Rumour mill at Thruxton today says M Laverty will be drafted in to play tail gunner on a third PBM bike for showdown rounds that dont clash with MotoGP...
On a similar note I heard a rumour suggesting the PBM MotoGP has been sold, taking effect next season.
Yes, aprilia have bought the PBM teams Motogp slot, but not the team.

Pah !

He's just one more rider for Kiyo to pass on the way...

biggrin:
His grid interview yesterday, that's the most i've ever seen him say.

He said post race the bike was fine and there were places he could of overtaken shakey but he was scared, i wonder if he's holding back until the showdown then he's going to pull the pin?
As Stu Hicken said, the bike had an upshift problem so he couldnt do the finnicky shortshifts needed on the slower corners, making corner exit a lot slower..

Shakey having almost a race in hand due to podium credits is a bit annoying from the championship fight POV though, he will need a couple of bad results to drop enough to be caught by the likes of Brookes/Ellison wont he?
