Kawasaki riders for 2007

Both the PSG-1 Kawasaki WSB team and the Team Gil Motorsport World Supersport team have announced their riders for 2007, and Britain's Chris Walker won't be riding for PSG-1.

Despite taking a first win for Kawasaki for Kawasaki in WSB since April 30, 2000, and his first World Superbike victory, Walker will be looking for work as the Kawasaki team will field Spaniard Fonsi Nieto and Frenchman Regis Laconi. Nieto is currently 10th in the championship, one place behind Walker, while Regis Laconi is currently 15th.


In World Supersport, Team Gil Motor Sport has announced it will field former SUpersport champion Fabien Foret (33) and Pere Riba (37). Riba has raced in the British series for MSS DIscovery Kawasaki since 2004, and finished fourth at the Silverstone round in 2006 as a wildcard rider.

Bloody hell, Why keep Laconi instead of Walker ?.

I think the Fons did enough this year to keep his seat but Laconi ........... ffs he's done nothing since Toseland beat him to the title in 05.

Is there a Second team like the one that ran Brooksie in SBK this year ?.

SS seems ok. Can't be ,uch worse then they were this year.

wait till you find out that Max will be riding the zxrr in motoGp

Walker will be missed

Max has already signed with Suzuki..

Bummer about Walker.. we should start a petition.
Nakkers and now this.! We can't keep changing our banner...!!!

What am I supposed to do with all my autographed pictures and caps of Walker and Nakano?
I under stand why Nakano wants to leave and I believe he has been offered good money from Kawasaki to stay but why get rid of Walker when he was the only decent green rider all year in Superbikes?
