QuoteThe familiar Yamaha AMA/MotoAmerica Superbike team won't be in MotoAmerica in 2020.

Yamaha plans to hand the effort off to Richard Stanboli's Attack team which fielded JD Beach in 2019.

Attack will run a two rider effort, with series champion Cameron Beaubier on one bike and presumably Garrett Gerloff on the second, although Gerloff isn't signed as yet.

Ultimately it's always about money. He might be taking less money for the possibility of going back to MotoGP later, where there's more money.

Some tweets responding with reference to Ducatis history of poor rider mgt. I guess you'd have to have a beer with Bautista to know for sure.

I don't think Alvaro will ever go to GP with Honda. There's too much fresh meat in the system for that to happen.

I've been wrong before.

I hope not, as that would qualify as absolutely the dumbest thing he's ever done.
But it would only be a little dumber than this move he's making now.
IMO.

I wasn't thinking a move to Honda in GP would be his decision...

and yeah...he's making a mistake going to Honda in SBK.

Seat open @YamahaWSBK. Garrett Gerloff isn't signed to the Attack/Yamaha yet. He's young enough to make a go there.

Toprak won his first race at Magny-Cours last weekend. [thumbsup]

Sounds like Zarco will be Yamaha's test rider next year. At least Jarvis confirmed that Yamaha has sent him a proposal. I think that would be good for Zarco to be in a good spot to get a ride with Yamaha, satellite or factory, in 2021
