.............. ENOUGH OF ALL THE RUBBISH questions ........

Have toy read this : http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2008/Dec/081230a.htm ??

Now granted Team Kwack have not set the world on fire, but them pulling out would be a disaster.

First Illmor then Roberts, Aprillia before them, KTM in the 250's HRC [ nearly ] 2 weeks ago.

Who next ?

Your thoughts please race fans?

Hi wiggysan

Tragic news if true, and there's no reason to believe it's not.

This could certainly signal the start of the end for motogp in the not too distant future. How many bikes do FIM say is needed for a championship to call itself a "World Championship"?..............18 I think. Now with only 17, WSBK will be the premier class.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Suzuki pulled out too. You've got to feel sorry for Melandri. He did have the option to go to Gresini. Even JT might be kicking himself for leaving a series that's going from strength to strength to one that's sinking fast.

I know Yamaha and Ducati are saying that they're committed to motogp. But with the falling grids, I think they might change their minds. A lot of the technology that is in the M1 engine wise, is now available in the R1.

If team Kwack does pull out it will be a real shame. Could Marco Melandri's career get any worse a dreadfull year at Duke then a lucky ride at Kwack, now their saying their pulling out. And John Hopkins he is a tallented rider and if he had a good package he could deliver the goods. This would also be a sad loss for the veiwers and spectators.
