He finished top CRT for 2012. Even beat a couple of prototypes including KAREL ABRAHAM.

Wins..poles...podiums he's had his chances massively overrated on a decent ride with that Aprilia.
Sorry I think he might have had 1 podium once.

He had100 plus starts over moto2 ..250 & 125 nothing

He lead a race on a CRT bike.
(In the wet)
He's riding a donkey and doing great.

I don't rate this @ all . admitingly he picks up a few points here & there due to consistency rather than havinga red hot dip.
I know he has his fans in the green room but fucked if I see why.

Huh, he has managed to be on the CRT podium half the time and the same with fastest CRT bike in qualifying. How doesn't that count

If there's anyone on that grid who doesnt deserve a ride........ its Bradley Smith!

He's about as useful as tits on a bull!

If Tech3 is sticking British....... Scott Redding should have gotten that ride!

Oh, and Micheal Laverty is on a mule of a bike, good luck developing a PBM prototype CRT......
Lamb to the slaughter!
