okay first the bad news
http://www.mcnews.com.au/NewsArchives/2006..._collarbone.htm
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Australian Superbike Championship contender Russell Holland went under the lap record during a test at Winton yesterday but then had a minor crash on an in lap that has cast a shadow of doubt over his fitness for round six of the YMF Loan sponsored championship at Winton on October 22.
While Russell described the crash as 'soft' unfortunately he landed awkwardly and broke his collarbone in the fall.
The Robern Racing man is currently on the road to Melbourne to investigate surgery options and is hopeful that the injury will prove only a minor setback and that he will still be strong enough for Winton and is hopeful of challenging Yamaha's Jamie Stauffer all the way to the wire in order to set up an exciting championship finale at Eastern Creek on November 19.
then some surprising news

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>2004 Australian Superbike and Supersport Champion Adam ‘Krusty’ Fergusson, together with DVS Honda and support from Honda Australia, has formed an all-new distributor supported satellite team to launch an assault on the 2007 Australian Superbike Championship.
“I am stoked to have been given this opportunity by Honda. I have always wanted my own team and now my dream has come true and I owe the guys at Honda a big thank you," Fergusson said.
"The new team is awesome. They are as determined as me and we fit together great, so it has all of the ingredients for a winning combination. Make no mistake, with the support that we have, and the desire within the team, we plan on regaining both of the titles that I won in 2004.”
Krusty’s new team, DVS Honda, is part of an established engineering business based in Boronia in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and is owned by Dave Krsevan and James Murray-Parkes. The team will contest both the Australian Superbike and Supersport Championships aboard Honda’s potent CBR1000RR as well as the all new 2007 Honda CBR600RR. ..........
then some good news

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Honda has confirmed that Russell Holland and Bryan Staring have signed to ride for the distributor supported Honda Australia factory team in 2007.
Staring, 19, and Holland, 22, will compete in both the Supersport and Superbike classes in the Australian Road Racing Championship series next year.
Holland, who has been riding for the Robern Racing Team with the support of Honda Australia this year, has continued to demonstrate that he is a formidable opponent.
He currently sits in second place in the Superbike Championship, just 18 points shy of series leader Jamie Stauffer with two rounds remaining. Holland has finished on the podium at every round so far this year, including two firsts, two seconds and one third place round result.
"Russell is having an incredible year," said Joe Rocket Honda Team Manager Paul Free. "And he is currently competing as a privateer. I am very much looking forward to seeing what he can achieve with the full support of our main Honda Team."
Holland is clearly happy about the new arrangement. "It has been what I've been working toward for some time, so obviously I'm stoked."
Bryan Staring will also have double the chance to prove himself next year piloting the CBR600RR and CBR1000RR.
After having a stab in the Superbike class at the recent MotoGP Support Classes, Staring who has been competing for the Jardine Honda race team this year, showed that he is more than comfortable on the bigger machine.
He finished with a fifth, fourth and third place in the toughest of battles at the international Phillip Island event on a Superbike, and is looking forward to the challenge for next year.
"2006 has been a huge learning year for me so far," said the recently transplanted Western Australian Champion from his new home in Melbourne.
"I think next year all the elements that I have learned will start falling into place and we will be even more competitive."

Great news for Holland! I think he'll be the next one we send to WSBK, AMA or BSB. So what's the deal with Team Krusty? When I first read it I thouht it would be the same sorta situation as Mladin's AMA team (own a satellite team and race for the factory team yourself) or did Honda give him the boot and helped him set up this team as a Consolation prize? Either way I hope it works out. It would be good to see some proper privateer teams in the mix.
