MOTOGP » Hopkins out of Laguna, no Melandri yet

Please give Chaz another chance, he deserves it after his ducati GP riding in the past!!

I might have some time available, can't garantie some decent results though..

Hacking has been on form lately, not a Motogp future prospect by anymeans but for a one off ride he deserves it for actually performing on the Kawasaki AMA best of the rest after the suzukis in that class!

LOL, Kees ... neither than any of their current riders!

Seems odd not to at least put Oli on the bike & give the sponsor what you promised?

Kees when we drew straws and you got the short one did you realise what you might be letting yourself in for

KEES, i''ll still put money on you finishibng in front of west though

how abt jamie hacking? he is doing pretty well in amasbk on zx-10r n been on the podium from last 4 races n is within 100 point of ben spies lead sitting 4th in championship. i guess he will be a fair bet to be on ninja. By the way melandri was the top choice if available. would luv to see wht he is capable of doing on green mean machine.I suggest that kawa should try both Jamie n Chaz in both USA rounds.

First - get well Hopper and come back healthy for the 2nd part of the season.
Second - "It will be diffcult to find somebody for Germany".....Ever heard of Olivier Jacques, team Kawasaki ?.....He could have won Sachsenring in 2002, on a 2 stroke 500cc, in front of Rossi and the 990rcv if he hadn't been rammed into by Barros.

Does this story mean Marco is out of ducati mid season? Clearly I'm not up to date with motogp news....

Moto GP is already poor in term of number of riders on the grid, I think Moto GP teams are still beyong what it should be in term of investment for the future, Dorna give money to the lower class 125 and 250 to keep bringing young talent from around the world, Red Bull is doing the same in Europe and now in Amrica but Moto GP teams prefer to pour money on their hospitality not a cent on young talent so the result is this, where to look for their future rider and the future of their team? For the little I know, not even a single MotoGP teams has a young rider under contract? Except Ducati with Canepa.In SBK a person like Batta is always looking for youngster, ask Max.
