The circuit operators at spa have confirmed they are in talks with dorna about a return to spa no later than 2020. Possibly 2018.

Can't wait to see that. Imagine the desmosedici down those straights ??

In other news, William Dunlop to Halsall for the roads, great move on both parts.

And LFC executive Ian Ayre joining Roy & Ben Constables brilliant RC Express team to help with commercial ventures.

All of those are on my Facebook feed. I thought you were a journalist, or close to the paddock.

I hope it does happen but I can't see it unless they drop F1

Of all the things ive been called in the past, wker, tt, thunder, hero, etc etc, ive never been called a journo!! I feel dirty!

Unfortunately, as with many lads on here, theres stuff we know, but cant say (NIN a prime example) as it would piss our friends who it concerns right off, so im not personally going to tell you everything i know, i could tell you the announcements due at NEC this weekend, but i wont.

However, this is the correct thread for latest rider moves, and as a lot of the folk on here dont bother with ttter its likely they hadnt seen it yet.

So you're not a journalist then. How close are you to the BSB paddock?

Leave him alone he won't tell you, as he said when you're close to people you can't say everything you know, when you get the nod then you say on here. There are few surprises (maybe) scheduled for the NEC but again it's all pretty fluid at the moment.

Lincs are you at Cartagena in Feb?

Ok, it just seems that he posts a lot of speculative stuff, that isn't overly accurate (maybe 50/50), then posts a load of stuff that's been in the public eye for a few days.

Don't be a flipping misery. I'm not on twitter, crash.net adverts physically hurts my phone so cannot be bothered with that so this thread just pootles my interest along - please don't throw water on it.

We're not all terminally bored office bods with 8 hours available daily to surf the internet - some of us need to actually work.

Lincsblokey is the poster formally known as Castrolcraig. He was banned from PH for being, among other things, a gob-ste. He still is, but tries to justify his existence here by name dropping at any given chance. He's got his ear to the ground alright!

Sorry, I was just trying to get my head around the rumours as some of the stuff has been really good on here.

Unsure pal.

Certainly not riding, won't be doing any of that until April then I'll do a few track days before spring cup at olivers.

Possibility I'll be out there (then Jerez after) on the spanners with a new (sort of) team but they are still awaiting contracts etc.

Yeah still some interesting news to go public, fans of Kawasaki and road racing will have a good few days.

We might even get the HUK TT team announced, the one I'm waiting for though is Padgett's, a lot of sniffs around uncle Clive the last few weeks. Wilson Craig could be a good one to watch too.

Being involved in Roads I've heard some interesting things about Wilson's plans plus he'll be getting some support.

I'm taking the bike out there no spannering for me until March, I'm really looking forward to the Roads next year with 2 New bikes for riders/teams to choose from it's going to be a great season.
The Manx should be good as well because we're going to build a pair of 750's.

I thought the HUK announcement was end of Jan.

Portimao back in for World Superbike, Malaysia dropped.

New rider for the WD 40 BSB team, don't think I should mention who yet. Surname begins with a B

It's OK lincsblokey will tell us after it's been announced and then I'll get shouted at for asking him what he does for a living.

He's a Moto GP reporter isn't he?

I don't know. I was genuinely asking as he posts a lot of stuff, but a lot of it when the news is formally announced.

I know he isn't a rider based on the photos he's posted.

Does he swear a lot and come from devizes?
