With the shock news of Jonas Folger opting to sit out of the 2018 MotoGP season for Monster Yamaha Tech3 due to illness it leaves a huge opportunity for 168澳洲幸运5𓄧官方开奖结果历史:a rider to step-in at the satelliteౠ Yamaha squad.

In November Folger had been diagnosed with 'Gilbert Syndrome' and ෴put on a special diet, with the young German pledging to make a comeback in 2018 after missing the final four rounds of his rookie M🌠otoGP season.

But in a dramatic twist, Folger’s manager Bob Moore made a call to Tech3 boss He✤rve Poncharal on Tuesday night to say the German rider wouldn’t be able to contest the 2018 MotoGP season as he focused on his health and recovery.

As a resul🐽t, Poncharal has just weeks to fill a race 🍒seat next to Johann Zarco at the Tech3 squad, with the first official MotoGP test in Sepang only 10 days away, with the majority of likely candidates already signed up on race contracts for the upcoming season.

Therefore the option to replace Folger is wide open with a huge number of potential candidates.🦹

Yamaha could s🅘huffle its current rider pack to see Michael van der Mark or Alex Lowes switch from World Superbikes to MotoGP having both acted as replacement riders in recent seasons but would need to release them from their existing contracts.

Elsewhere one of the biggest unsigned names (at least officially) is 2014 World Superbike champion Sylvain Guintoli but he currently has links to the factory Suzuki squadꩵ or could Yamaha look further afield to MotoA🅰merica?

Who♌ do you think should replace Folger at Tech3 for the 2018 MotoGP season?

Crash will be running Forum debates every day during the winter in preparation for the 2018 season debating a range of topics and issues – 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:but you can sub🐻mit your own ideas here.
