According to the Italian press Stoner has agreed to join up with old boss Livio Suppo at Honda and it's a done deal,source here .If it's true then silly season has started incredibly early this year.Be great if one of the front running Brits from the WSBK championship get a shot on a decent GP bike next season.
I've made some tactical changes to the fantasy team which I hope will pay off. I've sacrificed Rossi so I can have better riders in BSB. I might live to regret it.......
I would recommend changing Simon Andrews though.He's a very good rider but he's still injured following this extremely nasty crash during the recent WSBK race in Valencia.I'm sure he'll be back soon and he's a tough bloke but at the moment he's still out.
I noticed he went off track a few times and had to zig zag through some barriers (bit like a CBT!)
Ha ha,that made me laugh !
Re.Kiyonari,it's a wierd one.This is the same guy who blew away the entire WSBK field around Brands Hatch a couple of years ago (in similar conditions) holding his nerve superbly against the likes of Bayliss and Haga.On Monday though he gut mugged by Seeley (in a move which was a touch harsh but these boys can play rough) and 2 corners later Kiyo had outbraked himself yet again and was back to doing his rather familiar zig zagging.I remember watching him at the same part of the track in BSB a few years ago and his back tyre must have been like new after the race as it was always about 4 inches off the floor !.Just seems now as if something doesn't quite go his way he gets rattled and loses it a bit,strange ?.Still I hope the 'real Kiyo' makes a guest appearance sometime this season,in the mean time suppose we can enjoy watching our Brit boys kicking his ass ! :)

They were implying it may a confidence issue I think, but he was doing ok and then seemed to fade - I noticed he went off track a few times and had to zig zag through some barriers (bit like a CBT!)

The race 2 grid system is a great idea I think it gives people who qualify badly an extra chance in the second race, so now a bad day qualifying doesn't ruin the whole weekend for a team - when watching WSB I keep getting confused why they're starting race 2 in the same positions!
I think you're right about the points thing, something about keeping the interest going right until the end of the season - seems a bit confusing to me but as long as they understand it, I'll let Jack Burnicle and James Whittham explain it to me.
> WSBK at Monza this weekend,reckon Camier should be able to put the awesome straightline speed of that Aprilia to good use there.
I saw an interview with him on the Eurosport coverage - he said Aprillia really aren't putting much pressure on him, they just want him challenging up the front of the pack!
