Skinner to Moto2

Post by westers151 »

With American racing [https://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news ... -from-2023

I like the lad, so hope he does well. I think he's in the right team to nurture him, and not chuck him under a bus when results aren"t happening as quick as they'd hoped for.

Not a massive shock, but a cracking thing potentially. On it's day that's a damn good team to join and have had some great results. English speaking team will be a massive benefit for him as well.

Agreed; I was editing my post to say the same thing about the team.

Hope it works out for him, riding for an English speaking team can only help.

Superb! All the best to him. The highlight of my club racing career was racing again him during an endurance race, it was mind boggling how fast he was, I’ll never forget it.

Time for Rory to polish those skills and Moto2 will definitely make him faster. Hope he does well.
