In other news Nanelli has signed for the ?new? Hanspree Althea Honda WSS team (they will also run Rolfo in WSBK next year) and it is expected Craig Jones will be the third rider in the team, alongside Nanelli in WSS...
Yes and he will do great too!! Go Roby!! :s mokin:Quote:

I asked about this in the wsb 2008 thread. as far as I know the team are called Althea Honda because they are sponsored by Ceramica Althea.
as for Leon Camier and continuing at BikeAnimal Honda, BikeAnimal is essentially a 3rd HRC bike, will they be able to continue now that HRC is decreasing its involvement in BSB?
It's moderately quiet so far for BSB 2008 news, the season doesn't start til next April after all!
We've had Leon Haslam and Cal Crutchlow confirmed at HM Plant...everything else is wait and see for now. MCN has plenty of rumour and conjecture but it's all up in the air for now.
One rumour currently doing the rounds is that Chris Walker will be joining Katsuaki Fujiwara riding the Gil Kawasakis [that's the team Foret and Riba rode for this year] in World Supersport.
