I don't think Lorenzo complained about that pass at all? All i've read is he acknowledged that it was an aggressive move, but wasn't unfair.

I was wondering the same.

I guess you didn't watch the post-race interview then? I'm not talking the press conference immediately after the race, but the individual interview later.

Ha that is what I figure you were talking about. I did but for some reason i don't seem to remember... It was late at night anyways but wouldn't doubt it as JL is the less talented version of Stoner

Márquez to move up to Moto2 with Marc VDS
Published: 1 Sep 2014

Gosselies, Belgium – 1 September 2014: The Marc VDS Racing Team is pleased to announce that Álex Márquez will join the team to contest the 2015 Moto2 World Championship alongside his compatriot and current series leader, Tito Rabat.

Spanish Champion in 2012, Márquez has impressed this year in just his second full season in the Moto3 World Championship, the most closely contested of the three Grand Prix classes.

The 18-year-old Spaniard has two wins and three second places to his name and currently lies second in the series standings, just 13 points behind the Championship leader with six races left to run.

Márquez joins the Marc VDS Racing Team on a two-year deal.

Álex Márquez
“I am so proud and excited to announce I am joining Marc VDS Racing Team in Moto2 for the next two years. It is very important for me because I am changing class with a fantastic team and a strong teammate. I have been working hard to be here and I want to thank the Marc VDS Racing Team for their trust in me. But now it’s time to focus on Moto3, we are in the most important moment of the season and our mission is to fight for the championship.”

Michael Bartholemy // Team Principal
“It has always been our goal to bring young riders into Moto2, and Álex Márquez is the perfect fit for us. He has shown he has both the talent and the drive to succeed with some impressive performances over the past two years, which are the attributes we want as we look towards the future. Having Tito Rabat alongside him and an experienced team behind him will help with Álex’s transition from Moto3 to Moto2 next year. I am confident that in 2016 he will be ready to step up and spearhead our World Championship campaign.”

Marc van der Straten // President, Marc VDS Racing Team
“Álex Márquez’s signature on a contract for 2015 has been the goal of many teams in the Grand Prix paddock, so I am proud that his first choice of team with which to move up to Moto2 was ours. Álex is an outstanding rider, with immense talent, but equally important is his work ethic. He is not afraid of hard work and that will stand him in good stead when he starts the transition from the Honda Moto3 machine he races now to the Kalex Moto2 bike that he’ll race for the next two years. I am looking forward to Álex joining us and I am confident that with the help of the team he will soon establish himself as a title contender in Moto2.”​

So I guess Mika Kallio is moving up to MotoGP??
 
Most likely Pramac Ducati, he was with them in 2009 & 2010; with a better Ducati package they might be more competitive.

[Marc Márquez] does not even have a road-going motorcycle, having never found the time to take the test for a motorcycle license. He does not drive a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, like many of Europe’s sports stars, but a Honda Civic supplied as part of his racing contract.​

If Kallio gets a factory GP15, I would agree. With an open GP14, his results will be midpack at best.

Ducati has come out with a new accessory for all their motorcycles called the Crutchlow. It's a seat warmer and costs $2 million dollars. A year.

I cannot believe Suzuki hired him. He'd better get his thumb out and go fast at Suzuki or his career is over being branded a whiner.

It is LCR Honda, yeah. AEspargaro and MVinales are riding with Suzuki next season.

That said, I was disappointed in seeing LCR dropping Bradl in favour of Crutchlow. We'll see if that rider change brings results. I'm not convinced.

I believe this was due to new British sponsorship for LCR Honda. They'd rather want an Englishmen vs. a German rider... Bradl, hasn't been that strong this season either.
