It's shaping up to be a cracker year of racing particularly in the WSBK and BSB series'..............frustrating waiting for time to pass just like the kids in the back seat on a trip.......................you know... those ankle- biters who keep asking "Are we there yet?" or "How far have we got to go?"
PS.....My son found the cure for that...........He always takes a bag of sweets with him on trips and promises that the kids can have them on arrival at the destination but warns them that every time one of them asks one of those questions, he will throw one of the sweets out of the window.
Looks like Hopper has an opportunity to ride in the AMA Superbike Series. Crash.net reports that he is testing the Suzuki GSX-R1000 for M4Hammer team.
...Yet FB Corse are still saying that he will ride for them in the MotoGP class this year. Both rides leave him on a hiding to nothing imo. :(Quote:

Both lists are a few down on last year (although WSB isn't by much compared with the end of last year and I expect another couple to show up pre-season). WSS has dropped a fair few after the collapse of Stiggy, plus CRS and Althea moving all their efforts up, Moto2 coming in with a huge entry list and the general economic downturn. Still, with 18 bikes provisionally announced you might see some people crawling out of the woodwork at the last minute with a decent chance of points.
Smart alec me cracked a joke some time back about Willie Nelson racing on a Lambretta.............well guess what..........no Willie but a Lambretta 125 racebike now exists.

After 60 brand Lambretta back racing in the World Championship. La Casa Italian will in fact be the way of the 125 GP with Romagnolo Mark Ravaioli, while as a second pilot would be Luis Salom. The historic brand will replace former team Loncin, and will be managed by Nicola Casadei, man of the Engine Engineering of Bologna Alberto Strazzari. To these are also alongside Giancarlo Cecchini, who for the occasion held the job of head of engine development.
Since 1972 the Lambretta owner has changed several times. It was sold off to some Indian entrepreneurs in 2003 but has risen (through "royalty") in the hands of an American corsorzio, while in 2007 it was ceded to Italy Motom spa.
"It's a historic day for the brand Lambretta, for which we have worked nearly two years," said John Scully, Director of Marketing Lambretta. "We are pleased to be back on track and compete in a sport so exciting and rapidly expanding. It will be fun to compete with larger and enjoy the show. We are determined to do well and especially to develop new technologies that we hope will be not only winning on the track but mainly be used in mass production in order for Lambretta scooters that are the most innovative in the marketplace. "
Nicola Casadei of Engines Engineering Director and Team Manager will be the Lambretta racing department, with great personal satisfaction and the whole team. "Our pilots are excited to run with Lambretta and share the dream that may soon again become as big as the legendary '60s and '70s."
