He gave Crescent second place in the championship. Could have easily been first but for some bad luck. It'd be silly for them not to have a place for him, unless he was so sure he was moving to GP that they've already found another rider.

Hmm. I guess I'd interpreted (misread) that as expanding into WSBK, not moving. I suppose that does leave Hopper without a good fallback.

no other reason...when the music stops...you usually end up scrambling for the left overs if you have no firm plan....and it seems that is what RDP and perhaps Hopper have been left to do...

in other news, this seems to me a more concrete reporting of that which we have previously unconfirmed...

I hate to see Suzuki go. I can see their point from a corporate/financial angle but I have been there watching them from the early 70s. Mamola, Schwantz, Sheene, Lucchinelli, KR Jr. and company... so many great racers and world champions. And they and Bautista were actually hanging in there the last half of this season. Too little too late. Maybe pot smoking is down and Rizla isn't selling enough papers to keep them afloat! laughingdp coffee

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.
