If you’ve followed the “silly season” shenanigans closely in the off season, you will know that Blusens Aprilia 125cc refuge, Scott Redding, is currently without a ride for 2010, having been linked to a few fruitless talks with various Moto2 teams. Scott certainly has the talent to excel in the Moto2 class, but is suffering with sponsorship deals to land him a Moto2 ride.
My friend Gareth has created this website to get some more Scott supporters to donate to the young Brit’s Moto2 cause, and if you have some loose change to spare, you should donate to help Scott secure that Moto2 ride he thoroughly deserves!
Nicky ended the final day of the post-season test at Valencia in 3rd place on board the GP10! But before you get too excited, the Yamaha boys didn’t take part in the final day’s proceedings! Still, this test has been a great result for Nicky and hopefully the next test at Malaysia will go just as well!

Nicky is on track today for the usual post-race test at Valencia. We’re not sure whether he’s riding the ‘10 Ducati, but this will probably be clarified sometime later today.
Here’s some updates from the 15.00 and 16.00 mark.
DOB: July 30, 1981
