c'mon... that's like saying duhamel has more ama superbike wins than the other kids lookin' for a job. what has he done
lately
?
Hey, you take that back about Duhamel!
Capi won on the 800cc Ducati--that's gotta be worth something? Ok, so he isn't setting the world on fire, but I think Suzuki is just phoning it in at this point. Maybe they don't even plan to be around for the long term.

A slight adjustment.
You could put several riders in that category though, some were lucky enough to have the opportunity to stick around long enough to figure it out.

don't recall the thread where we were discussing the engine leasing idea/too lazy to find it, but this will eventually be silly-related: yamaha potentially will lease an engine to the nearly-defunct Hayate team, effectively keeping the bike on the grid and finding another home for some ride-less rider for 2010. especially makes sense here b/c the kawi is the only other inline-4 out there.

I wonder if they'll wait for him to decide?
I would.

yup:
"Ben is very important for Yamaha racing—its present and future. I think that Ben has not yet made his decision. It's either going to be WSBK or MotoGP. Already this means that half of my team is going to be ready to welcome him.
So now we wait

herve is sitting in a pretty good spot. he's basically in the position of waiting for yamaha to decide who they want to put on his bike.
he (and everybody else) knows that, barring some unforeseen brand defection, one of those seats is going to eventually go to spies.
what's herve waiting for? he's simply waiting to find out if it's going to be
this
year or
next
year.

and apparently if it's not this year, he can fill the spot with one of several riders that he doesn't even have to pay.
