the FIM regulations do not cover 3 cylinder supersport bikes. The 675 partly homologated to race in open supersport but not world Supersport for 2007. In BSS 3 cylinder bikes are excepted from FIM homologation
I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

Hinkley should be out there lobbying FIM to allow the 675 to compete... Ducati can give him some tips on how to go about it ; )Phantom... Bike Who Parks

Colin Edwards to Ten Kate WSBK?
Rumour has The Texas Tornado meeting with a Honda exec on the weekend of Silverstone and hanging in the Ten Kate hospitality area.
Colin still has a lot to offer, but not in MotoGP. He has only lasted because Rossi 'likes him' and he poses no threat.
Yamaha MotoGP must move toward the future and Colin is not the answer.
However I rate Colin's chances high of winning races immediately in WSBK!

What happened to Alstare's move???
Meanwhile, Honda Gresini's Toni Elias is expected to sign for a new Suzuki satellite team that will be formed for 2008 by Jorge Martinez 'Aspar', Spain's former 80 and 125cc world champion and now a team owner in the 125 and 250cc classes, with Suzuki's former 500cc world champion Kevin Schwantz working as a team advisor. It will be a one-rider team running on Bridgestone tyres like the factory Suzukis, and the launch could be as soon as next weekend at the Catalunya round in Barcelona.

I heard AMA superbike rider Ben Spies might be on a second bike.

It could mean either the manufacturers have come to an agreement over the 1200cc WSB regulations and Alstare/Suzuki will stay there, or there'll be 3 Suzuki teams in GPs.....

It seems so strange that the rumors of riders changing teams/manufacturers etc has started so early in the season. Usually, we must wait until around September to get such juicy information. Maybe they read our forum and they know we need some gossip/rumors to get us posting more

Edwards is not my favourite rider but I am wise enough to know he can compete with those you mention.
I can not explain Edward's results on the MotoGP Yamaha, but I do know anyone riding in Rossi's team is number 2.
Using a cricket term, Edwards is simply holding up an end.
