I find it really odd, and honestly crummy, that Xavi doesn't have a good ride after crushing everyone on the V2 last season.
Yeah I get that part of it. It’s akin to Yamaha picks Gagne and Peterson, not Stanboli making the pics. But be it Ducati or Warhorse and a combo of both parties, it’s still a kick in niblets that Xavi is left without a chair now that the music has stopped. And kinda surprising for Ducati if it was all their call. Us guineas tend to be pretty loyal people.
I don't really like Josh doing the street squid stuff, but it does keep him in the public eye. He's very easy to get along with in person, in my limited experience.

Superbike stacked, supersport stacked. Twins looks like a bit of a transition year as riders moved on. Jr Cup, I haven't heard much news. I think this is the last year with a replacement class coming in for 2025.
He’s been riding the CW Moto R1. He’s been solid and fast on it. Chris has given him a good bike to ride
100%. Ducati runs there race program differently than most teams. You buy the bike, then there are different levels of the support which you can get (pay for). If you want the full monty, then that comes with their influence in rider(s) selection. Honestly there's no reason for Warhorse to be in Supersport with Rahal fielding three riders. The interesting time will be 2025 when you will possibly have 2 major teams in SBK on Ducati's.
Supposedly Cam and JD will be at Homestead this weekend testing the Tytlers bikes. I'll follow them around and get some footage on the go pro for you guys.
