Fallen out of bed with Honda. On to WSBK pasture with Kawasaki? May well make WSBK good viewing. got load of top names back in there, and the fact that Pons motogp are taking year out due to lack of sponsership.

Bit of a suprise to be honest, not that he has fallen out with Honda, in truth they probably feel that he isnt consistant enough to be a real competitor in GP racing anymore.

The surprise is that he would go to Kawasaki, its long been known that to really ride the Kwaks on the big stage they have to be really thrashed, if you look back at all the successful riders over the years that have ridden them most have been the sort of rider that really does cane the bike properly and isnt afraid of doing it.

For me Biaggi had more than his fair share of chances over the last season but didnt take full advantage of them, it would be a shame if he drops down to WSBK only to fail miserably there, especially as mentioned with the list of names thats likely to be competing this season ;)

Yeah it's because he's an all or nothing rider, and his 'all' isn't always enough.

I reckon he'll do well in WSBKs, should make it worth watching aswell having some of the GP boys in there playing. I reckon he'll be fine if he doesn't go storming in like a GP Diva, which I reckon he will. He should be grateful just to be racing but i've got a feeling he wont be.

Just been reading some more on this, it would appear that its now been confirmed that he will be teaming up with Troy Corser and Alstare Suzuki, now that could make things very interesting indeed :D :D

It also seems that Barros is indeed possibly moving onto a Honda with Klaffi too,

I think this is possibly where we see the WSBK take a hike back up the stakes seeing as a lot of the big guns have moved back across, it does make me wonder though whether some of its sour grapes and given that Rossi was so far ahead with the Yamaha that it made thinks too difficult to be competitive :)

Just read a little bit on last weeks MCN, that they don't want him, the big bosses in Japan don't wanna get rid of Kagyama!

Imagine how you'd feel if you were a MotoGP star and a WSBs team didn't want you because there BSB rider was too good hahahahahhahahahahaha
