According to several sources of information, including the very serious crash.net, the adventure of British Talent Team would not be renewed in 2018.
Built around John mcphee and mainly financed by the organizers of the Grand Prix, rumor has it that the latter will reorganize their support for several teams in 2018.
As a result, the Scottish pilot would find himself having to look for a handlebar, and the one still available alongside the young Makar Yurchenko within the CIP team of Alain Bronec is not the least interesting.
Indeed, next year the French team will have KTMs, which until now have almost always been more competitive than the Swiss-Italian-Indian Mahindras.
If the contract is concluded, and there do not seem to be any major obstacles that could prevent it, the CIP team would take a further step, not only by having more competitive bikes, but also an extremely seasoned rider.
This would bring a plus compared to the usual rookies detected by the French team manager who, if they are far from undeserving (Marco Bezzecchi et Manuel Pagliani are regularly in the top 15 this year), must go through the essential stage of having to discover the world circuits and the basics of the profession of Grand Prix driver.
We are now waiting for this (good) news to be made official.
