Very
news!!
And possibly a 2nd ride, maybe. My guess would be Motegi if they do a 2nd running of 3 bikes.

I bet he's happy his brother is getting a shot at riding a motogp bike. And I think they'll race each other, carefully, if they happen to fight for the same position.(MC MUSTANG @ Jun. 24 2007,10:31) This will be interesting to see... Nicky is having some trouble, I wonder if this will affect him in any way, mentally...
(bigoltool @ Jun. 24 2007,11:02) This is interesting! Sort of like giving Jamie Hacking second billing on the Kawi team although RLH is the Senior (at least from time in the saddle perspective) member on the team. Good for Roger!
Now if somebody at Suzuki would just get off their butt and give Spies a wildcard for Laguna! The way he rode yesterday at Miller was awe inspiring!
What if the Haydens finish 1-2(Shibumi @ Jun. 24 2007,13:32) And what if Roger Lee beats Nicky?? Oh snap....
I'd be great seeing a 3rd maybe even a 4th suzuki out there in MotoGP(gtrpimp76 @ Jun. 25 2007,01:57) RLH is saying that he's wildcard. Nothing's definite but if he does race, he plans on doing very well. IMHO-This is great for the american contingent!! Although he's not at the pace of a Spies or Mladin, he's got lots of potential for success as he's still quite a young kid.
On the rumour mill: Kevin Schwantz is rumored to be in talks with Suzuki about fielding a satellite team. If so, Ben Spies is reported in getting a wild card as well. But he is contracted to race AMA until 09.
You said it, they'll have to shoot Stoner's tires out to beat him I dont care who is out there racing.(newmill @ Jun. 24 2007,22:10) The folks in Bologna have succeeded in raising the limits of performance on 2 wheels in stunning fashion. The L4 Desmo is just plain faster than EVERY other machine on the track....period. The remaining races are all about who is going to be standing next to Stoner on the podium. Honda has all but conceded failure in the new 800cc format and graciously praised the Italians for they're benchmark designs, Kawasaki has had trouble finishing the races and both Suzuki and Yamaha pilots must run the entire race at the extreme limits of they're skills....with sometimes devastating consequences.
At this point the final results at Laguna will probably be little more than a footnote of the 2007 season.
This is one I am following closely! Huge Scwantz fan and rapidly becoming a big Ben Spies fan. Mladin's talent is obvious but he has said straight up that he has no desire to go back to GP's. Spies took the title convinvincingly last year and is back to winning form this year. If Schwantz does end up running a satellite Suzuki team in MotoGP would Suzuki see fit to move him to the GP squad? I heard a rumor that Jorge' Lorenzo was also mentioned as the possible rider for the Schwantz Suzuki team also?(gtrpimp76 @ Jun. 25 2007,01:57) RLH is saying that he's wildcard.

The really impressive thing is that Stoner is riding mistake free this year and is at least a match for Rossi heads up. Been a while since anyone was able to run toe to toe with him! Fun to watch!(YH2K @ Jun. 25 2007,14:28)You said it, they'll have to shoot Stoner's tires out to beat him I dont care who is out there racing.(newmill @ Jun. 24 2007,22:10) The folks in Bologna have succeeded in raising the limits of performance on 2 wheels in stunning fashion.

That bike with him riding is like watching Spies and Mladin in AMA, no competition.

On the upside...Bridgestone appears to have come up with some new secret squirrel compounds/construction. Good news for consumers!!(Charlesbusa @ Jun. 25 2007,16:23) Rossi is still the best rider out there, but he is suffering from poor tires.
Michelin has got to get it together before Rossi can beat down Stoner
