i was waitin for yoda to show up!
But then again, Eckl was quoted as saying "We may as well go home now, we're not going to win" in Qatar I think. Wrong attitude, man. Especially from the boss. Yoda's got a good resume, and it won't take much to be better than the guy who chose DePuniet.
I hope it doesn't go downhill for them, I really like them as a team and I don't agree with Shinya going.
Problem is not bad race management, problem is ....... slow bike!
And with DePuniet and Jaque (at his age) I'm not expecting too much from Kawasaki next year.
Anyway ALLEZ LES VERTS!!!

The kawasaki is a pretty solid bike with good tires, so i think with a fresh chance to design an engine that works could haul them up the order a bit, or see them slip back, but lets hope they pull it off. I think its a bit of a shame they couldnt sort themselfes out an experienced and quick rider, instead of resorting to jaque, although to be fair the last time we saw him ride he was 2nd to rossi. As for DePuniet, he is a very fast guy, he pulled off some impressive rides in 250's 05 and i reckon if he can learn to not fall off his riding will progress well.
I am not so gutted about nakano leaving because i am a nakano fan first and a kawasaki fan second, so its exciting to see nakano finally get the chance to prove himself, it should have happened a year or two earlier. But i do have to worry about how he will take to changing bike, team and tires next year.

I got faith in OJ, and I don't think the Kawa will turn out to be as much of a dog as I first thought. Still, can't expect too much
