Rumour Mill 09/10

I read that Pedrosa's dad/manager is affraid thet Stoner will be favoured by the new Honda team manager (the old Ducati man), and he is using Repsol's new sponsordeal to get equal treatment between the riders, and making Pedrose more equal then Stoner. Having Stroner in the Gresini team with full works support would be the better sollution

The most likely scenario I heard was that all three of Stoner, Pedrosa and Dovi will be Repsol riders basically in their own separate teams with their own management setup to avoid power plays. Repsol are said to have been coerced into stumping up some extra funds.

Josh Brookes has signed with Relentless Suzuki (best racing team name goin around I reckon) for BSB next year. Tommy Hill has signed for the Swan team riding a factory Yamaha and Stuart Easton is back on a Kawasaki at MSS Colchester.

Current Australian Superbike Championship leader, Bryan Staring, is likely to be Pedercini Kawasaki mounted in WSB.

In dirty news, Chad Reed has finally announced his 2011 destination - with his own new team. Reed is forking out his own moola to run TwoTwo Motorsports aboard a Honda and supported by Pro Circuit and Bel Ray. Reed on a Honda vs Dungey on a Suzuki vs Vilopoto on a Kawasaki vs Stewart on a Yamaha = absolute awesomeness and adding the likes of Windham, Milsaps, Brayton, Metcalfe and Pourcel is just unbelievable. It's gonna be fricken tops! pin:

any westy news jack?

It's mega-early days for the BSB, that generally comes together in Jan/Feb as the season begins in April.

I/we can certainly have a crack at WSB as we know quite a bit of that.

The Xaus to Ten Kate has come as a massive shock, to be honest...

Superbike or Superstock is the question!
