Not all riders confirmed

[TP]

Jules Cluzel named twice ...

Roger Lee Hayden racing with Pasini, that should be interesting.

NCR are building a chassis...

All very interesting! Should be a wicked championship!

[Chef]

Could be more interesting than Motogp if they're not careful! - full grid?

[skidlids]

Good to see names like Moriwaki, Harris, Sueter, TSR in there alongside Aprilia and Tech3

[Chef]

Agree - less £££ = more teams = full grid = more exciting racing

[skidlids]

Hope to see some of the bikes at the NEC show next Thursday

Agreed Chef....but the only British participation is on the engineering side. There are still seats to be filled but Brit' riders are going to be conspicuously absent....almost as bad as MotoGP.

We've got the riders, we have the expertise, why are there no British teams in Moto2 ?

When are companies in England etc; going to wake up to the link between sponsorship and international advertising on a world stage ?

[skidlids]

Gowlands in with a chance of a ride he is riding one in the last two rounds of the Spanish championship and has been off testing again along with some old guy called McWilliams

[Chef]

FH - agree

Maybe they're all a bit broke.........& they'll wait and see it it takes off before they invest - see where the talent is and stick your money there??

Just look at Donnington.....that's a national disgrace IMO

Wait till the quantitative easing stops.......eek

We'll see

[skidlids]

Aprilia throw a spanner in the works by announcing their withdrawl from the series, deciding at this late stage that they have a conflict with running a competitors engine

So a few of the above teams will be looking for new Chassis providers which may delay their testing
