There's an interview on
www.bikesportnews.com where Birdy pretty much admits he's sticking two fingers up to Grinner and Shakey. One quote is:
Bird said: “I was absolutely flabbergasted at the way they treated the team. All of the mechanics and crew had worked so hard to give them results this year and they just turned their backs on us.
“They don’t care. It’s just another pay cheque to them. This is how they repaid us for all of our hard work.
“I just had to have the last laugh. I bet both of them are kicking themselves now. We’re going to World Superbikes and they’re not.”
Which pretty much says it all. It'll be fantastic to have them in WSBK, they did really well in BSB. Stalker won't be with them, he's riding a Kwaka in WSS, but there are a lot of rumours about Lavilla signing for them.
theres no right or wrong here, fellas. theres only fans that want wrc to be in a better place. we may have different views on what could be better but in the end this is a world championship were...
