Certainly Kawasaki would benefit from Gibernau's experience with Ducati's Bridgestone project, and with Sete a solid development rider, it may be the kick-start the Kawasaki squad need with their 800cc programme.
There is possibly though a stone being aimed towards Gibernau's pond because sources are reporting this weekend that a certain goateed Italian may be about to turn his back on an Alstare Suzuki contract in world superbike at the 11th hour, to sign with the green machine in GP. It is uncertain at this time as to how far negotiations have gone, if anywhere.
A few people need convincing (myself included) but if it's confirmed, I wouldn't want to be Biaggi when Francis Batta caught up with me. In reality, could Kawasaki afford both Gibernau and Biaggi without serious backing from a well-heeled sponsor? Highly doubtful.
Remember, Biaggi is not everyone's cup of tea and has negative previous form with the organisers and certain manufacturers, Suzuki another to add to the list if this rumor bares fruit. It could all be smoke and mirrors as Biaggi has a 'contract', apparently, with Batta, as reported worldwide. Colorful story, and only those concerned know what get-out clauses (if any) are written into Biaggi's deal with Alstare Suzuki.
