On Tom Sykes old bike and Haslam finally official with Stiggy in WSB . . .

So now theres both HM Plant bikes without riders, GSE without 1 rider as Camier probably will stay.

Loads of mvoes to come through yet . . . Heady days of Hodgson and Walker?

Unless riding for Paul Denning's Rizal Suzuki BSB team and doing a good job could put him in line for a return to MotoGP on a Denning run Rizla Suzuki in place of Capirossi perhaps.

Exactly . . .

Not so far to fall in fairness and shows how well regarded BSB is. Guintoli could easliy have got into WSB/WSS I believe, but he's chosen a route through BSB. I can't wait to see him over here.

Bare in mind he lives near Donington with a British wife, which probably has had some affect on his decision making.

That'll be his missus who wears the trousers then rolleyes

Seriously, don't think it's the right move - it's like me giving up a senior designer job to go back to a junior designer..

Not sure what you design but I'd describe it as moving from a position of senior designer at Ford to move to a role of junior designer at Aston Martin.

Guintolli obviously decided that bsb is better than a bit part ride in WSBK which imo is the right decision, sykes, haslam and byrne have all found decent rides in WSB this year straight from BSB and if guinters can win the championship within 2 years then he will get the same treatment.

Being with denning aswell he will most likely get rides in GP's if cappi or vermuelen managers to injure themselves, it makes perfect sence to me.
