SPECIAL!

Move over Dani, I expect he'll be straight into the Repsol Honda squad in 2013, maybe sooner if he doesn't stick around to win Moto2 next season.

He is going to be a great, great rider - the Spanish are very lucky to have a prospect such as Marc.

Impressive result and illustrates to some degree that the Spanish and Italians seem to have figured out the most efficient way to breed champions i.e. to get them into GPs early and not pi55 about in production classes.
Look out for Maverick Vinales to break this record in a few years.
