There is no way in hell Biaggi will be in MotoGP next year.. D'antin (not D'artin :s ) will have Guintoli and either DeAngelis/Elias/Barros/Aoyama/Davies(darkest of dark horses) riding for them in 2008..

It wouldn't be the Alstare team proper, rather the bike Max Neukirchner is currently on. From what I've heard if Suzuki Spain back to program then Fonsi's a goer. If Suzuki Spain don't back it, Suzuki Germany will and Max should stay. (That is if Fonsi wants to leave Kawasaki)Quote:

Carlos Checa is probably in at Ten Kate. Honda like him and were very happy with his ride in the Suzuka 8-Hour so Ten Kate is the most likely I'd imagine.
Also, Caracchi has announced they will part with Ducati in 2008 (after something like 25 years) and will run two or three Triumph's in World Supersport.
In GP's I've heard Mika Kallio has resigned with KTM. This follows a punchup he and some friends and mechanics had after a night out in Misano. Not sure who they were fighting but I heard Mika won. ;)
I read about Caracchi and Triumph too, a new manufacturer and a new engine configuration (triple) is always a good thing if they are competitive.

the 675 isnt world supersport homologated for 2007, but I guess they homologated it for 2008
Must have been some night out!!Quote:

hodson staying put in AMA superbikes for another two years with honda
Mach24 posted about Hodgson a few days ago, the odd thing about American Honda's lineup (and something Crash.net didn't bother to include) is they kept DuHamel. he is 200+ years old and recovering from serious injury, couldnt they find a better rider?
I remembered Poggiali and did a search do see what he was up to
his website has an article titled "Poggiali e Pasini in 250 nel 2007" and dated 04/09/2007 Link
using my very little italian and a translator it seems to say that Poggiali and Pasini will ride for Polaris World Aprilia next year in 250cc.
anyone has any idea about this?
Yeah I agree. I assumed they were going to keep Zemke whilst DuHamel went to an ambassadorial role.Quote:

On an Italian forum I visit there has been renewed interest in the Poggi thread, all in Italian I might add. So maybe...I'll try to get a translation..Quote:
