This just in from Ducati Corse:

LACONI AND TOSELAND TO LEAD DUCATI FILA'S 2004 WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP CAMPAIGN - LANZI IN WORLD SUPERSPORT WITH DUCATI 749R

Bologna (Italy), 16 October 2003: Ducati Corse wishes to confirm its official participation in the World Superbike championship, the world's most important production-based racing category, and announces that Regis Laconi and James Toseland will spearhead the Ducati Fila team attack in the 2004 championship on board the successful Ducati 999 factory bikes.

Hodgson will be in the GP "satellite" team, with  A.N.Other. - not Xaus, who goes.........?

sounds like capirossi would make a move from Ducati which would leave hodgsen and bayliss! could be a potent team

I think Troy and Loris will stay in the "A" team, with Neil and someone else in the "B" team.

With Team Kate racing Hondas next year with Muggeridge and Vermeulen, perhaps things will start to shape up OK. Thing is, they keep saying they will be running Fireblades. Surely not - surely they will run CBR1000's.
