Loris confirms Suzuki move
Loris has reportedly confirmed his switch to Suzuki for next year.
Hopefully he can have a better year than 2007.

Poor choice for Suzuki, Capirex won't be on par with the one who he replaces there (i.e. John Hopkins). Suzuki raced two young guns, inconsistent - true, and now they brought an outdated & inconsitent rider.

i think a bad move for suzi, id like to see some younger guys coming into moto gp ,but they might be thinking he could help with some finer details to setting the bike up... i hope it works for them..

I think Loris is an excellent choice for Suzuki. He is a proven bike developer, capable of winning races and is still hungry for sucess. Whilst it would have been good to see someone like Dovizioso progress from 250 they still have plenty of time and it would have been silly for any team to ignore the chance of signing a rider as talented as Loris.

Great choice by Loris, but bad choice by Suzuki. They should bring in someone younger who could be in the team for a long time IMO

I'd agree with Carl. The big prize has eluded Loris thus far and Im sure that hes as hungry as ever and as much of a tryer as ever.

I was really interested to see what you thought Jim, cause you're a Zook fan aren't ya? My brother is a big Suzuki follower and he is really disappointed that they signed Capirossi. I actually think it is a really positive move and I reckon that Loris will fast. Even if he isn't consistently at the pointy end, I think that Capirex will also be a real positive influence for Vermeulen that could really see him move to the next level and start pushing for regular dry weather podiums. Time will tell I suppose.

a foolish move this one
Caprix is getting too old now, and I am sure that Vermulen will be faster than him next yearSubaru World Rally champion...in 2008 :D
