2015 Moto3 Provisional Entry List Update - 34 Riders In Total

One would think so, given how long he lingered in the class... But the age limit is 28 and he currently is 28 years old, so this will definitely be his last season in Moto3. I checked Wikipedia and his birthday is in September, so technically he should no longer be racing in the rounds after that, but I guess as a permanent starter he will be able to finish the season, not sure on the rule details there.

Personally I think some riders should be pushed to move up earlier than that, especially when they've been in the class for so long. The years when people - on purpose - spent their entire careers in the smaller capacity classes are long gone and Moto3 is now pretty much regarded as a Rookie class and the breeding ground for future stars and someone like Vazquez who could very well move up a class are essentially blocking the path for new talent to come through.

As I understand he is indirectly the reason Granado no longer has a ride - Honda forced teams to take on Vazquez as he won races for them last year (though I think there is a reason he didn't have a ride at the end of last year despite his wins), the Honda he now occupies was the last one of the Hondas that were planned for the Moto3 class, forcing Maria Herrera out of the expected deal with the Estrella Galicia Team as there are no more Hondas available. To still have Herrera in Moto3 as planned Repsol jumps in and secures her a ride with the Calvo Team, still under the Repsol wings though. The rider falling over the edge was Eric Granado who now rides in the new CEV Euro Moto2 class.

Sorry, long rambling answer to a short question!
