I've really not heard anything about Laconi!

For sure he'll get a job no problem but I have no idea (as yet) where.

Word is, that if Vermeulen goes to GP's there could be an opening for Toseland! Dunno what would happen if CV stays and so does Muggers. That option could dry up. I expect we'll here at the end of the season if CV does well on the Camel.

Toesland has also been given America as an option with the Ducati team but he wants (obviously) to stay in WSBK. It would be nice if Ducati ran a third (and fourth) rider. Wishful thinking I know. It's never gonna happen but I think Steve M is bang on - Toesland is worth another chance EASY. He's a consistent top 5 runner at least! However we all know that the business / sponsorship etc etc etc behind Ducati & WSBK will dictate differently. It's a cut-throat biz at the sharp end of the game! Wins and manufacturer championships are the name of the game.

I hope we find out all the finer details soon. It's going to be a long off-season waiting for this to begin!
