Smith Rewarded With New 1 Year Deal

  1. seems a bit stop gap to me, not exactly committing to him, but at least he has an assured ride next year

  2. as you say, not a lot but better than nothing,, he is best available and suppose the best that he can hope for as the top two teams are spoken for,,,, proper yam next year,, or to replace Dani..:).

  3. Aprilia seat in 2017 could be an option, better than the shite they've got signed

  4. I'm pleased he's got a deal though I do think he deserves more, either from Tech3 in terms of length of contract, or a factory ride.

  5. Puts him in sync with all the main rider contracts next year which maybe a good thing, but lots of M2 and M3 riders will be looking for rides then also.
    With so few bikes, being good isnt enough. Riders have to be outstanding or show promise of being alien.

    • Agree Agree x 1
  6. Think you mean they have to generate money for Dorna in TV and sponsorship returns and bring serious money to the seat

  7. Yes that also. Passports play a role too.
