    Not sure VDS fired him based on that article. Seems like he hasn't been in touch directly with the boss about it at all, just seeing shit in the press.

    Yeah, though I wouldn’t give them too much credit though as they probably were just trying to do everything on the cheap.
    Yeah, something strange went on though even if he wasn’t fired. I’d think if there were impropriety they’d get a PI and forensic accountants to get real proof and deliver his termination while the cops were hauling him off.

    How would Suzuki doing something with VDS be on the cheap? The team is owned by a Billionaire beer guy and they have strong sponsors.

    and Suzuki doesn't pay them, they pay Suzuki.

    Sandtrap Lowes' girlfriend was the one who tried to get him fired, but it backfired on her and he will be back as team manager in Le Mans.

    She has the same eyes as the golf lady. Definitely a keeper.

    That 'article' doesn't seem one sided at all.

    Golden rule of crisis management, get on the comms front foot and try to take control.

    Well Rins is now resigned and Asparagus 2 is signed for two more years at Aprilia.

    Rins was announced maybe a month ago. Are you talking about another extension?

    IMO Rins hasn't proven much of anything even though I like the guy.

    BigBird blah

    he definitely has. bin it or podium it....most of the former though. probably has Bautista and Crutchlow posters in his room.

    It was assumed months ago, I guess the announcement and signing just took place.

    I swear they were talking about it on Eurosport like they had witnessed the signature. They've been saying for at least the past couple of rounds that it upset Iannone because he is the one with the better results in his teammate was signed first.

    Yeah, I thought it was done months ago as well but maybe the printer was out of ink and they just got the cartridges.

    She probably sabotages his bike in the garage to facilitate his frequent crashes. Some kind of crazy Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy situation.

    Who takes Lorentho's seat at Ducati?

    I'm not convinced he's going anywhere.

    He's currently a back marker at Ducati, who would want him? His ego also wouldn't let him sign a new contract with another new factory for a massive pay cut. It clearly takes a special talent to get the Ducati to work on a regular basis, way too many have failed miserably at the challenge.

    AI trades seats with him?

    That's what should happen. The odds are he'll be a lot happier on the Suzuki . Most probably AI would like to get on the Ducati, too
