Looks like a really good move.

We may see Cal and/or Dovi on a podium!

May well be the strategic move they need.

Great idea.  [thumbsup]

I still don't see a podium for them this year though...unless one or more of the aliens (including Rossi) is out of the race, then maybe.

Though that did explicitly state back-to-back tests of GP13 and GP14 bikes at Sepang Feb 4-6.

Subject to change at any time, your mileage may vary, check's in the mail. Nudge, nudge. Wink wink. Say no more.
