Who should stand-in for Morbidelli"
With no word on whether or not Franco Morbidelli will be fit enough for the Styria GP in a month?s time (8th August), social media is rumbling with debate on who should stand–in for Morbidelli, should he not be passed fit. The big-haired Italian underwent knee surgery after a ?training accident? and missed the Dutch TT. Yank WSBK star Garrett Gerloff was asked to stand-in for Morbidelli and he did a reasonable job. He may well be invited back to have another go. But he may not. Is he the right man for the job, or is there someone else that would be better for it" This is what I think?
Garrett Gerloff
There?s a very good reason Garrett Gerloff won?t be asked to stand-in for Morbidelli on the Petronas Yamaha SRT MotoGP bike. It?s because he?ll be racing his Pata Yamaha R1M in the World Superbike Championship in the Czech Republic that weekend. But if he wasn?t, should he be invited back for another go"
Assen was his second go on an M1 (although it was the first time he actually got to race it). Whilst he certainly didn?t embarrass himself, he was a little bit off the pace. That?s completely understandable; a MotoGP bike is a different animal to a Superbike, and he?d never been to Assen before. And with the MotoGP grid as competitive as it is, gone are the days of WSBK riders turning up and running at the front.
But he?s had his turn now. So I think it?s only right that someone else gets a go on the M1.
