MotoGP news/gossip

Post by Smitty »

Someone I know (who shall remain nameless) has told me that one Casey Stoner
will be racing for Honda in 2011 :twisted:


and that quietly secretly out of season the young bloke has already done a series of commercials for Honda
...and kept a few of the props (errrr....bikes ;) )



just a touch of gossip to finish the year :kuda:

In motorcycle racing anything is possible. I suspect there's more to Casey's mysterious illness than they let on and Suppo's move to Honda was interesting.

However, why would you shoot commercials more than 10 months out from the end of his current contract? Seems pointless. Add to that the risk of getting caught in extreme breach of that contract.

Bloody Honda fan-boys!

Phuck the 990's I want the 500's back, then it was much more a test of how good you can ride rather than how good the electronics package is... not saying any man and their dog can ride a moto gp bike by any means, clearly Westy had some troubles but the 500's were full on beasts I believe in comparison to these 4 strokes nowadays..

No doubt the 500's were easily the best spectacle, although magic Mick through the 90's tried to make the racing boring. Long live Gazza the sultan of slide.
