Rumour is Foggy will be running MVs in WSB next year, with backing from Petronas & Proton.
I understand the Petronas/Proton link and see it would get them off the hook from keep putting out a not very competitive triple. And I know they're interwoven with MV. But I wouldn't have thought Foggy would be MV's choice of a team manger. He is (or at least was) a pretty talented rider. But the riders who've left Foggy Petronas didn't seem overly impressed with his managerial style. -- -- Nidge ZX6R J2 Stunning in zit yellow. KX 125 MX 'I'm snot green -fly ME'. A few bits of CB500S in Norwegian Parrot blue. BOTAFOT#63 BOMB#5 'Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand'. Homer (Simpson).
In all fairness to the irritating git, was the problem the bike or the manager though ? It obviously wasn't the rider given how Corser is doing now. JL
Yeah fair point, the buck stops with the guy running the show. To be honest, given his personality (ie abrasive) he's probably a crap team manager, but I don't think the bikes are quite up to scratch either (although I must admit to wondering why they didn't take them up to 999cc when the rules changed they seem to lack HP) JL
