Could Superbike be MotoGP’s reserve this year more than ever? We saw that we went to get an Alex Lowes from Yamaha to take him out of his R1 and put him on the M1 of an operated and convalescing Bradley Smith. In a week in Aragon, Honda could well follow the same approach.

In the case of the winged coat of arms, it is a question of preparing for a new package from its pilot Jack Miller. Hit in one hand and one wrist, the Australian had to throw in the towel when it came time to line up for the San Marino Grand Prix. Apparently, the same could be true for the Aragon stage next weekend.

So who to climb on the RC213V of the Marc VDS team and do the meeting alongside Tito Rabat ? Rumor has it that the 2006 World Champion Nicky Hayden either this one. Currently a Superbike rider on the CBR1000RR, he is having a good season alongside van der mark, with even a victory acquired in Malaysia.

The Kentucky Kid has not commented the rumor but we will remember that the same Hayden was already ready to take the place of the same Miller à Silverstone in case the doctors had not given him the discharge to honor his post, following his violent fall at the Red Bull Ring which had crumpled his neck...

On this news, the American commented from the Lausitzring which is hosting the tenth meeting of the specialty: “ the opportunity is there, there are still a few points to work on. If that happens, of course it will be fun to come back to MotoGP again. We'll see what happens. At the moment I'm just focused on doing my best at the Lausitzring and in WorldSBK, which is my home now."
