Can any one let me know who is riding for who next year in Moto GP, Superbikes and Super Sports. I have heard som many rumours and some count each other out.
Also does any one know where Andrew Pitt will be next year?

I think Red Dave is keeping a track of things in the form of an Excel Document.

Dave?

Dave?

WSB is fonsi nieto and laconi, WSS (supersport) is pere riba and fabian foret.

randy is confirmed in GP, the other seat would appear to be vacant if nakano has accepted the offer from konica minolta

nothing has been announced with the australian team although i have heard that they would retain both riders and do superbike / supersport with both riders.

Correct. Andrew Pitt lost his ride to Corser. Probably not the teams greatest idea.

Pitt seems to have trouble going the distance. He rides full tilt from the start and keeps the pressure on. But always seems to fade away as the race goes on.

Do either of you two have Fox to actually watch the WSK ?. Pitty was beating corser in the championship when they gave his seat for next year away.
They both deserve rides but not at the expence of the other one.

BRITISH SUPERBIKES News Thursday, 12th October 2006

Walker gets Rizla Suzuki chance.

WSBK race winner, Chris Walker, has been handed a Rizla Suzuki ride for this weekend's Race of the Year at Mallory Park - and looks set to secure a full-time British Superbike ride with the team for 2007.

Walker finished ninth in the World Superbike Championship in 2006, taking a memorable maiden victory at Assen. But, despite that victory and finishing the season as the highest placed Kawasaki rider, 'Stalker' was dropped in favour of PSG-1 team-mates Fonsi Nieto and Regis Laconi. Now the 34-year-old, British Superbike championship runner-up from 1997 to 2000, wants to return to BSB and finally claim the title.

"Rizla Suzuki is a proper team with a bike that can challenge for the BSB crown - I should know because I nearly won the championship with Suzuki in 2000," said Chris. "I am honoured that Rizla Suzuki is considering me for 2007 and giving me the opportunity to work with the team at Mallory Park this weekend.

"It has been six years since I last raced at Mallory and there is at least one new chicane so I will hardly recognise the place! On top of that I need to get used to a new bike, new team and Dunlop tyres. We have a private test on Friday so that will help and then I'll be giving it my all for the team and the Stalker fans on Sunday.

Yep, he has.

And it looks like Eckl is staying on as boss man at Kwakka.

"Meanwhile, another key member of the Kawasaki Racing Team looks set to stay, with team principal Harald Eckl - in charge of the race team since its 2002 MotoGP debut - expected to guide the team into the 800cc era, despite speculation of a possible departure.

"Harald Eckl has a contract to run the factory Kawasaki team in MotoGP until the end of the 2007 season and, as far as I am aware, he will continue to fulfil the role of team principal for the Kawasaki Racing Team for the next twelve months," said Wheeler. "

Oh, and Bayliss is riding Gibernau's Ducati for the last race this year.
