MOTOGP » Hofmann 'unscrewed', plans '09 comeback

The Chinese Government have not ruled Hofmann out as their developement rider for their MotoGp/WSBK Loncin bike that may be ready for 2009 season, 2 chassis are now on the drawing board awaiting approval of funds after the Olympic Games, in the mean time there will be further resources made available for their MotoGp 125cc Bikes to be rode by up and coming French youngsters Cluzel and Masbou

Bring back Gustav 'Hospital or Rostrum' Reiner

for me there's no German rider capable of riding in MotoGP even Neukirchner...I wonder to see a Japanese riders come back to front row rather. German's home is F1 and that's enough.

Hoff remained in GPs because Dorna wanted a german ridr there. Now that Neukirchner is around , youbnger and way faster than Hoff, the moto gp card for Hoff has expired

Go Super Bike, Hoff. If you get a ride in gp, it will most likely be a honda, and as EVERYONE knows, the honda SUCKS ****** (in appearance). They look like ugly mad max bikes. If you ride one of them you are an idiot.
Pluss you are too slow for the 800cc, - I hate 800cc ,. bring back 990 or 500,. wow I would LOVE to see an 400cc 2stroker enter the big class and KICK SOME *******
Make GP interesting again!! Not very likely

Let's hope the Hof will not drop the bike when he reviles it to the press.

Yes, I'd love to see Triumph in WSBK too! A Street Triple is going to be my next bike

Nice thought Jack, would LOVE to see Triumph in WSB (being British and riding a Triumph myself)... Perhaps one day in years to come in MotoGP too... Gossip is they are working on a Daytona 1050 along the lines of the 675, which judging by the brilliant Gary McCoy's performance is almost competitive in its' 1st year out in WSS... Oops, off topic but an interesting thought anyway...

What this report and subsequent posts made me think that if all goes well for the european factories we're gonna have:

WSBK 2009: All 2008 factories + BMW + Aprilia + KTM. Now, that's 4 japanese factories against 4 european. I don't think we've ever seen this in motorcycling racing (maybe some obscure category in the 50s but I don't really care for that era)
Maybe in 2010 we'll even see Triumph in!

Hoffman should take a ride wherever he can get one,then look around fo something better, I see we are back to Rossi's " Golden Glow" No, you sad groupies the sun does not shine out backside :
