Several weeks prior to season 08 is on, team tech 3 principal speaks out about "our engine".
That things happens all the time.
An satellite team does not have access to techical resources at same time that an factory team does. I think he is say

It's with saddened hearts that we at MGPN have learnt that Team Roberts will not be competing in the 2008 MotoGP championship.
2007 proved to be a dire season for Team KR thanks to a catalogue of uncontrollable problems that stemmed from being supplied with a rubbish...
Anybody heard anything more on Kenny Snr's Ducati courtship? I haven't heard a thing in a while now.
I know he wanted to field a two rider team. Who's available? Who's worth hiring? Kenny Jr is a no brainer. I reckon he's still capable of the occasional podium with the right bike, who didn't...
Hmmm..
It just struck me while looking at the time sheets...
Sepang has one of the longest straights and this being the end of the season with a sneak peak at the Suzuki '08 - Good time for a Speed comparo. Looks like the the Speed gap has closed considerably.

Just to let you know; Team Roberts are saying thanks to their fans by putting the name of everyone that registers on their site onto Kurtis' bike for the final 2007 round in Valencia. It would be great to see loads of names up there so please spread the word! The sign up is at...

Rather vague article, but it seems Team Roberts will remain in MotoGP in 2008 with an expanded two rider team and without honda engines!
Good news!
Why is Suzuki no longer present in World Supersport?
Why did Alstare stop entering Suzukis in the smaller class?
I read that Batta wants to enter four bikes in WSBK, I think it should be better to enter two bikes in WSBK and two WSS as they used to.
Or Suzuki could for another team...
Even...
Kenny Roberts has admitted he is seriously thinking about switching his team to SBK.
He said in a recent interview that is team was employing more than thirty persons and he could jeopardize their future.
If he doesn't get the right package he is definitely considering switching to WSBK...
wtf was that .... when he waved rossi through in the middle of the brno race???
let rossi, ducatis main rival for the championship earn more points? let their nearest competitor on the team and manufactureres competition gain points?
yeah he gained back his position late in the race, but...
Spanish media reports that Ducati is very interested in getting Bautista in their team.
Read here and here
Apparantly Ducati would like to "build him up" from the start, leaving him in 250 next year with a team of his choice (probably Aprilia and Aspar) and then getting him into the satellite...
Just read a report on the possiblity of Team Kr not being able to field any bikes for the 2008 season.
Apparently honda are refusing to supply additional engines for any other satelite teams any more apart from the factory teams and - gresini,lcr and minolta. meaning 6 race bikes and 1 engine...
