W
ill Australia's latest boy
wonder Jack Miller be
pole-vaulting straight
from Moto3 to MotoGP? Can
a rider really go from tiddlers to
titans, missing out the middle
ground of Moto2?
It's all a bit up in the air at the mo-
ment, with the rising new Austra-
lian star staying vague as rumors
abound, including quite a strong
one that the Queenslander will
be joining Cal Crutchlow in the
LCR Honda team. Crutchlow will
have a satellite factory RC213V,
Miller a production RCV1000R.
And team owner Lucio Cecchi-
nello a feisty pairing to deal with.
The architect of the move is
none other than the Honda Rac-
ing Corporation. Big chief Shuhei
Nakamoto knows a good rider
when he sees one; knows that
Marc Marquez can't go on for-
ever, knows that he'd better get
in early or Yamaha will snatch him
up.
