Is there any factory support behind Sterilgarda? If not Biaggi is going to be severely handicapped.Quote:

There's no way Biaggi would have signed if it wasn't a full factory spec bike, given his love for equal equipment.Quote:

WSS: Aitchison and Clementi Line Up for Triumph Italia BE1 Racing
Triumph Italia BE1 Racing have secured the services of Mark Aitchison, one of the most promising young riders on the international scene, for the 2008 World Supersport season. Aitchison was runner up in the 2006 Australian Supersport Championship before moving to Superstock in 2007, where he finished fifth.
Mark will compete alongside expert Ivan Clementi, who returns to World Supersport after a season riding the Triumph Italia BE1 Daytona 675 in the Italian championship, finishing with a second place in the final race of the season.
from racergp:-
"A telephone call received a few minutes ago with his Salvatore Giorlandino, team manager of Team Honda Althea in Superbike and Supersport, I confirmed the final formation of his team in the World Supersport.
Alongside Gianluca Nannelli will be the English Tommy Hill and not Craig Jones as a first time seemed, Hill other young pilot from BSB who played with the Yamaha R1 Team Virgin Yamaha UK and some appearances in the World Supersport Yamaha Germany, run in stable plant in World Supersport with the formation Roman looks one of the most aggressive.
The agreement reached a few minutes ago at Rome where Salvatore Giorlandino met with the English pilot, obviously happy the agreement, Giorlandino now as he himself confirmed to me over the phone start is now preparing the team for the first tests in order to be ready for what probably will be one of the issues most competitive of the World Supersport."
Wonder what that means for Craig Jones? Stobart Honda?
The rumours are that Jones is with a different Honda team in WSS, with more HRC backing.
