Must have a LT lease on that beach-house...... I'm glad he's staying put. I've been completely out of the loop re next year. Whats the abbreviated riders list, class-structure, list of race meets etc??? Is it gonna suck ass or kick ass?
Chip, until I read it on RRW and see him on the grid at the tire test, I have doubts. Even then, until the Daytona opener, I'd still have doubts. I heard today again that the Ducati Northwest 200 team in BSB is a "strong" possibility.
The only known factory lineup right now is Yamaha with Bboz and Hayes on superbikes and Herrin and Aquino on sportbikes.
honda cut their budget bigtime. hodgson will be the only rider for big red next season. no more dickhead duhamel.:up:
I thought he was going to BSB. guess I heard wrong. too bad that Honda wasnt smart enough to bump up Hayes, who in my opinion is as good a rider if not better but with waaay more ambition. Dont get me wrong, I like Neil, but to me it just seems he's in retirement/riding around for a paycheck mode
yes hayes has deserved a ride on a factory SB for a few years honda has been retarded not to put him on 1 but i think he's better off on the 09 R1 anyway if spies's test times are any indication of what the new R1 is capable of hayes is makin out
