The new Moto2 format receives nothing but praise and has made the intermediate category gain legitimacy before entering MotoGP. Symbolically, one of the machines on the set powered by the three-cylinder engine Triumph of 765cc will one day pass the bar 300 km/h cutting edge. So everything is going well, but everything is not yet going well. Because in Austin, we saw a TV commentator finish fourth in the race, ahead of quite a few drivers he comments on...
It would make a bit of a mess. But it's a snub made by a Mattia Pasini whose talent on the handlebars is still well above the average of his now colleagues carrying a microphone... Still, his freelance work within the Pons team in Texas confirmed that having a Pasini on the edge of the pits rather than on the track, it was a waste...
That being said, the Italian is not the last to press where it hurts… “ Many people and teams would like to take or provide me with a motorcycle so that I can race. The big problem is that there is no room at the moment. Although they have the budget and they are serious teams, they don't have the chance to do it. It's a political problem, nothing more, for the moment ».
« We'll see if anything happens after this result in Austin. I notice that the people on my social networks are at my side and rebel a little, which makes me happy because it means that they understand my situation ", said Pasini, who is expected to be on the sidelines again at Jerez, as TV pundit for Sky Sport Italia. “ For now, I'm going back to the commentator's booth in Jerez. There I will comment on some people I left behind. It will be a bit of a satisfaction, too. Even for some drivers it's not good that they were beaten by a commentator ».
