    I understand that. I am referring to the net change of riders in WSBK. Laverty and Nozane are leaving series, Aegerter and Gardner are new. Separately, I don’t know if/how GG’s move will impact his results.

    GG pulls his head out of his ass he can take VDM's factory seat for 24' since Michael only signed a 1 year deal. I don't see VDM staying in WSBK after 23' with his injuries and new kid.

    They don't want him. He staying because Aruba.it wants him.

    Regardless, he's on the best bike on the grid and it will allow him to fight at the top next year.

    He will still be behind Rea, Redding and Bautista. There are plenty of riders who would likely do better in that seat IMO.

    I'm not the one saying it. It's coming from people close to the situation.

    Oh, I have no doubt and didn’t think it was just you saying it. It reads as if it was a complete Dick Punch (once again not from you).

    Yeah, I thought that sounded pretty brutal. But that's how the guy said it.

    Why does Aruba.it want Rinaldi? Specifically over Bassani, but also in general. Rinaldi seems like a good enough guy. I don’t see Bassani, or anyone else currently in WSBK, as a meaningful step up so sticking with him seems like a safe move. On tje other hand, pulling someone from MotoGP or Moto2 would have been a bolder move with great potential upside.

    He wont be behind Redding and if you've been watching, he getting closer and closer to the top. a little more consistency and he could be in the mix for 3rd in the chip. We will have to watch and see.

    That'll be cool IMO.

    The MA page will be going nuts every time there's a WSBK round. I'm predicting the following headline: "Former MA stars Garrett Gerloff and Loris Baz race together this weekend in World Superbike Championship".

    I don't understand why Pucetti is trying to bring back Tom Sykes. He seems to have about as much left in the tank as Adrian Peterson.

    Same.

    Then again how long did WSBK keep Haslam around after his prime?

    Another complete mystery to me. And I remember reading recently that there are talks of him possibly going back again! I can't remember if that was linked to the same ride.
