BSB / WSB grids 2023
Discussion
Although I don't necessarily agree with Shunning her publicly in the way Bautista did, she's not racing in WSS, and was way off the pace of the SBK's and maybe shouldn't have been there.
The same goes for anyone that's there and not racing in WSBK and is off the pace, so not an Ana specific comment
She would've been there to pacify sponsors etc and raise her own profile, so you can see why AB (and possibly, less vocally, many of the other WSBk riders) aren't happy about it. After all, it's an important test that they only have limited qty's of, so they're there to push as hard as they can, and don't need a rolling chicane to navigate every few laps
I understand there's also some history of friction between AC and AB too (as well as AC and many other people)

Charlie Nesbitt and Josh Owens confirmed at Hawk. No mention of new machinery yet though.
Also noticed no mention of ‘buildbase’ ….Spud will do well I think, not sure about Josh but hope they have a good year.

Still no Haslam announcement?
Testing starts soon does it not ?
It’s a done deal, so should be announced super soon once they get final sponsor details sorted Testing starts soon does it not ?
I’ve seen the bike, so it’s definitely happening
Re testing: he was in Cartagena testing the bike 3 weeks ago (albeit in a stock format)
