That's what I've been saying!

He is a fast rider, for sure.
But he is a destabilizing influence, not what they need now, IMO.
They need a wingman for Dovi, and Iannone has already proven he is not that wingman.

Ianonne is capable of going after a championship on the Ducati. I don't think he needs to be anyone's wingman.

Problem for AI is that he has shades of Anthony Gobert about him and it could wreck his career. Teams want a team rivalry that pushes to a higher level, but not a wrecking ball on and off the track. In comparison, Jack's a wild man, but he's easy to get on with. I think Petrucci will get the job, but Im hoping for Jack.

Carlos, that guy could be AI's distant cousin

I would get Dovi a contract ASAP, then push off discussions with Jorghey until you have a clear idea if it's going to be Miller or Petrux. At this point it makes no sense to offer Jorghey anything remotely close to his current contract, which means that he's almost guaranteed to go to Suzuki. Miller has performed better the last 2 races, but things can change very quickly when they head in the European rounds, so buying a few weeks or even months will help them to determine who will be sitting next to Dovi.

Ianonni also reminds me of the late great Marco Simoncelli.

Can I have some of what you're smoking?

Re-signing Iannone would be like divorcing, and then marrying the same woman a second time.

Give Petrucci the ride. Let Jack get a couple more years at Pramac.

 

Monkey is the natural successor for sure and being the same nationality as the bike, speaks the lingo.
Jack however, is getting there with that developing accent

You have to be realistic Iannone can ride the Duc the way the Duc needs to be ridden.

He is the right choice rides it like he stole it 

He rides it well, but like Gobert not worth the trouble. There's more than talent involved and dickheads will only be tolerated for so long and then only if they produce results. If you dont believe how much trouble AI must be, just check out his blogs! The paddock is full of nutcases, but AI takes the cake!

If you’ve never been to an endurance race. GO!!
