#1 Post by This old RZ » Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:31 pm

1.) Marlboro is going to pull its funding and backing for Ducati, citing unacceptable results.

2.) BMW , WILL NOT RACE IN WSBK there withdrawing from WSBK racing

3.) Nicky Hayden has been fired.

4.) Suzuki decided NOT to re enter MOTO GP next year

5.) Very probable that NO Americans will be riding in MOTO GP next year.

6.) Casey Stoner is testing HONDAS new MOTOGP bike to help develop it [smilie=ohmy.gif] [smilie=ohmy.gif]

First I have heard of BMW pulling out. And just when they seem to finally be having some success.

I heard Spies has a contract with Pramac Ducati for next year.

Nicky's best bet would be a factory Panigale in WSBK. At least he'd be fighting for wins and a championship rather than just riding around mid pack.

if only the panigale was able to run better then mid-pack in WSBK..... i would be happy to see him in superbike though.
