Riders making a statement?
Almost seems that way.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

team statement anyway. my guess is that even if the valentino/marlboro deal isn't quite done, jarvis pulled ben's contract off the table just as ben was reaching for a pen. ...easy to speculate from my armchair.

Jarvis was never Ben's biggest supporter. Maybe Ben will tell his side of it when the time is right.

I'd love to see Ben as the new BMW wsbk posterboy and then into their (hopeful) move into motogp.
But yeah... seems like there are a lot more shenanigans going on than previously hinted at.

I wonder how that active suspension is going to work out...
in WSBK, it's not. (currently) illegal.
