It looks like Tony Elias is going to WSB and taking Troy Corser's ride at Yamaha... A bit of a shame, It takes one of the more exciting riders out of GP's.

And puts him into a series that's far more interesting and fun to watch IMHO.

Ducati N.A. must be salviating over Hayden's impending signing. With him on a Duc, sales should stay strong or get even stronger. Unless he's the 2nd comming of Marco Melandri...

I agree 100%, but that is my point. MotoGP needs to be making an effort to get exciting and crazy nutters like Tony Elias to race in their series, otherwise it might just become too dry or like the Yoshimura Suzuki show... er... AMA Superbike, that's it.

Yeah, but Elias is already in GP and it hasn't stopped Stoner and Rossi from pulling an AMA Superbike. 


Interesting tidbit in that article about Spies ending up on a Honda.  I'd much rather than than him with Rizla.  For some reason I feel if Spies ends up on the Suzuki he'll be the 2nd coming of Hopper.

They can always promote Hector Barbera to the 800's for some entertainment  Evil

I can't wait for Nicky to get on the Duc.  While I'm not one to subscribe to the line of thought that he's a dirt tracker, and Casey is a dirt tracker, so he'll go well on it.  Just excited to see him leave HRC.  Whether or not he can ride the Ducati doesn't matter to me.  I'm just glad to see him leave HRC.

...just as long as Ducati writes his post-race interviews for him and doesn't let him go off-script  Grin

worried about marco.  i think he needs to be back on a honda.  but i'm glad he's going somewhere...

nicky and HRC are just a bad marriage and it's become a habit.  i agree, even if the duc doesn't work out, he needs to get out of there.  and i think he's still plenty hungry enough; if he gets a small passionate crew behind him (and pete benson??).. and some bridgestones.. he's at least going to look like he's having fun out there again.  he's one of those riders (like a lot of american riders, actually) that when he's in a good mindset he gets results.  he hasn't been there since 2006.  time to change something.
