Kawasaki: The Never Ending Story...


The latest twist in the Kawasaki MotoGP saga came today as Marco Melandri revealed he hasn't actually agreed to ride the bike!

In an interview with Italian publication Sportmediaset.it Melandri claimed to be as surprised as anyone at Kawasaki's official announcement and further explained that he was going to ride the bike at the Qatar test with a view to then deciding if he will race the bike.

In many ways this hardly comes as a surprise as no doubt a rider like Melandri wouldn't at all relish the prospect of making up the numbers on an uncompetitive bike with no development back up or prospects for improvement.

It's all getting rather boring - but this is by no means the first time Dorna have gone off half cocked, so to speak, and with Carmelo Ezpeleta so personally involved in this his own credibility is being brought more into question on a daily basis.
