http://www.crash.net/MotoGP/News/142846/1/exclusive_paul_denning_team_suzuki_-_qa.html

interesting interview with denning after the sepang test.

notable from an american perspective is how much he basically hangs the performance of the squad on capirossi and, as usual, says not much about the mole.  they really screwed up in not hiring spies, which i suspect denning would privately agree with.

I agree with you there, and can you imagine how Spies would be taking to the updated Zuke?  He was pretty solid on last years bike and that wasn't exactly the greatest bike in the field.  Capirex rocks in the development department.  Great guy to have on your team and the dude can still rip it up at his relative old age for racing in the premier class.

I'm really hoping we see a fistful of riders on all 5 eh 4 manufacturers up front this season.  The Dornasaki doesn't count imo if it happens to get Melandri and Hopper back in the field.  While it may lend extra racers, I don't think its going to be terribly productive.  Who knows though.  Maybe Aprilia should contact Melandri/Hopper and bring back the cube!   cheeky

Unless every 2009 race is wet.

that was a good read.  Mr Denning seems like he would be a good boss to have.  I liked his approach when asked about his thoughts on cost cutting options - basically saying what he thinks doesn't matter - it will be what it is, and he will do his job regardless.  Nice to see instead of people publicly b1tching about rules.

I was commenting on Vermulen's wet weather skills rather than the AMA's continued super-retardation, but it certainly applies.   Wink

It will be interesting to see how Ben performs in the wet...

which is actually what I thought you were referring to.

I'm interested too.  I can't remember (but I'm sure derby can  Roll Eyes), but weren't two of his MotoGP races wet?  Indy (where wet is an understatement) and in the UK?  Or was UK dry?

Happen to have that race saved and Spies is no doubt impressive....new bike, track, tires and qualifies 8th in the wet ahead of Pedrosa, Toseland, Lorenzo, DeAngilis, Hopper to name a few.  Finished 14th.  He is gonna get roughed up in WSBK, but once he shakes that off he is gonna be real good!

yep, donington (? - whatever UK track his first GP was), and Indy.  he also qualified very well in the UK, which was about 48 hours after he got the call to ride in that race for capi.

i'm sure he would have gotten 5th at indy too if the garage language barrier hadn't fallen down on "anti-fog stuff".  poor guy was blind at the end of the race.
