Rumors and other speculations have been running behind the scenes of the Grands Prix since well before this season was even launched. In MotoGP, the outlook for the next few years took shape very quickly with a Rossi at Yamaha, then a Lorenzo at Ducati followed by a Pedrosa at Honda and a Dovizioso at Ducati. We almost forget Smith at KTM and Sam Lowes at Aprilia. Waiting for Viñales and Suzuki's decision to replace him. But in the other categories, too, we speculate…
Take the case of Moto2 for example. We know that Johann zarco will not do a third year and that he has solid contacts with the Suzuki factory. He will do a test this summer on the GSX-RR and even in the wake of the formidable Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance race, this time on a GSX-R.
So who to replace him within an Ajo team which, let us remember, is the title holder. The natural successor would be a Brad Binder in full bloom this season as leader of the Moto3 championship after solid performances. Aged 21, he's not what you'd call a veteran, but others at his age are already impressing in MotoGP. It is therefore time for the South African to continue his momentum and move upmarket. On this perspective, the boss Aki Ajo confirm on speedweek : " Of course, Brad Binder is a serious option for our team in Moto2 in 2017. We spoke to him about it and his goal is to move up to Moto2 next year ».
Be careful though to let him carry out his current campaign with complete peace of mind. The precipitation made from the weather Jack Miller, intended to serve as a lesson.
