Cal is the real deal on the 1000cc. I know not yet 3 races but he is really suiting the top class now.

Not Bradley bashing, but even last year I didnt think he had proven he had earned a motogp seat. Think contract was given too early, for PR reasons maybe.
Now it looks like Dovi will have to be unseated to make way for Smith.
Its hard to see how tech3 can justify getting rid of a 125 world champ, twice 250 runner up and last years 3rd place motogp rider to a rider who has yet to win a mid category race and is currently looking like a top ten moto2 rider.
This is not an attack on Smith more a defence of Dovi, as he is a quiet but very consistent top rider who doesnt deserve relegation to CRT or a satelite ducati.
Shame for him to only have one season on the M1 before having to move on again, it wont do his career any good.

Cal could move to yamaha garage, but Spies is too class a rider to lose just because of first 2 poor races.
