Well looks like Max's team mate will be Shinya Nakano, this is a good signing I think, cos he is a great development rider. :thumbup
 
I agree he will help move the performance forward and develop a new motor for our new model Tuono to combat that Ducati Street Fighter
 
Nakano should be a solid rider.

Let's hope Max can last without bitching and crashing every five seconds. I'm a Max fan, but it's time to start winning or at least finish second.

I can't wait for next year, it's already shaping up as a great season and overshadows the boring MotoGP with it's almost minimal entry size field. The only thing (other than total Ozy domination) that will float my boat about MotoGP will be to watch Pedrobot continually crash or be beaten.
 
I agree Deyago no personality seems like a sook everytime you see him on camera..
I think he's got the short man syndrome, now im not saying that due to my 6 "1" but he is so boring im happy when he well back in the field & struggling....
Bugger can ride like the wind thou got to give credit where its due.....
Lets hope for closer racing and more winners plus another 10 entrants would help!!
 
I think that for the moment Moto GP is dead in the water, wot with the 250 mess as well, there ae rumours of only 10 bikes next year in 250.
WSB seems to be where its at for next year, there are gonna be 7 full factory teams next year, along with all the privaters... a packed grid indeed... and the year after should see the inculsion of KTM (if they can find some more speed) and MV (if they can find some money :lol)
Also there are lots of up and coming riders and a whole host of Brits fresh from fairing bashing and pushing each other off the track in the BSB.
Roll on March 1st
 
WSB is the only series worth watching every race,rather than the odd gp one.Hope the rsv4 shows some promise but I'll still be cheering on our local hero Jonathan Rea as well
 
With the retirement of Bayliss the competition should be much closer and that can only be a good thing. I'm hoping Haga can finally get the chocolates. I like that guy, anyone who cracks the ***** and shakes his fist at another rider while still cornering and causes himself to highside is my kind of racer. Crazy *******!

The 250s might not race at all. The minimum grid size allowable for a championship is 14 or 15 bikes. Carmelo Ezpeleta should be ashamed, but that money hungry Spaniard doesn't care about history or maintaining quality racing, it's all about money to that prick. The half-arsed changes he has forced through - with the help of Honda and Bridgestone most notably - has damaged the series in ways that will take years to fix.
