<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Ooost @ Aug 23 2006, 10:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Red Bull is in talks with Ilmor to sponsor the team. Red Bull would be better off financing BMW venture for instance. However BMW will not want to be bossed around by Austrians. The last time Germans had that it wasn't a success, to say the least, so a Pons' revisited Honda customer setup with Barros looks a rosier prospect.

Barros back in MotoGP?

Umm, aint gonna happen..

Barros is likely to be aboard a Ten Kate WSBK Honda with Seb Chapentier next year after Toseland leaves to go MotoGP racing aboard a D'Antin ducati and Muggas gets the flick for a lack luster year, most likely he'll end up on a DFX or Klaffi Honda..

Red Bull will sponsor Ilmor or if that doesnt come off then increase their number of individual riders sponsored..

I would love to see Barros back. Much preferable to Biaggi or any of the other older riders who've left. He was a true sportsman. Someone took him out during a race, Barros's response? "I don't blame him, its racing, these things happen". Thats better than I can imagine Biaggi doing "He's out to get me! He did it on purpose!". Bring back Barros I say.

I like that!

The front looks a little strange though, like the wheel is sticking out too far.

McCoy was good on a 500 so if the new bikes are like the old 2 strokes we may be in for a spectacle. Oh, and that bike looks really good, a nice aggressive stance.

Just found this snippet also:

Is it quick? forget what it looks like. Antfan, Barros would be back in GP's in a heartbeat if he got the chance, never say never. McCoy's on that thing because he's cheap, I don't think he'll race it.

Here's Max Neukirchner on it too.
