World Superbikes and Supersport 2007
Here's my outline list for WSB 2007:
Xerox Ducati - Bayliss & Lanzi
Caracchi Ducati - ??
Sterilgarda Ducati - Xaus & ?? (Iannuzzo??/Giovanni Bussei?)
Pedercini Ducati - Dean Ellison & ?? (Clementi??)
Foggy Ducati?? (Hodgson?? & ??)
Alstare Suzuki - Biaggi & Kagayama
Alstare Engineering Suzuki - Neukirchner??
Celani Suzuki - Alessandro Polita
Yamaha Italia - Haga & Corser
Yamaha France - Nakatomi & ??
PSG-1 Kawasaki - Nieto & Laconi
Ten Kate Honda - Toseland & Rolfo
Klaffi Honda - ?? & ??
DFX Honda - Fabrizio & Martin
Bertocchi Honda - Brookes & Muggeridge
Any other new teams/WSS teams moving up, although I think all the WSS riders are bizarrely staying there so far.
Riders probably looking for work or possible: Pitt, Hodgson, Neukirchner, Craig Jones, and others.
Riders who have retired: Frankie Chili (to be DFX manager), Norick Abe (to be a development rider in Japan), Marco Borciani (to manage Sterilgarda Ducati without riding anymore)."Of course, what many people tend to forget is that Glen Richards was 2nd in the 1993 Australian 125cc championship" - Jack Burnicle on BSB at Snetterton, June 2008

The WSB silly season gets a little sillier. Neil Hodgson is blaming Troy Bayliss for his current unemployment saying that Bayliss didn't want a competitive teammate. It is being reported that Neil Hodgsons last option is the unconfirmed Foggy team as Klaffi are to sit out WSB in 2007 due to failure to secure required sponsors.

Bayliss blacklisting Hodgson may be true,
I dont think the reason for it is that Bayliss is afraid though, I think its simply because they dont like each otherI got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

Which I think is fair enough, but it might be incompatible with having two ex champions in the garage..."

Yeah Hodgson is a sook but I guess I can understand it being in his situation. I guess the moral of the story is to sign for a good team when you have a contract in your lap.
Also, Bayliss finished fastest at end-of-season tests at Qatar but was quick to play down his chances of retaining his title. His concerns stem from Ducati having to continue with the 999 next year but have pretty much reached the end of development with the bike whereas the others are catching up. Sounds like things could be even more exciting next year to me.
In other news, 23 year old Aussie Mark Aitchison has signed to ride with the Celani Italia Suzuki in World Superstock. Aitchison finished 2nd in the Aus Supersport championship on an R6 so it will be interesting to see how he goes.Get off my lawn
