T SEEMS THERE WILL
not be much change
from the factory camps
for 2016. Valentino Rossi
and Jorge Lorenzo
will remain at Movistar
Yamaha, as well as Marc
Márquez and Dani Pedrosa
staying at Respol Honda.
Pol Espargaro, Bradley
Smith, and Cal Crutchlow
are all staying put also.
There’s some excitement
for British fans as UK rider
Scott Redding has bagged
himself a ride on the
Pramac Ducati team along
with Danilo Petrucci for next
season. Yonny Hernandez
is rumoured to be joining
FreestyleXtreme team rider
Eugine Laverty on the Aspar
team, aboard some new
Ducatis - which should
make things interesting.
