Touch wood, but Shinya and others will be his competition...
Ever heard the name Shinya Nakano?Quote:

He supposedly left on good terms with Kawasaki though. Plus he got Kawasaki's only podium in MotoGP.
Going to be a tight one. If Ant can get a solid result at Misano he must be favourite. Kawasaki have been known to make some strange selection choices in the past though.
Nakkers got Kwaks only dry podium (which counts for more). Jacque got one as well.
You're right about Kawasaki's decision making. Not only is it often strange but usually poor. However, Shinya back on Bridgies on the 800 that suits his 250 style more than the 990's may be competitive. My completely biased opinion is that team green should sign Ant. As Jake said, Shinya showed no faith in them by leaving at the end of last year. Let him head to D'Antin.
Yes, I forgot about OJ - easily done after how poor he was in all the dry races
I think Nakano's virtually a certainty for Kawasaki if he's available. He was their golden boy for years. I don't blame him for moving to Honda, he thought he was moving onwards and upwards.
MCN is reporting that Ant has got the deal with Kawasaki for 08 !
Good job for him. Not official yet but if MCN is accurate and I think they usually are then its a done deal.
MCN's approach to news reporting is: if there are no news, we will make up some. ;) that said they also get a lot of things rightQuote:
