Hopper Signs with Kawasaki

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (antfan @ Jul 10 2007, 10:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Here Tis

Make of it what you will...

Stunned, and a little saddened that Hopper won't be at Ducati next year. DePuniet and West will have to push for new rides now...especially if Capirossi is still in the Kawasaki frame.

This could also mean that Melandri could be moving to Ducati's 2nd seat...once it is vacated by deLoris.
 
Sweet. Melandri to Suzuki, sounds good if they can handle the whiner. Kawasaki have finally realised they need top riders to win races and a championship. Good stuff.

DePuniet is already signed.

I would be disappointed if Melandri went to Suzuki, he is too good for them.

Hopper turns green...

change of scenery might do him good??

Why not stick Westy next to CV#71 in 08???

Wrong, the only riders to have signed for 08 'officially' are Rossi and Hayden..

Too many Aussies in one place me thinks....but certainly an interesting idea none the less

STONER IS SIGNED FOR DUCATI O8
 
I'm gutted I thought John would have stayed.
Besides it's not a step up is it it's a step sideways.

It is a bit borderline how far forwards this will take him

Yes true, but Honda will come past them sooner or later, Ducati have been on a roll for a year or two and Kawasaki have arguably overtaken them. That leaves suzuki pretty low.
