I haven't heard about Stanboli's plans for 2014 but lets assume he's committed to at least the two US Moto GP rounds. Who would you put on the bike?
Cost be damned and the develop it: Mladin. Problem there is the bike would be fast but not everyone could then jump on it and go fast. Others: Spies (if his shoulders are good enough), Tommy Hayden or a few others. The 'stones are the wild card in all this. Tough to find someone who knows their motogp tires outside of someone whose raced there in the last year or two.
When Stamboli got into this wasn't his goal to become a Chassis maker/provider/seller ? Now that the rules changed and at best there may be 1 CRT bike on the grid, would he even bother to pour money into a dead plan? He probably do better making a chassis for the Moto 2 class.
Eboz has been racing dildos for quite a few years now, wonder if he could transition back to testosterone?
Barney would be cool. Danny would push the bike to its limit and still be able to bring it home in one piece, Tommy H would be fast on it, For the no F'ing way award I would like Hayes.
