Shame to hear Kyle Rydes WSS deal has fallen through.

Personally, Id like to see him win the UK SSP before goint to Worlds, but I do hope he picks another ride up this season.

That is a shame. Very impressed with his performance last year and he has a great way about him.

Fingers crossed somebody picks him up for the rest of bsb super sport season.

Was he a paying rider in wss or a paid rider?
I dont know tbh, but I dont think many in the whole of BSB are paid to ride.....

I can see the appeal of doing a lowes and jumping from bsb to wsbk as a paid not paying rider as even though it's not the best bike the offer may never come again , however to risk your own money is madness when you haven't even won the brit super sport.

Would Repsol really (seriously) give Cal a top seat?

He seems too ready to whinge, falls off, a lot, and despite his own (elevated) views of himself often has many other riders in front of him.

No.

I saw that as a MCN story on my facebook feed a few days ago. I chuckled.

They might if they need the factory bike crash testing. He's just binned the LCR again.

Surely he's too old now to be a up and coming prospect?

If so to appease the Spanish Movistar sponsors who weren't happy with Lin Jarvis for letting Lorenzo go.

Crutchlow just tweeted that he is happy to be signing his new 2 year contract. Jonathon Rea quipped is that with Vodafone or EE mate. Made me laugh anyway.

That'll probably be no MotoGP for Rea then - http://www.crash.net/wsbk/news/230248/1/rea-signs-...

Unless Kawasaki have plans.

Why would you assume MotoGP was ever an option?

He's too old now for a start.

I wonder who's going to replace Ryan on the Tyco bike for the TT.

Hope he gets better soon.

I wouldn't be supprised if the team was stocking up on Tea bags.

Not sure he's interested in racing at the moment, hasn't he got some massive push bike race coming up?

Yes he has so he won't be doing it that's the reason Ryan got the ride.
