Silly Season In full Swing

Yes the season must almost be over as the cabin fever already seems to be setting in. A few days ago max biaggi seemed set to rejoin Motogp on a Honda, but now the rumors seem to be that he’ll be on a factory Ducati being Run by GSE.  All this seems to be the product of an over zealous Biaggi PR person and possibly hints at desperation.

Another Rumor circulating is that Hawk Kawasaki won’t be running Kawasaki’s next year. I think this will be a mistake. I accept that they have had a hard year with a bike that was well off the pace  but you only need to look at how the motoGP bikes have performed this year to know that some of what they learned will filter down to WSB and BSB before the start of next season.

Finally I’ve been hearing reports that discussions between The BSB organisers and GSE are still on going. The latest reports i’ve recieved indicate that there is some considerable goal post moving coming from Ducati and that there may be more concession wanted not just related to the Pistons.

I must admid that i am a bit concerned that ducati feel that their standard pistons are not up to the stresses of racing..makes you wonder what will happen to road bike ridden with "Vigor" or taken on trackbikes. I have personal experience of just what a Poorly built ducati can be like and it’s not nice!
