"sufficiently impressing". That should be said of Lundh's monetary backing rather than his unimpressive riding skills. Dude was a backmarker at both World Supersport and Moto2!

A little addition to already smaller WSBK grid.

all u need is a yamaha ktm teams and 22 bikes is enough with 8 brands

At least it's Sandi, not Simone Grotzkyj, who was rumoured initially.
The grid is on 18 now, is there any chance it will be more?

At least Sandi is a real talent. Glad he got a chance after the Effenbert farce.

Ben!

An italian BMW team (Team Asia or Supersonic Racing) also rumored to a full season entry.

I am baffled and puzzled by this. I thought Tom Sykes was their top man????? Has he gone to another team?

shaken: There are two Kawasaki teams - the factory-supported Motocard Provec Kawasaki which is the team where Tom Sykes and Loris Baz ride - and this team, fully privateer Pedercini Kawasaki.

@ jimmy

Thanks for that. I didnt know there were 2 Kawasaki teams.

Good for Pedercini to have two riders but it's interesting or a little sad there are only 18 riders in WSB. I guess the low number is due to a limited number of manufacturers and the economy. Nevertheless, this is still the most interesting and exciting motorcycle racing series IMHO.
