hes lucky to get a decent ride ,hes under delivered all of this year

Not making any excuses for Cal but has it been a decent ride for him this year ????

Strange as it is to say even the factory Hondas have struggled this season so maybe it's been even worse in the satellite team.

Putting all that to one side, I hope he makes something of it next season, he does have the talent if he stays on.

lucky to get the deal IMO, he's under performed this year. Ltt's hope he can turn around like Bradly did, or at least stay on it for Silverstone.

I am surprised he's been offered a 2 year deal. He's a talented rider but he's prone to being rash and binning it rather than bringing his team some points

I like racers who go for it and always go for the win rather than settle for points. Casey and to a certain extent Marquez are like this. They are true racers with that ultimate competitive streak. You enter them in any race and they will want to win it. Settling for points even when the right thing to do is hard for them. Their whole logic is wired around the only thing that matters is winning. I admire that in a racer personally but accept it's not always the best thing for the team.

They were busy removing the original team sponsors logos from the Motogp truck today at Silverstone.

I assume the castrol deal has opened up the money to pay him. Seems to have happened at the same time......

A lot of rides in motogp are dictated by sponsors to have a certain natonality of rider so it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

But if true I'm glad as it makes a refreshing change to see an English rider getting some assistance.

Moves like that from his teammate don't help Cal's reputation.

That was a crazy move from Miller and just way too desperate. On the aerial replay he is miles back and just makes an impossible move that or he head a problem with the brakes.
