"Mika has been under our wings from the beginnings of his grand prix career. "

What ??? I''m sure Aki Ajo, who has entered his fellow Finn Mika Kallio in 125cc GPs and who was robbed his best rider by KTM in the middle of the season in spite of a binding contract, will be happy to read that quote of Pierer''s!

Aki Ajo is the one who has discovered, nurtured and accompanied Mika Kallio in the beginning of his GP career, not KTM, and I''m glad Aki has now a world title under his belt, thanks to Mike DiMeglio, whereas KTM has none. These Austrians are unbelievably arrogant and unfaithful. Ask Team Roberts, Gilera, Arnaud Vincent, Aoyama and others what they think...

I like Kallio as a rider and hope he has a great future in MotoGP.
However I feel sorry for Aoyama who is dumped like that and would have preferred him over Takahashi in the top class.

I think that it is commonly accepted that Kallio has consistently overdelivered despite the fact that he rode inferior Austrian machinery. But in Aprilia's 250 cc class, Dovizioso had an inferior Honda and he pushed Lorenzo over his limit so many times.

The motogp class will benefit from Kallio's quality, but the guy should have tried to get an official Aprilia to try to beat Bautista and Simoncelly before thinking about being promoted.

He won't do any good on a satellite Duke and will probably get dumped in a couple of years and end up in WSB. Should have stayed in 250's on a more competitive bike or even drop down to 125's and wait for a better ride. Reckon he'd win the 125 WC.

be interesting to see how he goes.

not sure the most difficult bike to ride on the grid is ideal, but best of luck to him.

I will be surprised if Kallio finishes other than in the bottom 4 unless there is substantial improvements to this year''s efforts, this year''s riders are every bit as good as kallio and they achieved very little, I still think he will beat one if not both of the Kawasaki''s though!
