Why is it that when I read this I hear the opening music to 'The Benny Hill Show'?  laughingdp

That would be some good entertainment right there though.  waytogo

MotoLiam posted up and said it was confirmed (via Mamola) that Ben signed for Yamaha WSBK for 2009 and is gonna take Colin's spot in 2010.  I know it's third hand, but that's a pretty good source.

WooHoo, I was actually right about the GP thing!

Good for Ben.  He deserves to be seen on the GP stage and I have no doubt that he can kick Hopper's ass week in and week out.  Which will really piss Hopper off given their history...

you can be sure he's either racing some american series that is close to or better than today in terms of the rules/classification, on a suzuki, or he's going home.

and i bet he may just go home regardless, unless some manu signs someone in the series who can actually race the guy.  he was ready to retire before ben came along.

iirc, mat was already signed for 2009. of course, the language of that contract could be tied to specific formats (1000cc superbike), so who knows whether that contract is valid for next year.

They (speed) must have moved the article.

His crew chief is moving with him.  Yamaha sees the importance of some team consistency.  Similar to Rossi's chief following him from Honda.
