WSBK...

Looking likely that Melandri has bought Giuliano's Duke seat.

Stephan Bradl Likely to Ten Kate in M VDMs seat as he is off to Pata

Guintoli out to make way for above...

SMR unhappy with BMW and in talks with Aprilia...

I think smr have bitten off more than they can chew and should get back to bsb ( yes i'm aware they had a sponsor who wanted to do wsbk , but maybe they also have realised the grass isn't always greener)

Guinters we'll have him back in bsb too.

Not really sure why SMR didnt take the R1 into WSB, possibly a time delay in deciding ?

yam pulled the plug on smr hence the switch to bmw , bit of a pisser after they developed it for bsb.

Easton Has split with Epay Yamaha any ideas for the ride?

SMR were always going to struggle coming to the party late & being way down in the BMW support order the Aprillia is more suited to WSBK.

Melandri confirmed at Duke...

Guiliano hoping for Moto2 ride.

I'll miss Guiliano in Superbikes.

On the other hand Moto2 won't know what's hit it!

[Turn7]

Yeah, I will.

From what I can see, Melandri is apying for his ride and earningn nowt.

No money left after paying for Jorge next year it seems.

Kiyo has had the chop.

Who will replace him ? Howie Mainwaring ?

Hardly surprised about Kiyo, but still a shame. Was blindingly fast on his day.

I think you are probably on the money with Howie too.

I thought "Danny Buchan and Moto Rapido part company" was just another race incident.
