    So, Rossi back to Yamaha, Spies to Ducati and crutchlow left with a terminal case of cock in mouth disease with Tech 3.

    If all that happens I'll at least have some fun on the Brit BBSs. :crackup:

    Yamaha will have to sign someone "big". Got to make up for the loss of Yamaha US dollars that the motogp team will lose.

    Hayden to factory Yamaha! (read that on the BBS at some point and it's no more f@cked up than the rest of the shit going on this silly season). :D

    I doubt it is a curveball. It is Negative PR for Yamaha the way it is written using "litany of reasons" and that he hates to leave a couple of people at Yamaha(but not most?).

    I wouldn't be surprised if it is Dovi and Jorge on one team, Rossi on his own team, Cal and Brad Smith at Tech 3 with Brad riding a CRT.

    Silly season just turned into FULL RETARD season.

    Hell, maybe Ben is joining EBoz????

    Ben saying he's going where he belongs leads me to think back to SBK. Speculating.... BMW or Suzuki. I would like to see him back in SBK (a much better series IMHO) on a competetive machine battling for the lead in a pack.

    Only allowed to have 4 "factory" bikes on the grid.

    Missed the CRT. Too quick to reply not enough time reading.
     
  14. ed who?

    ed who? the opposite of eharmony.

    bmw italia wsbk my guess.

    Personally i am sure we will hear excuses on both sides...i just he lost the drive this season (yes some im sure was caused by clearly being #2 on the team and the teams/manf fault) but i think he's better suited on sbk's anyways, no shame in that IMO...did anyone watch BRNO WSBK last wknd?? WAYYY more exciting than any Moto GP race this year..


    *then again he could as a friend pointed out be headed back to Suzuki to debut the new GSXR1000 cross plane in WSBK.... pair him with Camier on a GOOD bike and they might shock a few folks...

    In a perfect world, I'd love to see Spies, Hayden and Edwards all go back to WSBK. Think that would make an awesome racing season.

    I have a feeling that Ben might not have been receiving updates before Dovi or Cal and Big Momma might not have been too happy about that. That's just me throwing shit on the wall though.

    He absolutely loves cycling more than anything and I would not be surprised to see him walk away for that. However, I'd be really bummed to see someone of his talent leave that soon. On the other hand, Ben's been a millionaire since he was 18 and kicked some massive ass, so he's obviously entitled to whatever he wants to do.

    Red Bull Suzuki MotoGP ran by Kevin Schwantz and ridden by Colin Edwards and Ben Spies...

    Actually, Monster Yosh Suzuki WSBK team with Hayes and Spies. Hayes is trying to get the US team to go WSBK.

    I think Yosh Suzuki too, since he said back where he belongs.

    Good for Ben. I hope he finds continued success in where ever he is going.

    Care to elaborate?


    Hadn't heard that Suzuki was looking to copy Yamaha's design, in fact I thought they patented it?

    Bitch move before he got canned ... IMO

    I believe I said he wouldn't be with yamaha next year awhile ago and got the typical wera board beating because of it ....... Hmmm maybe all the people that disagreed because I'm a nobody and they know everything should listen every once in awhile


    Blah Blah let it rip
