Be a shame if he loses the ride. He has consistently beaten his team mate all year, often top satellite (until Ducati and Iannone got a shift on!)
They didnt renew cruchlows contract when he was clearly the better rider so i wouldnt hope sense would provail .
I got the feeling that Herve was saying that Bradley has been around too long and hasn't done the business. But maybe I'm wrong.
I'd be surprised if he signs again. He has been on that bike what, 4 years? Rabat or another Moto 2 rider will take it, idealy for Dorna not spanish..
If his contract is not renewed I would have though some of the other teams may be interested in him , for example Ducati in one form or another then there's Aprillia who could also do with his services . Any other thoughts as he clearly deserves to be in Moto G P
According to the world of Twitter, Herve said it was a 99.9% done deal and Bradley seemed put out at this comment as he thought it was a 100% done deal.
