Put Aaron Slight on it! No, wait, the king of Dunlops? Simon Crafar! Yessss! Theyd be better than Debon

No way 250's are 'dead'. Sure, Dovi, Lorenzo and de Angelis will all be going but it will give someone else a chance. Bautista will be the dominator in the class, with Kallio and Luthi also strong riders, plus the movers up from 125. Ok, so 125 doesn't have as much talent as it previously had... but there are lots of hidden riders there who haven't been given a chance. I think that Krummernacher and Esteve Rabat look pretty promising, plus Bradley
<
I'd love to say Pasini too... but he's not strong enough to handle a 250.

Debon would be a stupid replacement. He's a good fill-in rider, but to have the bike full time would be silly. Give it to someone like Luthi.

Thats the stupid age rule ruining it

Ok ok I take it back, lmao!

One qualifying session doesn't mean anything... its a start to winning over the crowd though.
