| 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. |
