Stefan Bradl to leave MotoGP

http://m.crash.net/motogp/news/232388/1/stefan-bradl-confirms-motogp-exit.html

 

Kind of expected this, he was one of the only riders to not have an offer before the break.

 

Well, hope he gets a competitive ride in WSBK...

What are the salary differences between WSBK and GP riders? Not just top guys but say mid level guys.

 

Good question. I'm sure this info is available on the internet somewhere. I saw a salary comparison of the top MotoGP riders once, Rossi topped the list but it also included his side ventures.

 

Look at Entry 5 - Interesting lineup there.....

 

Yes I saw that. I think its PJ's first.

 

Well it looks like MM will be going to WSBK next year!

Yep, Marco Melandri will be taking Davide's spot to join Chaz over at Ducati. See what I did there :wink:

 

You got me there bub, I'm like NO WAY....oh

Musashi fails to finish the 8 Hour for the second year in a row due to technical issues.....prolly an RR failure....hahahahahahahaha, JK

 

Well Honda.... 8th, 9th and 10th.

Ba-dum-tiss :drum:

 

Didn't expect this though...Bradl to replace Michael van der Mark at Ten Kate Honda!

Bradl Joins Hayden at Honda for 2017

 

WHY?????

Only thing I can think of is that Bradl was on a Honda for some time in MotoGP and in Moto2 technically. Who knows maybe Honda is planning on bringing forth their V4 CBR replacement and who better to ride them that two ex-MotoGP riders with experience riding V4 race bikes....(I can dream can't I?)

 

Sure hope Hondas got sumthin up there sleeves for next year... Seeing motog2 is not using there 600rr motors.... You can dream and I'm hoping....

Bradl hinted at it recently in an interview for a German publication. Van Der Mark was upset with the level of machinery being provided by Honda, and when the new Fireblade ended up being the same Fireblade with little changes.....he knew it was time to go. Jonathan Rea was smart to leave when he did.
