doesnt look like an MZ to me... anyone know who it is he is riding for?
n.b he's wearing the old Kawasaki Motogp leathers too...

I was talking to him at the airport in Malaysia after the GP and he said that he had a couple of options but none of them were a paying ride, so he was going to try to stick with the smae team but he had a couple of issue that he wanted them to sort out, on was the frame, so it could be the same team but with a revised frame.
Other than that I have no idea.

thats looks like the JiR moto2 team, it looks the same as alex de angelis' bike...

He's testing a Suter for Team Forward. He actually tested a couple of bikes.

and testing the Bimota as well as theJiR..

could you find a smaller pic pete??

good to see he's getting a few rides, even if he'd have to pay his own way to ride the bikes

Pay his own way winge and cry about each one and never asked to come back...

He has talent proven when he filled in at WSS level but a BS attitude that will go no where for his career.

agreed.
needs to talk UP how good the bike/team is. lie through his teeth if he has to.

currently looking for 300 000 pound to get a ride

westy has signed for MZ for 2011...

good that at least he has a ride for next yr.. hopefully MZ can put some developement into the bike.. gotta wonder how they're ever gonna make a steel chassis be competitive tho :/

here's hoping for a higher number of wet races next yr

Something I do spend/have spent a lot of time doing is designing linkages for Honda-esque geometry. From what I have seen of their machine from the side (Unit Pro-Link style still in place), it really does appear that they are not approaching this with sufficient zeal. Of course I am not saying I know all their measurements, as that would be silly and big-headed, but having spent untold hours plotting this sort of thing and calculating and producing and testing (ad infinitum), one cannot help but look at something so familiar and feel certain it is less than likely to function well enough, as after a while the familiar shapes betray their motion just from a look. You can chuck a huge amount of effort into any chassis and improve upon it, but if the others have one designed better from the start and then they put an equal amount of energy into enhancing that what they have too, then surely they have it easier and a better machine! ...ah well, doesn't matter, just saying!

Last time I put effort into a Chassis it fell pregnant... Certainly gave it more top end, but it didn't go any faster...
