shakey has been right up front now that hes with a different team. Ill bet aprilia wishes they'd had the cash to give him a sattelite ride now eh?

what happened to hayden?

[Dave]

ah just looked up the times. Dead last sucks but he should have known that was coming when he signed to that team. Vermulen is already doing wonders for paul bird i see, and sykes isint too far behind him. I look forward to the ten hopefully catching a podium this year

Who can blame Hayden really. 24th in WSBK beats pole in DMG. He does have a ton of cards stacked against him tho. On the Kwakker amidst the best superbike riders and teams in the world? At Best their fast, at worst their a bunch of hatchet wielding habitual murderers racing for their own personal vendettas.

factory kwak aint a bad gig this year, but privateer kwak? Fuhgettaboutit. I agree that losing in sbk beats winning in dmg. Im still trying to wrap my head arount the fact that sportbike payouts are higher that superbike. Wtf is the point of racing litres?

DMG wanted to emphasize Sportbike cause they thought more teams could compete. What they wanted was a 2 wheeled Nascar where 30 private teams paid them to play...Not gonna happen.
