I think I called this move a while back.  Now we'll see if he recovers completely for the start of 2011.

Which would mean that we are unlikely to see Elias in the GP paddock.

BTW, no comments on Rea staying with Ten Kate?  They better get that fookin' bike to work next year.  I thought he was gonna be a front-runner this year.  But then again, I forgot that Aprilia is allowed to run a GP bike.

well...with the kybosh put on a factory Ducati team...I think the idea of staying with the Ten Kate/Buzz Lightyear Honda is probably alot better than most for Rea...it isn't the ideal, but he has a secure job for sure, and it'll be fun to see him outshine Toseland who'll be in the other seat in the paddock right beside him...as far as the Ape...the modifcation of the rules for 2011 will surely change the Priller's dominance a bit I think...that paired with the idea that maybe some development work might get done on the CBR and I think I read something yesterday that said Batta was going to bat at Suzuki to get some help and whatnot for to develop the GSXR...

that article sounded more like him trying to make sure they get at least some sort of factory support.  i suspect he suspects that japan may leave him hanging.

that is what I was thinking...but if they want him to run the GP team, like I read, then he is for sure going to lever something for his WSBK team....it'd be dumb for him not to.

I just finished it too....and I LOVED this...

....Jules Cisek: Yeah, I think he said a couple of times that he might like to give it a try. And then, the follow-up to the whole preparations for the MotoGP, have you talked to James Toseland about it? Are you guys concentrating mostly on this season still or have you pegged him for maybe some advice?

Cal Crutchlow: No, I don't really speak to James about that and I wouldn't really speak to him about it. I think I'd speak to someone who knows GP, and that will probably be Colin if Colin stays a teammate next year. It will be Colin or it will be Ben....

Good to see Colin Edwards sticking around the MotoGP paddock for another year!

Crutchlow is lucky to have him around for advice and mentoring.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
