Czech rider Karel Abraham who currently races in Moto2 with the Cardion AB Motoracing team may be making the big jump to MotoGP next year with a brand new team and riding a Ducati.
The all new team will be financed by Abraham’s father, one of the richest men in the Czech Repubblic, and are presently deep in negotiations with Ducati management about fielding a sixth Desmosedici.
As this may sound like the usual summer gossip, we can confirm that 20 year old rider has even had the measure of the red bike after having tested it at the Mugello race track, just before the Sachsenring GP last weekend, with an unofficial best lap of 1′50″1.
With Ducati willing to supply an extra bike to the scrawny grid, we’ve got this odd picture popping into our minds of Carmelo Ezpeleta literally kissing Abraham’s father and Filippo Preziosi.
