melandri and kawasaki BACK in motogp 2009 season ...

Last month, Kawasaki quit MotoGP. Now, it seems that after some Geneva Convention-defying negotiations with Dorna, the team will race with one rider this year. Kawasaki's decision to go with former Ducati rider Marco Melandri is already proving controversial; a lawsuit is expected from John Hopkins.
Kawasaki originally pulled out of the series citing costs, but Dorna threatened to fine the manufacturer $28.7 million for breach of contract. Since development of the 2009 ZX-RR was already completed, we assume Kawasaki found it cheaper to enter Melandri in the series than to pay the fine.
MCN reports that Hopkins is now due to ride alongside Leon Haslam for Stiggy Honda in World Superbike.
Expect an official announcement very soon.

dude ... you have WAY too much free time on your hands if you spend it finding prior posts. perhaps you should consider taking up a hobby like ... oh, i don't know ... sniffing glue?
oh snap, you already do that.
