Looks like the CRT bikes are a faior bit off the pace....but this was expected. Will be interesting to see whether they can close the gap at all.

:thumbup:

I don't think the CRT bikes will close the gap.

But I am expecting a good show between those bikes next season.

BTW, historic moment for my country now that Yonny Hernandez is confirmed for MotoGP next season :cheer::cheer:

I meant for those in my country (me included of course) that love motorcycling, people here don't consider it a sport, this is not Spain or Italy

Great to see riders come into the Championship from non traditional GP racing countries.. :thumbup:

Motorcycling isnt a Sport in Spain & Italy...it's almost a religion for some???

:thumbup:

As for CRT bikes, it will be like another race within the race, bit like the privateer, or satellite teams now...but hopefully with a few more bikes...16 is not enough.

:thumbup:
