I just hope they go on talent instead of how much money they can bring. Cardoso was pretty useless in world superbikes, remember him riding for D'Antin before on the Yamaha 500
According to MCN, he's testing before agreeing to ride. He'll be testing the '05 bikes of Capirossi and Checa. D'Antin is to get those bikes with key '06 upgrades and Bridgestone tyres.
