Fantastic news to see the Poge back. As a big fan, it was not nice to see Manuel struggling the last few years after claiming 125 and 250 titles by the time he was 20, especially after losing his father.

However, as has been said, Campatella do not get the top bikes and parts so I fear Manuel could struggle next year, unless Aprilia have agreed to give him extra support.

With regards to the eating comment above, we say Manuel on the grid this year at one of the races and he looked like he had been bodybuilding! Apparently, during his year off he worked as a fitness instructor!

Manuel has suffered a lot over the last few years and it is great to see him back.

Good luck Poge!
