Yes!

Francis Batta must be SPEWING! After giving Corser permission to talk to other teams with the Biaggi news and now Corser's gone to Yamaha Francis has an empty seat!

Will Barros take it? Perhaps Pitt? Or Hodgson?

Who will be in Lanzi's seat? Barros and Hodgson also linked there ...

And funny news about Bayliss - apparently he got pretty smashed on Sunday after his championship win and fell over cutting his face. Toseland apparently cleaned him up and put him to bed in Bayliss' motorhome

Barros has been linked with Ten Kate Honda, but insists on taking his own suspension tech, engineer, catering staff, cat , dog, hamster and god knows who else.
Hodgson talking with JT & Roger Burnett at Magny Cours??
Francis Batta last seen cutting an enormous slice of humble pie while crying over a large puddle of spilt milk.......................

Although to be fair to him, apparently it wasn't him who wanted Biaggi in and he wanted to keep Corser. Him and Corser go way back.

Yup, straight from the top apparently, the staff at Suzuki have obviously been on the rice wine!! A strange decision that may well come back to haunt them methinks!!

More developments on the Biaggi rumours ...

This from Patricia Batta, also courtesy of crash.net:

Quote:

Rumours have been circulating the paddock regarding Max Biaggi allegedly moving to Moto GP with Kawasaki. Patricia Batta quashed those rumours saying that Biaggi has signed with them at Alstare and it is a done deal.

I wonder if there will be a battle between green and yellow

Wondered why Hodgy was hangin round:

Hmmmmmm, the Whit reckoned he Hodgy and Foggy were out for dinner at Magny Cours and got on like a house on fire........then when foggy sobered up he denied he'd said anything nice about Hodgy at all

The silly season is almost as good fun as the racing............

I guess all the guff keeps the teams in the news when there's no racing and keeps the sponsors happy.
