Why should they get grid positions from another team? Wouldn't it benefit MotoGP to have another two riders?

re: "but we still need to improve many small things."

translation: our bike is behind the same 8-ball as the ducati.

re: "will be more of a filler than a title fighter"

been there, DEFINITELY done that.

re: "This is great news."

this is just testing.

re: "For a million bucks it sure seems like one is getting ripped."

yeah, for a million bucks it sure seem like the "one" getting ripped is honda.

as the company who brought us everything from the RC166 to the V5 to the million dollar gearbox, having a luddite dictating a price cap while never having designed or manufactured a damn thing IN HIS LIFE is shameful. there are boffins inside honda with PHD's. meanwhile, did ezpelata even graduate high school...? dunno.

Yeah. welcome back Suzuki, the more the merrier. Sincerely, I welcome Suzuki with both arms - I had plenty of Suzis before being "conquered" by the Aprilia flair... Having said that I feel that some comments like "bring 2014 on" when 2013 hasn't even started are surreal. Suzuki is a welcome addition, but it is not the major manufacturer, and will be more of a filler than a title fighter, so... let's enjoy 2013 first and when it ends, and ONLY AFTER THAT et's hope 2014 will be even better...

....basically learn a new bike all over again.

Riders without sponsors as we all know have to foot their own bill in a crappy team if they want to go to the world stage.

I'm talking about the running of the sport as the story was strongly talking about Dorna. Go figure.

And the fact that riders from other nations can hardly get a chance in the sport because there is so many Spanish run teams who only hire Spanish riders due to sponsors etc it probably would be a different story if other riders from other nations got a chance to come in and for teams to be born out of it with sponsors hopefully coming with them. Hense why the red bull rookies cup has been conceived."

The reality is that Spain does the best job of bringing riders up the ladder. The rest just have very poor involvement period. Even the Italians are complaining of how poor the support has been behind younger riders to help them move up.

Even though I'm a WSBK, WSS fan I understand that the chassis set up of a Moto2 bike is totally different to a WSS bike so no matter how good a kid is in any given country's (the ones without a Moto2 class) SS class they have to basic

Can anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between the CRTs and the proposed "honda back marker half assed prototype?

For a million bucks it sure seems like one is getting ripped. Specially if it won't beat the aprilia, bmw, ducati and kawasaki WSBKs which are cheaper by a mile.

Really! Suzuki needs to source its place from an existing team. The grid has only become full and you have started a grid war!! As a fan I would luv a explanation. How very business like.

Dorna has indicated that Suzuki will need to source its grid places from an existing team.

WTF ?????
