Silly season around the corner

[Ian]

any body got any silly predictions that might just come true? Any silly rumours?
Top of the silly season rumour seems to be about Micheal Jordon (basketball) and him forming himself a MotoGP team, or buying one up. He could afford it, be interesting to see Nike leathers and boots, and Mr Dantin would like the money??

[Steve M]

[b]SCOOP ~ EXCLUSIVE[b]

The DSC are going to buy a 999 for Baylissboy and Steve M to use in endurace races and for Weeksy to use at the Manx Gp!!!!!!!!!

Is that silly enough?:lol:

:burn:

[dickieducati]

both desmondo and dibble to stay out of the kitty litter for a whole season?:o

Laverty to ride a 999 in Monstermob
Glen Richards and Dean Thomas to Hawk Kawasaki (to be renamed Highside Kawasaki with those 2)
James Haydon to Suzuki Moto GP?? or perhaps Hodgson
Colin Edwards witha Yamaha USA offeron the table as Rossis team-mate.
Troy Bayliss to Yamaha?
Max Biaggi to "oficial"Honda Repsol team Hayden stays but team boss gets fired
Hagga back to MotoGP on a Yamaha?
Melandri or Xaus to get the #2 ride in Marlboro Ducati MotoGP team Kagayama goes MotoGP with Paul Denning
Regis Laconni missed the team bus out of the AMA race and was found wandering somewhere near a town called Paris, Texas wearing his red Ducati Corse baseball cap, all he could say when picked up was " i very 'appy"

Emmett confirmed as going to Virgin Yammy.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if Edwards had originally gone to Ducati? Having said that it was WSB not MotoGP....

[Guido]

A little bird sqwarked to me that GSE are returning to BSB with Ducati in 2005 - No riders named but there's a few 'potential strays' going to be looked at....JT/Bayliss

Crescent Racing to head up Suzuki factory MotoGP effort with Paul Denning moving over to that role. Robert Wicks (formerly Marketing Manager of FGSport) to replace him at Rizla Suzuki BSB team with help of Niall Mackenzie

Chris Walker to PSG-1 Kawasaki.

Dean Thomas to Hawk Kawasaki to join Glen Richards.

Scott Smart to Rizla Suzuki

HM PLANT HONDA - Harris , Rutter, Kyonari

NVidia to arrive on BSB scene

Sendo Kawasaki - possibly Plater

ETI Kawasaki - possibly Paul Brown

VALMOTO YAMAHA
John McGuiness (TBC)
Craig Jones (TBC)

ETI KAWASAKI
Kieran Murphy
possibly Brown or Haydon

Is Crescent Suzi going to World Supers?

[Rattler]

No, Cresent Suzuki is going to MotoGP - they're managing the factory Suzuki effort in MotoGP.

Rizla Suzuki are staying in BSB.

one confirmation down : http://www.yamaha-motor.com/raceresults/europe_race/europe_racing.html

Edwards to be Rossi's team mate :( Have to say that I think it is the wrong move for him, - but I guess there is a hope if Yamaha USA can bring pressure onto Jerry Burgess and Vale to make it an equal 2 man team. Yamaha USA really want publicity next year and they are spending big bucks, - it is their pocket that is forking out for the Laguan Seca alterations, - they are also moving away from tobacco sponsorship.

So Biaggi get the best ride with HRC Repsol, - looks like Hayden sticking in as No. 2. Lets see where the rest of the cards come to fall.
