siebenbürgen süße heimat!
so alstare are back but this time with ducati,badovini and checa confirmed



what i know so far , please add what you guys have heard of



bmw italia : melandri / davies

alstare ducati : checa / badovini

kawasaki : sykes / baz

ten kate honda : rea / haslam

crescent suzuki: camier / cluzel

red devils roma aprilia? : fabrizio?/canepa?

aprilia : laverty / guintoli?

althea?: guigliano / ?





effenbert (and their riders) out for good?what will althea be running? what happens to the old PATA team?
 
edit: oops wrong, fabrizio on a customer aprilia with nicola caneppa in team red devils roma.





any news on what neukirchner does? hes a very good sbk rider, i'd love to see him have another go but on competitive machinery
 
Neukrichner hasn't been the same since the 2009 crash in Monza, I doubt he will ever get near the potential he showed prior to that.
 
Fabrizio is on the Red Devils Roma Aprilia last time I heard.



Guinters will be at Ducati or Aprilia thats all I think ppl know so far



EDIT:



Checa and Badovini confirmed at Alstare Ducati. So it looks almost certain that Guinters will get Max's Aprilia.



Guintoli for 2013 WSBK champ?!
 
.... no. i hope aprilia have the self respect to not sign a rider that is as undecided and thoughtful as a 14 year old brat.

Cheers for that!

Was wondering where Guinters would end up
<
 
well i'm inclined to believe the reports that he screwed crescent over
<




what , are you surprised i don't like guinters?
<
 
I know you have an irrational hate for him so don't worry
<




Gug-lee-ano is quick but he still needs some polishing before he's consistently at the front so not deserving of the Aprilia ride.

whoa, wait. hate is a strong word and i reserve that term for very few people. dislike is the word we're looking for.and its rational
<




think i've read somewhere that possibly althea could run the aprilia operation? that'd be perfect, eugene is signed to aprilia and davide to althea. dream team.

i always thought laverty underperformed very much this year, i had very high expectations for him and i will have the same for next year.
 
Fair enough, and I agree about Eugene.



However, i'm thinking the Aprilia is quick but hard to ride? Don't forget it was originally being built as a MGP bike. I;ve heard they WSBK version are very very stiff and although i've only ridden one once, it did seem far stiffer and more sensitive than my Gixxer.



I heard the same rumour, but then that Althea was going BMW or Kwak
 
the only rider it seems we can't agree on is rea ,just don't tell me you love sofuoglu and marquez track antics
<
but i guess nobody agrees with me , which is totally fine. it took me way too long to realize stoners talent, its good to be able to say i saw it right from the beginning for once and that i was the only one.



rea makes haslam his ..... next year, wanna bet ?

Yeah your right it does only seem to be Rea and now Guinters too.



Tough one to call really bout next year, and TBH I don't care much for either rider so will pass on the bet.

Much Prefer Laverty and Sykesy in WSBK
<
 
ok no bets there, i like them both (especially since laverty stopped waving his leg around and now hangs off the bike more than elias could have ever dreamed of. looks sick,i like it. sykes seems like a really cool guy, i'd be happy for him if he pulls it off).



you have to understand i've always liked the hoff as a kid and naturally you dislike the guy that has been a complete ....... towards him (and i'm not solely talking about running into him and making him break his hand).

guintoli would have to find a cure for cancer/aids and manage to make weed legal globally to redeem himself.

ok rea/haslam, come on jumkie, bite!

Laverty is great to watch, nice guy too,

And Sykesy lives less than 30 miles away, gotta support your county folk
<




Regards the Hoff and Guinters it was well before my time of watching I'm afraid,

So cannot comment!
<
 
no probs, i'm always glad to introduce the newbies to the sport.

once upon a time....

guintoli is just a terrible person.

end of.

take my word for it
<


guess why i'm supporting bradl i think its less than 50 miles and we share the same birthday. also i love how uptight and german he comes across in english interviews and how laid back and cool/honest he is when talking german
<
made me realize you have to watch the riders interviews in their mother tongue to get an idea of what theyre actually like . well anyways we're getting off topic.



hey, am i the only rea fan on this forum?

anybody heard anything on the extra ccs for yamahas coming triple?wsbk without yamahas is just wrong
