Riders making a statement?

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. |
