I don't think so Lars. Johnny ditched Honda, for Kwak, after they passed him over for a chance to ride in GP.
........

That was then. Now it's between continuing to win in SBK and a seat in a struggling team with no real chances. He's not THAT talented and he's the wrong nationality to get a winning seat.

Of course, if he has enough money and just wanted a couple of seasons in MotoGP for bragging rights...

I agree with you... except about his talent

I don't think the guys in the GP paddock fear any other rider.

I should expand on this one. You're right, the riders don't really fear anyone. If they would bring it Rea, it would need to be to a satellite team at least the first year, since he's an "unknown". At that point we would have 2 super talented Brits on satellite bikes? What are the optics of that, especially considering that the other Brits were booted off the grid. I think Dorna and the Factories fear him being successful.

Now I can agree. Carmelo doesn't want the success of his farm system being challenged.

Even Cal, who is undeniably the most recently successful Brit, is on a satellite team, and since he was passed over for Dani's spot I doubt any Brit will get a seat on a factory team.

I wonder if it's 100% true....

Hate to say I told you so. This is where a desperate team comes in. Carmelo can just push the douchebag in.

I'm sure he could tell the Snipers Team to dig that contract out and tape it back together.

And he could tell MV that Romano is now The Official MotoGP® Safety Poster Boy, and by the way, fix that contract, he's your rider.

Perhaps he's Fenati's rabbi?

The way they handled his ouster from the Sky team kinda showed that he was going to get a pass. Not sure if he's anyone's rabbi or if he has a video of Carmelo getting friendly with some sheep.

It just gets stranger the more I think about it.

How is Carmelo going to accomplish this change of behavior with Romano on the racetrack?
A hypnotic spell?
A shock collar?
Threaten to throw his mother from a plane?
<IMO, none of those would work>

Are we that short on Moto2 pilots, we can't lose one?
Carmelo plugging up the Italian rider pipeline with a problem child?

Too much power. He can do whatever he wants.

It corrupts people. It’s not good to pretty much always get what you want.
