Is the 2016 Moto3 season already over? We would be tempted to believe it with a Brad Binder that nothing and no one seems to be able to stop who is prancing at the top of the general classification. Worse, his main challenger Jorge Navarro is injured in training and has to withdraw, leaving it to the third in the general classification to go and upset him at the next Grand Prix in Assen. This one is a Romano Fenati relegated to 66 lengths. Enough to start preparing your projects for 2017.
Because even if there are still ten Grands Prix to go, the gap seems prohibitive for the man who was expected to be a stronger contender for the title this year. The VR46 rider is 21 years old and has been riding Moto3 since 2012 with ups and downs. Great comebacks, victories acquired with panache, but only seven with two pole positions to his credit. It is at the turning point of regularity that we expected Fenati and he is not yet there while, in his team, Migno progress and Open up, 16 years old, is already revealing himself.
In short, time is running out to fenati and despite his difficulties, he looks forward. Still in the little papers of the boss of the VR46 team which we no longer present, he launched the preparations for the next stage by discovering Moto2 through tests carried out with the SpeedUp team. An approach perhaps preliminary to a larger project if we judge by the statements of the Italian rider on MotoGP.com: “ the objective for next season would be to move up to Moto2, while continuing my project with SKY Racing Team VR46. The work we have undertaken since 2014 has made me grow a lot. The winter break will therefore be devoted to training, to prepare myself as best as possible for this new category. ».
Valentino Rossi and his troops will they gain a foothold in Moto2? It's in the air apparently and Fenati would be in the luggage despite the fact that he has never worn the slightest crown. Finally, the season is not over: “ there are still ten races and anything can happen. Brad Binder and Jorge Navarro aren't the only drivers to be wary of. I think it will be difficult until the end. Brad Binder is currently the most consistent. His team is very strong, he is the man to beat. But Italy is not left out » corrects fenati. Certainly, but the head may already be elsewhere.
