More problems for MotoGP as Suzuki halts development on the GSVR

[Cajun]

Early indications are pointing that Suzuki has halted any further development of its 2009 MotoGP race bike. While Suzuki is not pulling out of the series like some other manufacturers, this is another sign that companies are finding motorsports as an expense they can do without in the tough economic climate. The 2008 season saw the signature Rizla blue riders on the podium several times, but with the freeze on development we can only imagine that the boys in powder blue will have an even harder times of things.

well its only the backmarkers which are pulling out really.

but not a good sign at all

[Skunk]

Front runners can only be judged by their distance ahead of the backmarkers.

Well it won't make much of a spectacle if all we get to see is Rossi, Lorenzo, Dovisioso, Pedrosa, Stoner and possibly Hayden anywhere near the front...

I wonder how much effort and expense is currently going into development of the new 600 class bikes? The plan to ditch the 250s could turn out to be reeeeeally bad timing.

We'll see...

Saying that there are currently the house on fire Moto GP (http://74.125.19.113/translate_c?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://moto.caradisiac.com/%2B-Moto-GP-et-Superbike-%2B&usg=ALkJrhhgcraLgdyqXpvv6PFa8Y1_qExtoA) is in the very start of the euphemism.

Do not throw more, cutting the Dorna is full!


The weather was more to the status quo but to the emergency room, a meeting between all manufacturers involved in the Queen category will be held on January 7, Japan. Ducati (http://74.125.19.113/translate_c?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://moto.caradisiac.com/%2B-Ducati-%2B&usg=ALkJrhgGYfn-6bEvpvWALzNcYua68y9FVQ) will obviously travel and Kawasaki will be at the table discussions as a member of the MSMA, the association official blazons.

Axis effort to drastically reduce the costs in the short term will also be discussed, and the side of the FIM, runway paving the way for the purchase of Moto GP facility with plants would be preferred. A philosophy that had allowed the last century to develop seriously the starting grid.
To do this, everyone will be used to ensure reasonable prices.

As for Dorna, no noise on the subject would not filter for the moment on this day, it is true holiday.
But the position of Carmelo Ezpeleta appears to have seriously complicated since recently.

This thread deserves an arse biscuit tag....

Lots of bad news from motorsports at the mo.

[gixxer-king]

motion to introduce an arse biscuit tag.

This is not good news at all. may have a few guys walking round the track just to make numbers.


Aaaaaargh its all so grim

[Pwalo]

It's not a problem. Suzuki shoud just throw a couple of repainted Gixxers in there. They'd be damn near as fast as the GSVR anyway.
