The Team Yamaha World has decided will be the Northern Ireland Eugene Laverty the replacement dell’indisponibile Fabien Foret for the stages of Donington Park and Vallelunga. The French Centaur was injured last July in the GP of Brno, bringing the fracture of two vertebrae (C6 and C7).

The ventiduenne of Toomebridge, writing in this motomondiale, class 250, has a curriculum respectable, with a ninth and third place achieved in the British Supersport Championship. “I’m really pleased to have the opportunity to run with a Supersport,” said Laverty. “It’s fantastic that Yamaha has chosen offrendomi me this chance.”

Misano could say a word on a crucial question not just weight: why Stoner fell in Brno? Perhaps because (after having lost the great duel of Laguna Seca) was betrayed by the “pressure” due out of Valentino who was under? Then a weak Stoner held in psychological, like other samples (Gibernau, Biaggi etc..) Ultimately is “forced” to leave “green light” to seven times world champion?
