    CB186 go f@ck yourself

    I don't think Olivera has done anything to secure a move to the factory team. Sure, he's had a decent season, but nothing groundbreaking.

    The promotion might be debatable. Lying about the offer is reprehensible.

    They interviewed Herve and he said the same thing as KTM, that Olivera was offered the factory team and he turned it down. I assume he is just going with what KTM told him. Pretty bizarre

    Herve was kicking and screaming about not wanting to let Olivera go to the Factory team, so I'm going to have to call bullshit here. It's in Herve's best interest to have Olivera in his team over two rookies, so obviously he's going to stick to the company line.

    Looks like Honda, Yamaha and Duc all running 4 factory bikes next year. Very cool.

    Suzuki might go with one factory bike, and in general . After all, they got the wins they were planning to get.

    :crackup:

    I laughed my ass off. Still laughing. It’s so true. I don’t get those guys and never have. They made a great bike but a few wins here and there seem to be enough for them. Rins is a beast, I hope he can get to a team that’s actually committed.

    Down sizing is a big deal right now with them. JGRMX is getting hit on their program here in the states because of the new CEO.

    Unfortunately Nakagami will be on a year old bike again next season.

    He's smart enough to know what makes that bike win. He held out on signing his contract until the last moment because he did not want to be on that bike.

    You can't really say that because it's the only bike he's dominated on. Also Honda agrees with me :D.

    Ahhhh. So he’s getting Marquez’s now bike. My bad. I was thinking 4 full factory bikes.

    ummm if it were the bike there’d be 4 Hondas in the top 4 championship positions and they’d be fighting each other for wins every week...who else has won a race on a Honda this year?

    Until he’s leading laps at every race, he’s as delusional as the rest.
