2016 BSB and WSBK movers

Post by duke63 »

Hayden to Ten Kate with the promise of a new Fireblade in 2017.

Aprilia asking for too much money to run a factory backed team.

In BSB, PBM may move to Ducatis.

Not if he is a regular front runner.

I think Max Biaggi added to the value of the championship and hopefully Nicky can do the same.

if PBM go with Ducati I wonder how much support the current Lloyds Ducati team will lose as they would undoubtedly be a secondary team in comparison with PBM and how will this affect Hopkins chances ???

As for Nicky I don't believe that the Fireblade is capable of winning under the current regs in its current incarnation regardless of the rider, if/when the bike gets updated then it may well be a winner and Nicky may get a second world title but VDM is damn quick and will take some beating on the same machinery .

Racing at top level is as much about money as it is the racing.
