A good bunch of highly rated pensioned veterans taking probably loads of money out of Chinese pockets, it sounds good to me, whatever the results might be. We've seen Loncin coming in 125cc GP this season, having been sold a 5 yr-old Malaguti as a good basis by another bunch of European smart guys (Italian team and Belgian engineer for Loncin, British team and Dutch engineer for Maxtra) and their bike is probably level with an average Honda RS by now, so Maxtra, with more deep funding and probably a more experienced and professional team, should be soon close to standard Aprilias. I don't expect them to challenge the factory Piaggio bikes though, but it's good for the sport anyway.
