Ant was also fastest in FP1 and FP2 both of which were wet sessions.Quote:

It's just not fair.. Poor Ant he does his very best every time not like some..
Well he is equal on points with his team-mate and only 3 behind Melandri.Quote:

But, I do hope he doesn't go to Kawasaki in WSBK as they are uncompetitive. Instead I hoped that rumours of Corser heading to BMW will open an RI door which is a possibility but that could also depend on how Yamaha feel about the split in 07.

i wonder what, if any, leverage ant may have to negotiate a good wsbk superbike ride. if kwack are serious about landing him there, is that a good thing for negotiations with other teams or bad? in other words, will kwack try to force a commitment from ant to kwack in sbk before he finishes out the season and has an opportunity to negotiate with other sbk teams?
The main leverage a rider has is past results and what they can bring to a team. At least for Ant it appears he has a guaranteed ride on a factory Kwak (where he will be paid, not the other way around) that he can weigh all other options up against.Quote:

Oh wait, I'm dreaming again! :D
Funnily enough, i've been having very similar dreams of late.. ;)Quote:
