could be Suzuki.... but what he has n't worked out from the contract is that they want him as the spanner-boy not the rider! Sorry could n't resist.
My guess is that he is talking it up, - he has to be big money after the years in the game, everybody knows Birdy is not the easiest of bosses, - but who could blaim hinm for not renewing the contract after this year.
Did you hear the interesting Birdy comment though? He will hear from Ducati this week, - they want a 2 rider team, - one UK (looking at Rutter) but one already employed by the factory..........depending on results that could be....... Toseland, Laconi, or even Bayliss?
Hot news,just heard from son and heirs best mate at MCM ,Emmett has indead got a full factory ride for next year. Part of a two man team on full factory machines ,i can confirm he will be based at Donnington and will be riding for TEAM JOHN DEERE ! Riding in a one make one venue series Shaun will be cuttting the grass all around the circuit !!!
he deserves the harsh words. anyone remember back before the season was about to start Emmett's interview in the MCN giving it lots of large about how he dosn't need to train and there is no probs with him drinking and smoking, well looks like its done him the world of good. Well done shaun :P
