Considering that Kenny's on-record advocating those, it'd hardly be a shocker.

i would loove to see them back in gp but the question should be.
can team KR ever afford to return to gp ?
im sure team kr could never match kawasaki's budget and there not competitive.

I think it would be great to see Team KR on the grid again, not just to make the numbers up, but to give a bit more competition.
Perhaps they've spent their time wisely and will come back with the best bike on the grid!
Nah perhaps not..still be good to see them back though.

my all time favourite rider, the only one for me that ranks above vale in greatness?
why yes of course he should be back as a team owner
i'd love it if he stuck it to the big five and won the occ.race

Competent equipment that is capable of podiums ever now and again,YES

maybe motogp could be split in to to races at the same time like one of those touring car series, factory and privateer .....nah bad idea

Speaking of KR, what is KR Sr. up to lately? And KR Jr. what is he doing? I saw Kurtis is racing in AMA superbike for team Celtic. I think more teams back in MotoGP should be the goal, this could happen with spec tire and other leveling rules.

110% agreed. KR is a GP Icon and helps drive the sport. His support could help americans get away from Nascar and into real racing and not Parades.

What drives the sport now are the 'squids' on motorcycles. Even though we all know they don't understand racing, they do still contribute to it in some way. Like the sales of motorcycles, tuning in on Race day giving ratings a boost even though they haven't a clue who the riders are, buying all the latest gears and gadgets, etcc. Now, that's the American way folks.... image is everything so I doubt American fans would be more interested in MotoGP racing if there was to be an American team on the grid, because truth is... they know ..... about racing, all they know is 'rough riders'. Nothing wrong with that, it's just their cup of tea.... but I'm also glad squids aren't polluting the racing scene that we all follow and love so dearly.
