I'm happy with my 60 inch.

Yeah. He's lost both his brothers in accidents, his eldest brother Bahattin to a traffic accident and the middle brother Sinan died in a training crash in 2008. Kenan is the last of the brothers.

Not very encouraging stuff!

Yamaha are putting a brave face on it, underlining the return to corporate colors. But it is a worrying sign of the state of racing sponsorship that a team as successful and competitive as the Yamaha WSBK team is unable to secure a title sponsor. The fear for Yamaha must be that the factory will also be unable to secure a sponsorship deal for their MotoGP team as well, after Fiat pulled out at the end of 2010. Yamaha's MotoGP machine is to be unveiled at Sepang on Monday night. We shall see then whether Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies will also be running in Yamaha corporate colors.
