Yeah, Rossi loves it, or is great at marketing. I always liked Hayden and was planning on him marrying one of my daughters, but it didn't work out.
Pedro has actually smiled this season, OMG! The meds must be working.. Grin

Nicky's not married yet, right? Still hope!

Sylvain must've struck a plea bargain, he's only served a year of hard labor on the Fireblade, and now he's free.

And maybe this isn't quite the right thread, but a big 'make the beast with two backs YEAH!' to Jonathan Rea.  waytogo  applause
He's served a 10 year sentence on the Fireblade, survived, and climbed on a competitive ride and kicked ass.

I'm sure that Guintoli took the 1 year pay day and ran as soon as something else came up. With the new rules, the R1 should be very competitive on day one.

One side effect of Guintoli signing for Yamaha is that it leaves a seat open alongside Michael van der Mark in the Pata Honda squad. That seat will now be hotly contested, especially as Aprilia have also announced they will not be fielding a factory team. That could be an interesting prospect for Nicky Hayden, who looks to be out of MotoGP next year. American Honda would be keen to see Hayden remain with the brand, and Dorna are keen to have an American racing in World Superbikes. Though 2016 will be a tough year on the CBR1000RR, with a new bike due for 2017, that would open an interesting perspective.

Poor Nicky. I'd hate to see him on the fireblade. Ducati should have offered him a spot on the WSBK team instead of letting him go

I thought they did but he turned it down to stay in GP?

Agreed though, he has no chance on the CBR.

I might be wrong. I just don't remember them giving him a real offer.

He should go home, heal up, train hard and go get that Mile win.

As a public affairs person, that doesnt squash the rumors... just says, nothing for 2017 and nothing approved beyond that, but 2018 and unapproved projects are possible at this point. I can neither confirm nor deny officially....

I can't see a future where they don't go to a 4 cylinder superbike unless they decide to drop out of WSBK. What's the point of having a MotofGP bike (prototype) and not apply what you've learned from it to a street bike?

What tech has Honda transferred from their MotoGP bikes to their street bikes?
