Steve Bones, FTR - Question & Answer
Monday June 20 2011

Question and answer with FTR Moto Director Steve Bones.


Q. With the second Moto2 World Championship campaign now well under way and considering you’ve gone from four riders in 2010 to 12 riders for 2011, how is the current series looking for FTR Moto?

A. “At present all of the signs are there to suggest we will achieve our 2011 ambition of developing the younger riders and new riders to the World Championship with the M211. This year is in contrast to a debut year where we had a number of established, proven riders who contributed to six pole positions, four race wins and a dozen podium finishes. For 2011 we have some really exciting talent on the M211s and we’re enjoying working with them and the six teams of which four are new to FTR for 2011.”
