It’s “they say”, gossip, not necessarily always very beautiful and no doubt also sometimes mythical or false. In any case, it's from the People of the Paddock. So from the Village People.

Things are definitely going faster and faster in MotoGP and not just on the track. Behind the scenes, too, there is excitement. We remember that the transfer market started very early during the 2016 season. It seems that 2017 aims to break the record in this area since, at Aprilia, we are already thinking about its first transfer. Even before the winter break!
The rumor comes from Racing by motorcycle and she is not in favor of Sam Lowes. The Briton had such a disappointing end to his Moto2 campaign that, from title contender, he had to finish his performance fifth overall. What didn't make the boss smile Fausto Gresini, little affected by his two victories and five pole positions.
The Englishman was, however, assured of his place in MotoGP with an Aprilia contract already signed. But in the meantime, an Irishman namedEugene Laverty was hired by the Noale manufacturer to compete for the world Superbike title. While giving a helping hand to the development of the RS-GP.
Then there were the first tests in Valencia during which Sam Lowes dropped. We will remember that he is the pilot who is the most fallen this season, the overall champion with thirty accidents. Shaken, he skipped the second day in Valencia after finishing 24th at the end of the first day of testing. But he's in the game Jerez and his first day ended with another fall and a final time, at three seconds an Aleix Espargaró already in love with his machine, and behind Eugene Laverty who was racing with the RSV4 Superbike.
To be honest, at Aprilia, we ask ourselves questions.
From there, to see Sam Lowes replaced by Eugene Laverty still a test driver for the Noale brand, to join his brother in SBK, there is only one step that the Italian press organ is not far from taking...
