Title: Interesting team shuffling reported in RRW for MotoGP Post by: Ducatista on October 10, 2008, 02:27:26 PM http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=34614 (http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=34614)
Quote Rumors of Kawasaki running a third factory Ninja ZX-RR, placing Shinya Nakano alongside John Hopkins and Marco Melandri, and of Sete Gibernau coming out of retirement to ride a fifth Ducati Desmosedici continue to be discussed. But he crashed on his way to the track because Valentino Rossi farted 3 miles away.

I also predict that Kallio will have the same problem adapting to the Sedici that Elias and Melandri and Guintoli all have had from there GP 2 smoke riding heritage...even though it seemed like Elias is starting to figure the machine out...just a lil too late...Canepa has at least been riding the Sedici as a tester and will hit the ground running and I think it'll be a good thing for him! |
