Does it look like MotoGP is imploding? More and more big sponsors are leaving or they are unable to get new commercial blood. Its never been more popular or interesting (at least since the two great 500 era's) and yet. . . .

Meanwhile, Superbikes are making a comeback. Are we going to see the nineties repeated when Superbikes looked like they were going to take over?

Good news if Gibers goes to Ducati though.

IMHO, Sete is one of two riders (the other Rossi) who can make it happen for Ducati. Good move !!

Did they offer him an additional gallon of gas per race?

Does this mean Biaggi gets another undeserved chance at Honda, or will Vermeulen get a promotion to the bigs?

The article is about Gibernau vacating a Honda seat . . .

Poor Max!

After watching the Jerez race from right next to the fence, I can say that the Ducati is definitely the loudest of the loud! What that has to do with anything is anybody's guess...I think Gibernau is probably his own worst enemy, while Nicky keeps plugging away, making up a little ground here and there.

Well Hopkins resigned with Suz for 2 more years. I guess (IMO) Hopkins isnt looking at wining a World Championship anymore, he wants to be a development rider. Too bad, he could be a contender if he was on a good bike.

Biaggi will be on a Honda again but, on a team that leases last years bikes....

I was disappointed to see Hopkins resign with Suzuki. His stock was high and I think he's ready to move beyond the limits of a second tier (and that's generous) bike. At Laguna Hopkins was carrying monster corner speed but got no acceleration off the turns. Hopkins really won me over with the way he rode the heck outta that turd! I sure hope he knows of something coming in the way of power and tires that is going to revolutionize the Suzuki.
