In just under a month, things have changed significantly on the MotoGP rider market. Sergio Garcia has gone from being the object of desire of Pramac or Trackhouse, the Spanish rider's agents asked not to do anything without letting them know first, to digesting the prospect that he will have to continue in Moto2 next season regardless of whether he is crowned champion.
The 21-year-old's trajectory and inertia is making him the man with the greatest projection in Moto2. Just past the championship's halfway point, Garcia leads the overall standings by 18 points from closest pursuer Ai Ogura. That follows a heroic performance last Sunday at Silverstone, which catapulted him from the 20th place he occupied on lap one to fourth at the chequered flag.
