As just reported on www.crash.net, Ryuchi Kiyonari will make his MotoGP return at Valencia aboard the Camel Honda. Kiyo rode for Gresini Honda in 2003 filling in for the late Daijiro Kato, Kiyo's best result was 11th place and stood 22nd in the championship taking part in 12 rounds. Where do you think he will finish? I personally don't see him doing any better than Vermeulen, 12th place is my guess.
 
1 thing 4 sure he will bin it or better it.. but hey we will soon cccccccccccccc

WOW i hope this kid really impresses, hes already signed up for another year aboard the HRC blade in BSB(i think) so its not like he could win himself a ride, but he could certainly impress.

Will he impress? i dunno, ive got a feeling Vermeulen is a better talent, but in terms of speed? their both lightning quick.

IMO i agree with oost, i think he can match vermeulens performance, but not go any better. I still think he is the right kind of guy to be in motogp though..

that's what i read

what's goin on here?!
 
Crash.net is more likely to be updated more often so i belive them.

Theres still nothing about it on the official site tho...
 
From what I've heard Byrne was spoken to and placed on stand by yesterday, later in the day HRC decided to give the ride to Kiyo. I believe that is what is causing the confusion.

From everything I've read I will be surprised if he and Ellison aren't named to the D'Antin squad for 2006. Should be quite a good team as well, 2006 spec Ducatis most likely on Bridgestone rubber.

probably why byrne did'nt get the ride this weekend. fingers crossed!
 
I'm sure they're unrelated, Kiyo is HRC property where Shakey is not.
 
Kiyo currently in 12th after first practice this morning.... good call chaps!

Checha & Gibbers 1st & 2nd as to be expected.
