Luca Boscoscuro is a former rider converted with some success as a constructor in Moto2. It is in fact he who presides over the destiny of the Speed Up brand, motorcycles of which there will be four this season on the category grid. A year where they are more feared than the others after convincing off-season tests. The Italian talks about the chances of his troops on the eve of a Qatar Grand Prix which will take place without MotoGP, and where his favorite discipline will therefore play the stars... But he also wonders about the state of Moto3...
There will be four Speed Up this season in Moto2. With, apparently, good chances of success, or even more if affinities, since Jorge Navarro is one of the favorites cited for the title race. With him, Fabio Di Giannantonio then the Aspar duo composed of Syahrin came from MotoGP and Canet promoted from Moto3 will be keen to show all the qualities of the chassis of the brand dear to Luca Boscoscuro.
« In Moto2, the driver-team package makes the difference » comments the Italian boss. “ Navarro came from two difficult seasons, and in 2019 we had to rebuild him. I think he is now ready to do very well, but we will have to wait 4 or 5 races to understand what his level is. I believe that Jorge Martin will also be among the protagonists, while among the Italians, in addition to Di Giannantonio, I also see Luca Marini, the one who in the past won Grands Prix also beating his teammate Pecco Bagnaia, then champion of the world. So far, Luca has lacked a bit of consistency, but I don't know why. As I have said, the team is very important in Moto2, with many riders in half a second, great consistency is required »
But what calls out Luca Boscoscuro, it's a Moto3 who struggles to find a real favorite: “ in recent years, these races have become quite strange: there is only one group, where the one who has the best time on a lap then finds himself 15th... There's something wrong, it's like no one can lead. In MotoGP and Moto2 the difference between the best and worst lap is contained in 6-7 tenths, in Moto3 this does not happen »
He ends on Moto.it : " I'm not saying it's going slow, but there's something that's not working. It's really hard to point to a favorite. Arbolino? In 2019 he won some champion races, but in the end he got a little lost. He is certainly a strong driver, but he needs to be more consistent. »
On Sunday, we will perhaps see a little more clearly in these two categories after the Qatar Grand Prix will have extinguished its lanterns.
