The SPEED broadcast was Johnathan Greene and Steve Martin as the announcers whom BTW were batting around that Checa had been in talks with Kawasaki to be seated alongside Sykes...
guess that door is closed and up in smoke... http://www.motomatters.com/press_release/2012/09/26/wsbk_news_baz_confirmed_alongside_sykes_.html |

Good for Baz!! Nothing like new, talented young blood to spark up the grid next year. And as much as I like Ducs I am groovin' on the success that Sykes is having with the Kwaker.  Makes me proud to be the owner of an original KZ1000R Lawson Replica and a modern water pumper ZRX1000R... all in Kawi green of course, the fastest color!  |

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.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Interesting: Dorna must discuss about technical rules with MSMA before a decision is made. We have a five year contract with Dorna(2012-2016) and it has detailed clauses. With this contract, Dorna cannot do anything unless we agree. |

WTF? More than killing prototype racing, they would be butchering WSBK. I have no answers for trying to keep the costs down in GP, but saying that no innovations trickle down from GP to production is simply incorrect. |

Butchering SBK might be on the cards. Saw an article in Ozmcn (quoting Carmello E) that indicates there may be a move to push SBK back down toward Superstock specs. Again for cost reasons and to get SBK back to its production roots. He seemed to be saying that there could be an emphasis on factory supported private teams like Ten Kate in SBK and prototype full factory teams in Moto GP. With SBK breathing down the neck of Moto GP in so many ways its probably designed to take the pressure off Moto GP. Nakamoto liked the idea.

It seemed to be a plan to free up resources from SBK to get the factories back into Moto GP with the possibility of luring BMW and Aprilia into Moto GP. We can only hope this makes the CRTs disappear.

I don't see Aprilia moving to full blown MotoGP. I think they're happy with their performance in WSBK and leading the CRT parade. I think they're even happier that they can consistently beat the satellite Ducs.
