He's young enough.

If that's the case why not announce that though?

my guess (hope) is language in his current two year contract.

i guess we'll know for sure at the end of 2014.

either way, he's won championship(s) against some of the best racers in the world. that's nothing to be ashamed of.  Grin

Posted it on the Ben Spies thread. Probably a way for all parties to close the contract. He probably knows he won't be fit for most of the year.

"Wanna say thanks to everyone for the support on this decision. It was a hard one, but now I understand when they say you know when the time has come. I always dreamed of getting paid to race a motorcycle for a living. Everything else along the way was a bonus, racing gave me so many friends and experiences of traveling the world. I hope I was able to contribute something back to the sport and will continue to do so. Thanks everyone" - Ben Spies

Nearly ironclad confirmation that Edwards and A. Espargaro will be on privateer M1 bikes at Forward Racing.

While the loss of Gigi was a helluva a big deal, he didn't do it all alone...

Now if a chunk of the engineering folks go over with Gigi...well then I completely agree with you.

this was apparently a picture posted on Twitter by Nick Hayden of his helmet for the post season Valencia test on the Aspar Honda RCV1000R...




I think it is just the energy and enthusiasm that Nicky is known for and will more than likely use, and frames perfectly his motivation !!!

I have no doubt that Nicky wants to bloody Ducati's nose by riding the wheels off that RCV...
And I hope he really does.

That's gonna crimp Rossi's style.

Who could he get as a replacement?
