After the FIM and Dorna decided to retire Loris Capirossi’s #65 to honour his long and fruitful career, reigning Moto2 World Champion Stefan Bradl who took the title with the same number (actually it was his sponsor’s 6,5%) had to choose another number for his upcoming debut season in MotoGP and announced via his Facebook page that he’s picked number 6.
“Dear Fans! Now it´s official, my new racing number is “6″.
I´m sure it´s a lucky number 🙂 See you soon! Bradl signed a two year contract with LCR Honda after having first tested the RC212V during the Valencia MotoGP test last November, and will be getting his first taste of the Honda RC213V at Sepang on January 31st.
