Like Lowes, he was given the poor bike and the team would listen, if you believe the press. They tested loads of stuff, where he wanted to ride to win not test. Bradley Smith would have done well there, being happy just to test every week
More the way he left, than the why he left mate, he acted very unprofessional, and that's not just the press, I thought that from his interviews post leaving.
I suspect when you get that far along the road, and need people to realise its not because you have lost your talent, you have to do something. I wish more were like him TBH. Lower did similar a couple of rounds ago too...in fact the other loses did it the end of last year in WSBK too. I like it: shows spirit! Batter than Casey Moaner flinching off mid-season because he was a little tired....
Just read Lowes, potentially to join MVDS to replace Miller. I think that will be a good result for MVDS. Pleased Redding got another ride, as for how he will do at Aprillia I have no idea. Here's hoping.
Gone back to Moto2 not Aprillia. Crash.net got it wrong (as did I) Andy Not having a good time, got Danny Kent and Scott mixed up. Doh ! Andy
I remember a young Vinales chucking his toys out of the Pram a couple of years back https://motomatters.com/news/2012/10/19/maverick_vinales_in_shock_decision_to_le.html
http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/motogp-austria-redding-denies-signing-aprilia-deal Seems Redding isn't confirmed...
I think he's just making sure we know he hasn't turned snake against a fellow Brit. PR management at its finest.

Quoted people's posts about Redding/Aprilia though. Assumed Kent but thought it odd. I thought, he's quite adamant though so maybe knows something.
I see Scott qualified ahead of Miller again! Obviously Pramac can see more talent than the rest of us
