Lots of talk that JG may not be around next year.....

Seems a bit strange as Haslam is in reach of the title.

The team, or the sponsor?

Heard they won't be doing roads at all but will be running a 2 bike BSB team

Well, the lads are all hunting for new jobs..... so what does that say. it could change 11th hour but looks like Haslam has indeed signed for Tyco which has knocked the rider market into a cocked hat...

If, big if, Haslam does go to tyco, sounds like Honda UK have first dibs on guinters, with linfoot alongside. Also rumour of Rutter back to bsb with his old quay garage mob on the new blade.

If Halsall are going with Yamaha (thought I read it on here or somewhere) will Suzuki be represented by anyone next year? A new bike will always be a temptation, that is if they don't stay with Halsall.

Any ideas on why Halvorsen wants out LB ?

On the brink of biggest success seems odd.

The saying goes that he isnt happy at the way BSB is run, and has no interest in going wsbk. so thats that

I did wonder, he seemed pissed at PBM getting full factory support earlier this year.

I thought brookes was coming back to bsb on a BMW, I assumed tyco.

Me too, but he didnt sound very confident on Twitter...

@JoshBrookes said:

Nothing confirmed. At the moment still negotiating terms and waiting for some answers. I want to stay in WSBK but not looking good atm.

No, he has tested the bike at kirkistown, but is waiting on Halsall getting the final nod from yamaha to be the defacto bsb team.

JG Speedfit were the official factory supported Kawasaki team this year. Unless they were telling porkies on their website and media info.

Huge difference between 'factory supported' and 'factory'.

[Sea-Doo]

So there's a chance of Haslam and Brookes at Tyco as team mates?

That would be a strong team as long as the bike is competitive!

What a bunch of s. Aegerter's current team CarXpert Interwetten has dropped him for the rest of the season because he has signed with Leopard next year.

He did supposedly have a agreement with his current team for 2017 so obviously him signing elsewhere was a shock.

[FourWheelDrift]

I read it as verbal only, if they wanted him they should have got his signature on a contract.
