More like Kawasaki are scared that a non factory team would bet them......IMO so safer to withdraw than be shown up.

Put some fing effort Kawasaki otherwise i'll change my advar to a Yam

I am not shocked that they do not wish to have a third bike stinking up the grid. Kawasaki have lost plenty of face already. A third bike would mean Kawasaki staff would be falling on their swords. Who knows maybe their new edition can turn his career around and consequently turn Kawasaki's racing effort around. Their apparent lack of progress is shocking for a factory endeavor.
 
Shame really. I know Kawasaki are pants, but the more bikes on the grid the merrier in my opinion.
 
Agree its a shame and another Kawi could have actually helped them develop and not be an also-ran team.
 
No more Shitya Nakano I guess! I just read the article about WHY Aspar won't be able to run the 3rd bike. Piece of shitya has to have the bike as per the japanese. How stupid and lame is that? Just casue Aspar wants their own rider Kawi won't run the 3rd bike. .... shinya he is done, get some kid from the 250's with some balls and get the extra bike out there. I hope Aspar looks to Suzuki or even Ducati so he can get in there. It would be nice to have another few bikes on the grid cause it really is the more the merrier.
 
you have to respect the sponsors who are paying the big money, you have to please them firstly.

Unfortunately yes they do, but I'm a idealist, I would love to see a grid full of riders who really deserve to be there, not because they have the desired passport.

Isn't that it though. You have guys like Crashy Depoppyeah who is fast but never ever consistant except for crashing. Sylvain thank god is gone. Shinya is no good and he needs to go. Several others are questionable but you have to have GP deep in talent if they want to make this thing work. Not just 5 or 6 guys that are ususally the front runners.

I would love 20 World class riders but there can only be one winner... so 5 or 6 world class riders is more than enough for the show!
