WSBK | 2023 | Silly Season

Davies won some in 2013, and then it was a drought until last year (although it was a Superpole race...does that still count?).

 

Depends on the ride, the paycheck and the mindset.

 

Not really, who wants to sit around while they clean up bagger droppings

 

If you had an Italian passport, you'd be going into witness protection right now.

 

Lmao why?

 

Yeah, I guess that counts. I totally forgot about Davies on the BMW.

 

Did you see what happened here when Petrucci criticized MotoAmerica?

 

Oh I gotchaim not afraid of these people

 

In potentially related news. Finally made official.

https://www.worldsbk.com/en/news/2022/Gagne returns to WorldSBK with wildcard at Portimao

 

That’s pretty cool. :up:

 

what's the over under on the MA crew doing better than the BSB crew in the wildcard arena

 

Pumped for Jake and Attack! Is Cam also going?

 

I would say a little better. Realistically a 10th would be great. anything more and you are beating established teams with very good riders. I think 12-14 is an ambitious, yet realistic goal.

Here’s an example. Who can they beat? Vierge will be higher than on this day, so there is real talent up there.

 

I hope HRC retains them boys next year. I dig Iker and I think Xavi's just had bad luck.

 

I was hoping GG could go to HRC, in lieu of that, hope they keep what they have as you said.

 

My guess is no. He clearly isn't on Jake's level. I heard HSBK is trying to get Petrux there too. Maybe they could cost share with Attack?

 

VDM is only signed for a year and I can see him retiring after the heavy hits he's taken with the new kid. GG would be smart to take Laverty's ride and go for the factory with some good results.

 

Oh that would be fun! Wonder if Petrux could finally beat Jake?? (I'd bet you he would)

 

Rumorsssssssssssssssssssss;

Gerloff to Bonovo or Gerloff to Puccetti
Gagne to Yamaha - Either GRT or the new team, GMT94

Gagne has another year contract in MA so he can decline if he dosent want to go back over

 

Zero contact there.
