But Ducati gotta compete against a combined Honda and Yamaha in this respect. Most of the best riders are on Michelins, most of the best bikes. Apart from the fact that Michelin are the best, That's not why they're gonna win. It's because they've got the good riders and the good bikes. And even with Kawa and Suzuki, they can't really hope to beat Rossi, HRC Melandri, Yamaha and Honda combined, can they?
Michelin owes half its GP dominance to it's position. They're great tyres, don't get me wrong. The best, in fact. But when you're supplying tyres to two of the three top bikes and a good half of the top ten riders, you're pretty hard to beat, you know?

Richo the 1 man team is part of my strategy.
Ben I guess the winner is the one that ends up with more points, right?
In that case, if 2 or more teams end up with the same number of points, Who is the winner? the one with more money?

Kat your team look a lot like mine
All those people that have chosen Bimota engine I guess they know that Bimota doesn't build engines.

Correcto!
If theres a tie, then yes it will go to the person who has the most money left. If its still a tie.......then I'll think of something!
Man, what a ....... that would be, getting all the way through the season and have tie breaker!!
You signed up again just for a new team then you cheat!?

I haven't created a new team just a new account, you see I have multiple personalities ...
It's just in case my supreme strategy turns out to be not so supreme.
Hey if Honda can have 4 teams why can't I have 2 !!!

I think in the interest of the competition it would be best to have one team per member - dont you think?....it would get a bit confoooosing if we all had multiple teams!
I'm open to what everyone wants though

OK Ben, kill my clone then.
WCM was in talks with Bimota to get funding and help to build the chassis, there was talks with KTM to use their V4 engine, but I think they'll end up using their ...... R1 derived home made engine.
It's actually irrelevant because they are not going to score any point, that's if they even make it to the grid.

Cheers for the info!
I know wcm wasnt on the previsonal list, but I added them anyway.
Anyone got a picture of Jason Perez?

Right, forgive me for appearing completely stoopid but how does this work? I've never done one of these fantasy league things. I'd had a few beers yesterday
and it seemed like a good idea, so I just made up a team. But now what happens? I don't even know if my team is any good. Don't all laugh at once.

rider championship gonna be more important. more cash more points. the non existent bimota motor was a financial stratigical sacrifice.

Just for the record Ben, I'm not sure what Jezza's status as far as being official or not for WCM. He's racing for a London Harley/Buell dealer in the Daytona 200 next weekend aboard the "legal" 1350cc XBRR. As to whether or not he will be racing the entire season in the states I don't know. Just thought I would throw that nugget of info out as I saw skidmark or TopCat had him on their team.

ben i think bimota were actually going to do the chassis for wcm but obviously that never paned out. all that picked the bimota motor, & there are a few, will score no points or cash at all in that category. but i'm sure all knew that. ecept you of course
i think 1 team per person only. otherwise we'll have everybody with 2, 3, 4, teams. cause i know i would

Hey Ben are the values dynamic? I mean, if for example a rider that costs 25 starts to win races, will his value increase?

That's what I was thinking. I didn't choose D'antin and Bimota because I thought they'd win. Of course theyre not. I'll get nothing for them. But the money I saved there has got me two consistent top ten riders.

You think DePuniet's gonna win races, Teo?

Cheers mate. Its easier to take him out than to put riders back in, hence why I have sapre riders because the grid is not 100% confirmed yet......I dont believe WCM have been testing once!

Its possible, but a ball ache!!...man I'm gonna be spending my Sunday nights updating this thing
How would you propose calculating value? Its gotta be pretty simple, a + - thing depnding on the previous race (would you take Pole & Qual positions too!? - tyres/teams/engines!
).
If someone can figure out an easy way, then I'll do it - only for the riders though otherwise my life is gonna get consumed with updating the manager!
p.s. Youll notice a link will show on your post if you have a team

Ben I like the idea of have a link (your team name) below my name it's better than closing the window reopen it then going to Fantasy MotoGP League (great idea). If you were at school I would give you 10 out 10 for that
