    Yamaha is back

    Yep back in World Superbike with Alex Lowes and Sylvain Guintoli on board.
    Glad it wasn't the little winger with the gorgeous wife who's name I can't bring myself to say.

    Great news! Should be very competitive if they get enough power out of it.

    Winger? I think I know who you mean, first time they showed her during a race, I did replay it a few times!

    Whinger perhaps? A winger is someone like Savea.

    Their flash road bike looks good off the shop floor, but in WSBK it's no flasher than anything else on the grid.
