Ant said on an interview on the MotoGP coverage today that the new bike (ie. frame) should be a lot lighter, that the current bike handles quite well but is just too heavy and it costs them a lot on acceleration.
Ant is one of the few lucky ones in Moto2 who is paid to ride by MZ, I wonder if the Marc VDS Racing offer does the same.

Wet is OK too. Especially the way Casey smashed them in the wet last year. 15 sec lead after 10 laps .....

No good. Particularly difficult in the current financial climate, I can understand why teams value riders who can bring extra resources to their tight budgets. Makes it difficult for riders without much backing.

damian cudlin left his two cents worth:

It's a joke isn't it...
Teams are quoting the same prices to guys that couldn't win a local club race. (i assume the likes of Faubel, etc)
Our sport is in the **** pan. Should've chosen golf mate (I wish I did sometimes).
