Bigger deal because they got rid of the rookie rule. Ben is pissed but he should be focused more on keeping his factory ride and not losing it to Cal


I knew Rybo knew a lot of shit about bikes, but I didn't know he could actually tell the future! :lol:

yup - totally missed on Rossi and Ducati. Thought for sure he would buy a satellite team and bikes for his own effort in 2013.

Don't feel bad. It's looking more and more like my Edwards/MotoGP champ prediction may not pan out. :down:

Has it been announced? No huge surprise, Repsol has ALWAYS been about promoting the Spanish riders.

I'm calling Jeff Thomas to the Chicane Instruction Team in 2013 - High Plains Raceway, May 2013.

Jeff - I don't have a lot to offer by way of sponsorship, but you're welcome to pit with me and use what little knowledge I have to your benefit.

Yeah, they announced it yesterday.

It's a bit of an interesting move because in the past they've said that they didn't want only spanish riders on their team. Remember this is a marketing game as much as it is a racing series. Having riders of multiple nationalities give a broader marketing opportunity to the companies trying to promote their product.
