Stay tuned to what's happening at MarcVDS... no idea how this is going to end...
MarcVDS owner terminated the contract of team principle Michael Bartholemy. But Bartholemy essentially operates the team and owns some equipment and leases, and controls several rider contracts. Rumour is that he has cancelled his lease of Honda motogp bikes (I couldn't tell if it was for the duration of the season or just the weekend). It's unknown whether the team will appear at Mugello in either MotoGP or Moto2 class...
it's a mess...
Yeah, I heard about that ongoing cluster****, apparently its been known in the paddock for a some time, and it is a messy situation for the riders.
That sucks for the moto2 riders most because Marquez and Mir were both on the podium this weekend and could have leveraged their position(s) to get a factory ride, but now who knows if they will even be on the grid in Mugello.
Edit: Ahh, yeah, I knew HRC saw the benefits of having Joan under Marc on that bike, hopefully they confirm things by next race!
Maybe the rumors of Dani retiring are true, as I don't think a Puig led HRC would let Pedrosa (a Honda Lifer) go if he still had it in him.
