Ant said on an interview on the MotoGP coverage today that the new bike (ie. frame) should be a lot lighter, that the current bike handles quite well but is just too heavy and it costs them a lot on acceleration.
Ant is one of the few lucky ones in Moto2 who is paid to ride by MZ, I wonder if the Marc VDS Racing offer does the same.
where did you hear the interview ?Quote:

On One. He was interviewed by Steve Parrish.
Forgot to mention how jealous I am of Pantah Jack's trip to Sepang. :devil: Hope it's a ripper (and dry). :up:
Wet is OK too. Especially the way Casey smashed them in the wet last year. 15 sec lead after 10 laps ..... ;)Quote:

No good. Particularly difficult in the current financial climate, I can understand why teams value riders who can bring extra resources to their tight budgets. Makes it difficult for riders without much backing.

Teams are quoting the same prices to guys that couldn't win a local club race. (i assume the likes of Faubel, etc)
Our sport is in the **** pan. Should've chosen golf mate (I wish I did sometimes).
Sepang was HOT.. The weather was really HOT!!Quote:
