Do they mean *one* bike?

Or just a one rider team?

All WSBK riders do the 2 bikes method, yes?

OK, yeah, that's what I thought.

I'm sure spare parts are going to be hard to come by....

How does that work, anyway?

Are there a couple spare chassis and such included in the typical contract with the factory?
And if your rider wades through that before season end it's on the team to buy more?

okay...so that leaves open on the table...Fabrizio, Xaus, Toseland, Max N., and whom else?...

Batta has a seat open...seems if Ten Kate gets sponsorship sorted out he might have a 2nd seat...

you're assuming sylvain doesn't get it?  or did he get a ride somewhere that i haven't paid attention to

i really hope that jt and ten kate get back together and that he can ride like it's 2007.

Oops, that's not good. Tardozzi fired? Banned from the BMW pit at Magny Cour? Letting all non-German crew members on the team go? This has got Third Reich deja vu written all over it! I felt that the BMW WSBK team did as well as they did this year in part because of Tardozzi. And there I was feeling all warm and cozy for Haslam since he just signed with them. Surprised they'd let English speaking racers sit on their bikes. Hey... where's that Max Neukirchner guy? laughingdp

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

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."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
