    I posted about Alstare and Ten Kate moving to MotoGP a while back when the rumors first appeared

    As I said then, I think this is more of the Teams trying to pass their message that they don't like the 1200cc rules
    I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

    hi ChrisS, nice to see you back

    They maybe in two hard options, being displeased with the new rule 1200 cc of superbike, or joining the tighter competition of todays motogp.

    Francis said that Biaggi is better than the two current suzuki motogp riders, This sounded like they don't want to run another team than the existing.

    Let's wait for what's next then.

    Who is Francis? CV has already proved himself in WSB lets not forget, he dominated the second half of '05 and was only narrowly beaten by Troy Corser. Max is doing OK but he's not dominating WSB the way CV, or Bayliss, did.

    I think Biaggi can do well with the 800's, we know he's got high cornerspeed

    Don't forget this is a more competitive championship than 2005!

    CV also took til the second half of the year to really become competitive.

    Max has had his time in GP. Time for him to disappear gracefully out of racing in WSB and let the new order take MotoGP into the future.
