Jacques-McWiliams

Jacques retires
McWilliams signs for Aprilia
Kurtis Roberts to Proton (?)
Nakano to Kawasaki
Haga still out of a job.

So who's going to get that second Repsol Honda seat? no-one?

 

From MotoGP... he's rumoured to be riding a Moto France R1 in WSB.

Sounds pretty likely to me.

Dutch magazines have mentioned he'd possibly get the second Ten Kate
Fireblade in WSB.

Nobody we know, I guess...

Anyone have an idea where McCoy is going??

(I'd like to see Barros on the RCV and Garry on that M1)

Aparently Alex Barros is the favourate for the Honda RCV but no one knows if
yamaha will release him from his two year contract with them, as for Gary
McCoy there are rumours that he has been in talks with some of the teams in
the BritishSuperBikes series but this seems unlikley realy.
It would be great to see the king of slide on a decent bike.

 

The world is full of "if onlys" and "buts" but if Ukawa had not been taken
out at the last GP by Nakano he would have finished in front of Hayden in
the championship. He's obviously not too far off the pace.

This year showed he's not up with Gibernau or Biaggi. (Rossi's now obviously
not an issue) and I think Hayden had passed him by the end of the year.
There's no way of comparing with Edwards yet. Not sure about Tamada.

Which all means? Only that Honda could do worse.

On McCoy I read somewhere that he was favourite to take Laconi's place at
NCR in WSB. Don't know the quality of the source.
