[JPM]

Checa is there due to money, nothing more nothing less, I feel for Troy, and to be honest I hope he gets the rumoured Honda ride and kicks Checa's and Ducati's backside.

The GP4 hasn't done anything this year and one podium each to Bayliss and Capirossi, admittedly Capirossi hasn't chucked it as many times, but I would think that's more down to the bike not the riders.

Chucka (sorry Checa) will be exactly where he was with Yamaha, nowhere, just making up the numbers, bagging a few points, if he's lucky.

Good luck Troy, hope everything works out for you

Stick him on a Kwaka!!!!!

[Felix]

Totally agree with you, Ray. Did you see the sideways glance he gave to Minoli standing next him? Says it all, really.

[deej]

bit simialir to the toseland/laconi situation with tardozzi

its a shame money rules but if he does turn to the yellow side it should be a fun team with him alongside the elbow dragging tamada

Bayliss on the Camel is very close to a done deal. Max has been riding in Repsol colours (no wording) on a black RCV211v this week. So once Max anounces what is really the number 1 ride in MotoGP I would expect to see the rest fall into place, - although financial issues with the likes of Aprillia and D'Antin need to be sorted and that may take longer.

As for the Tardozzi that look has to go down in history, well at least into this years Motocourse. But not surprising that Corse had expected Laconi to win; going into your home race leading a championship? He blew it big time, and Toseland proved a big point, and upped his contract value. Meeting him (J.T.) yesterday I was struck how much he had grown up (logical I know) in 2 years, he seems a very focussed guy now, not the shy young boy of the GSE team.

[keefer]

didn't checa get the same points at the end of the season as cappa ?

[deej]

yeah but on what should have been a superior bike, the yamaha did win the riders title and the team title so chucker should have been up nearer the front a lot more than he was

[keefer]

only one Yamaha capable of wining the championship, and they wouldn't of done that without the Rossi factor

[deej]

nope and it was the quickest again in valencia yesterday with cappi n chucker 1/2sec behind both doing a 1.33.9 compared to v.r's 1.33.4, gureschi wasnt that far behind with a 1.35.5
