The rumor is that Honda will run 3 "factory" bikes....2 in Repsol livery...for Stoner and Pedrosa...and one in Red Bull livery for Dovi.

Kinda like how max biaggi gets more screentime than anyone else in sbk cause all the cameramen are italian?

The reason why there's so many wrecks is because there's 41 fucking bikes on the grid. People are gonna wreck. Elias is just hating because he couldn't find a better class to ride for in 2010.

Isn't this racing?

Racing is supposed to be 100%(especially in a non-endurance event).

Tell Elias, if he wants to cry, he can cry on Pedrobots shoulder while they both cuddle with Puig.

He is kinda on the back side of his career, id expect that move in a few more years though. Maybe he's just trying his options?

He's not going to WSB...the Yahama WSB team loaned him a bike for his trial run...no big deal. He'll be on the Ducati next year with Hayden...probably a 2 year deal. Spies will get his ride on the factory M1 and Crutchlow will probably take the vacated Tech 3 seat.

Mr Lefty · 07-11-2010, 09:04 PM

personally I'd love to see him in WSBK...

I don't think they'd be as competitive with him as Lorenzo, Pedro, and a few others... but I'd finally be able to fully ignore MotoGP.

WSBK is much better racing IMO... 20+ bikes, more action in 2 laps than 2 races at MotoGP... good shit.

I don't disagree with you...I've really enjoyed watching the Moto2 class more than MotoGP this year.
