Jake Dixon backed for Pramac Yamaha ahead of less-suited Moto2 rival
Jake Dixon's "riding styl🔜e would be𝕴 good on a Yamaha"

Jake Dixon’s suitability fo🔴r the Yamaha has seen him touted fo🍨r the new Pramac project by some inside the paddock.
Dixon delivered a sensational home victory in the 🌌M🙈oto2 race at last weekend’s British Grand Prix.
But while he doesn’t have a clear route into MotoGP꧅, Moto2 rival Tony Arbolino is in the mix for a step up with Pramac Yamaha, according to Sky Italia.
“It’s a possibility,” Sylvain Guintol🥀i reacted to TNT Sports.
“He had a di👍fficult start to the season but it’s getting better now. He’s not an obvious choice.
“Miguel Oliveira, in my opinion, is a great choice. He’s an interesting r🍷ider and, for them, would make a lot of sense.
“If they go for a younger rider,𒊎 it’s a bit surpri💎sing.
“There are other guys out thereไ who you’🍷d be thinking of.”
Guintoli said before💎 Dixon’s emphatic home victory: “His riding style would be good on a Yamaha.
“I remember when Fabio Quartararo came up to MotoGP. People were thinking that he hadn’t dominated in Moto♍2. But the riding style…
“The riding style of Dixon [could help] Yamaha.”
Dixon said at Silverstone about his MotoGP hopes: “I started racing when I was 14-years-old and how many other people in the Grand Prix paddocꦐk started when they were 14?
"So, I’m naturally going to be a little bit older when I 𒉰come to Grand ༒Prix.
“I wish I could be going to MotoGP, but everything happens for a reason: if I’m meant to go, I’m meant to go one day, ꧙if not, so be it, I’m here to try to win a world title, I’ve always dreamt of being a world champion and I’ll always try to do that.”
However, 💧Alonso Lopez is another ෴Moto2 starlet with a chance at the Pramac Yamaha seat.
"Who knows,” Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis said abꦇout Lopez to .
“We said a couple of♌ years ago that he is a rider we are interested in.
“We are following his career, when the right time comes ❀foꩲr him to move up to the premier class we can think about it.”
Guintoli reacted: “They need someone with no experience [of𒉰 a MotoGP bike].
“That can be good. Like Pedro Acosta this season. He went onto his bike w🌞ith no experience of MotoGP, so it was normal. He didn’t know it before with no aero, with a different engine.
“They n꧃eed somebody like that. It’s a tough choi🐽ce though. Somebody like Lopez…”
