Kawasaki has officially announced that they will be racing in 2009.
I picked the news from BikeSport news - it must have been lunchtime at the other place.
A one rider team will take to the grid using Dorna money.
Marco Melandri is confirmed as the rider.
No news about Hopper - shame.
But this isn't particularily good news. Whilst Dorna will doubtless claim this as a victory it is really nothing more than (as Kropotkin says) flogging a dead horse.

Why is it always a shame about Hopper. Sure he's a vastly talented rider and has been left out in the cold, which is unfortunate. But like Edwards he's never won a race has he?
ReplyDeleteHe has been in GP for a quite some time as well.
One of GP's failings is not clearing out old talent to make way for new talent, even Gibernau has won 9 GP's....
You are right actually, sod him. Put Scott Reading on his bike.
ReplyDeleteI say no podiums come the end of your second season then sling your hook.s
ReplyDeleteLook at George and how he's entertained and got results

Grumble grumble grumble ........... thing brings me back to my idea of the pizza delivery cup. But we'll save that gem for another day.
