MOTOGP » Alice tipped to confirm Kallio, Canepa at Sepang

Did you all catch the Iceman riding across the grass at Phillip Island? Even Dovi was excited over that...

Ronald Revsak: You are full of ****, you know? Everyone knows that there are no oil/gas/bank/media/mafiamoney behind Finnish riders/drivers, they have to rely on their skills to get ahead.

Thumbs up for Kallio!

Not very much expected for the 1st year, I guess.

You wonder why Kallio has got the ride over other more qualified riders in 250. Then Dorna announce they have struck a deal with a finnish satalite TV company that will be showing MotoGP live.

It's all about the money!

Kallio is talented for sure and he has shown this.Riding the KTM did not exactly give him the best platform to challenge the big facory teams.Canepa likewise has shoown that he is a gifted rider.That WSBK appearance was not the yardstick to measure him by,however.He has developed the GP8 AND the GP9 so he is at an advantage there.I truly think he will be VERY strong.The question is - will Hayden be another Melandri or will he show us something !!?

You should really wait until next year DrBob. Im not sure how he will get on, but if he's good you will just look stupid

Sometimes riders who were not so hot in 125/250 shine in MotoGP. Other who were great in 125/250 are a total disaster in MotoGP. So who knows what way it will go for Kalio.

Anyway what bike did he have in 02, 03 and 04 when he finised 11th and 10th in 125's? He was rookie of the year in 02 so must be doing something right.

AndyDuke.......I agree with you about Kallio. Cant wait to see him throw the duke about as if it was on ice! Not sure he will be the quickest but will be fun to watch!

yep andy kallio may be another stoner he has about the same 125/250 formbook it will be interesting. I have always rated Kallio and wonder what he couldve done on a works 250 aprilla.

Mika Kallio will show to all sceptics that he belongs to MotoGP! You will see it!

It's will and skill!!! Have to hope that Ducati take it serious to help Junior Team as a factory team.

Good Luck to Mika!

ant west should get a ride before any of these riders how can kwaka and ducati take back riders that didn't perform the first time round or help progress the bikes devolepment give ant one more go with the right bike he will produce the results
