Although there was also a moment were he climbed up into the top ten before crashing. I'm not convinced that he's going to cut it in the the very deep end of the pool in Moto2 compared to Moto3. After all, the Moto3 bikes seem to be very consistant as a group with regard to performance and chassis as evidenced by the very large, tight groupings whereas certain Moto2 teams seem to find extra top speed and cornering speed in those bikes. Can Pawi find his way in Moto2? Did he have his brief moment in the sun already or is he capable of much more consistant and better results in Moto2? Time will tell although it often takes a 2nd year in Moto2 for some of the riders to get legs. The hurtles are huge. Does Pawi have the financial, physical and emotional tackle to survive and, more importantly, succeed? We've seen too many careers in this sport dashed to make any qualified predictions. Case in point, Marquez and Miller both moved up after highly successful Moto3 seasons only to leave us wondering about their overall skill sets. I hope the best for Pawi. But as I sit here in Las Vegas, I don't see myself running down to the sports betting bar and throwing money down on that man. Dave, should I float a marker for you at the casino?

Hope his career doesn't disappear in Moto2.<br />Thanks for the write ups Dave, always enjoyable.Scott Kolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03281697877992208151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990383502677327774.post-29559490841897394162016-11-15T23:22:13.893-05:002016-11-15T23:22:13.893-05:00I noticed this guy as well.

He wasn't overly flashy in riding style like some of the phenoms of recent history or the "win or bin" boys (at least in my uneducated observation) so I'm a bit surprised he's already been promoted to Moto2! The Moto3 class is really my favorite .....but I still miss the 125s and even moreso the 50/80cc screamers. I think I was born in the wrong era or the wrong continent at the very least!
